I thrashed the daughter at today's petanque tournament... I believe it teaches her a valuable lesson to lose graciously and still get yer dad a beer when it's all over.
12 - 7... ha ha. Take that!

^ you do know she'll be leaving' you in the dust shortly?... highly likely she let you win, sympathy for the old man, had a smile on her face didn't she?
She's regularly beating me at chess and backgammon, can now beat me at our 10 length swimming races and usually wins at petanque!
Let me bask in this rare victory!

I really feel the teachers are taking the piss at the moment and having a long holiday!
No online classroom interaction, everything left to the parents.
The teacher logged on to Dojo this morning and set a task for every minute they were online, finished at 9.30am and back on holiday.
So now I've got 15 homeworks to plough through on top off the revision guides and Sats tests from before Easter that are still ongoing.
The best homework set by the teacher in there infinite wisdom was creating an Islamic artefact and writing an essay about it, this is home schooling for 10 year olds.
Thankfully as a home schooling parent,we shall concentrate on the maths,reading and writing. History,geography and PE shall be my department.
Every family has been wondering how they will manage to keep the kids occupied at home during Covid-19 pandemic. So, I would like to share some effective ways to keep children engaged in a productive manner.

I had to go shopping yesterday for corn starch, which I'd never heard of before.
This was to make ooblek, which I'd also never heard of and was the subject of my daughter's online science class today.
One part water, two parts corn starch, and it makes this really weird stuff that is hard if you hit it, but soft like a liquid if you just pick it up with your fingers. The science class
looked like great fun, but I'm glad we don't have carpets.
^ Newton's 3rd law of motion?
I've been learning those this week
I'll await your explanation of how they are not pretty much the same thing, then.
Or alternatively...foj.
I am going to jump in here as my mom was a Texan and used both for cooking all the time... Not my words.
Corn flour is a yellow powder made from finely ground, dried corn, while cornstarch is a fine, white powder made from the starchy part of a corn kernel. Both may go by different names depending on where you live. Corn flour is used similarly to other flours, whereas cornstarch is mainly used as a thickener.
Yup...so pretty much the same (note that wording) and both can be used as a thickener
Cheers, ao.
