Roy’s Current Favourite- Umizoomi

Dominique Thoughts

NickJr’s Team Unizoomi is what Roy loves to watch on television these few weeks. The team of Mili , Geo and Bot work together to solve the various maths problems which are posed to them from the child in need.  In each episode the team encounters problems which they solve via  counting, measurement and comparison. They too focus on pattern and shapes which are important pre-school maths concepts. I like the fact that Nick Jr has a cartoon show which teaches maths in a fun way.

There are maths games online on their website which Roy likes playing. The games focuses on shapes and number, music and movement and puzzles.

Do your kids love this show too?

New Zodiac .. A Change in Personality?

Dominique Thoughts

According to the latest findings there is a new 13th sign called Ophiuchus(Serpent Holder). Apparently this is not anew finding but one that has been recently re-highlighted on the news on television.The new sign is really a mouthful to pronounce and there aren’t many articles on it for reading. I’m not too bothered about this reclassification as a person’s character is not embedded in stone and evolves as one grows older.

Based on the new charts there has been some shifts in our astrology signs.

Ryan is no longer a Pisces but a Aquarius.  Roy on the other hand is no longer a Sagittarius but a Ophiuchus. Riona  has also changed from a  Virgo to a Leo. It is really baffling for most people who have grown up believing that they were associated with the former Zodiac signs.  I for one am not really into Zodiac signs as I follow the Chinese Zodiac instead. I feel that it is more accurate and is the true reflection of a person’s character and personality triads.

We have a zoo here with the wildly roaming monkey, dog and tiger. All three of them have strong personalities and  can be a real handful dealing with at times.

How is it over in your household?
