”This is called a rocket on earth, but when it is in space it's called a space ship. The stars are silver coloured instead of gold or yellow. The moon is made out of rock and dust. There is an astronaut inside the rocket. There is fire coming out of the rocket, so the rocket zooms to space. There's no gravity in space, but on the moon there is a little bit of gravity.”

Happy Holidays! I forgot to mail Christmas cards this year, so here is one via email and/or social media to all our friends and family! Why waist your money on buying printed cards, when you can ask your children to draw a unique design! You can teach your children to use Gimp (or other graphical design programmes) to make the layout for the card, too. Very useful project. 

Tonight, my oldest (age 6,5 years) drew some Red-bellied piranhas. Here are his fresh comments:  ”Red-bellied piranhas have snapping mouth, because they like to eat all the time. They are too hungry, because they have small sharp teeth. It means that they are fishers who are dangerous to small fishes. This means they eat small fishes. So, when they are too hungry they need to find small fishes or sometimes they eat fish eggs. Noin ne tekee oikeasti . That is what they are doing really. Now you know about Piranhas, the fishers. In some countries, these people who live in rainforests, they use piranhas for scissors. That helps rainforest people to live.”
