Zak had his swimming lesson on Saturday, still in heatwave conditions, and the break obviously did him some good. He had improved so much that his teacher promoted him to the next level, Dolphins, where he will now start learning butterfly (a stroke he has been dying to learn for some time now!). He really seems to be putting in alo of effort with his swimming now, which is great to see!
I started to look for some information, via the internet, on computer game programming, or ways in which I can start to teach this to Zak, as he has expressed an interest in programming for a while now. I was ecstatic to find a website where the author has even written a programming guide specifically designed for beginners and children! So now we just need to set aside some time every couple of days in which we can sit down and work through it together, so that his hunger for knowledge doesn't dwindle!
On Sunday, we came across a show on TV called Bad Universe. This particular episode, Death Stars, documented the violent forces that occur throughout the universe when a star dies. Zak wrote a two page report about what he had seen.
Sunday afternoon saw the end of the heatwave, so now we can try and get back into a more regular routine!
