Learning from mistakes.

Following on from our session together looking at subtraction, K had a go at the questions I'd set for her.  Again, she didn't want me to see what she'd done, but checked her answers herself when she'd finished, using a calculator.  She then happily came and reported to me how she'd got on.  She told me she'd made 'quite a few mistakes' but had found most of them herself before she'd started checking with the calculator, which as far as I can see means that those errors don't count as she'd put them right!  When I asked if she thought she'd like a bit more practice before moving on she said she would, so I have made her another worksheet from here.

We've now finished the first Charlie Bone book, and started on the second one and both K & M have started getting out their cross-stitch or tapestry to work on while I'm reading.  I will be allowed to photograph them when they are finished but not before.

Both girls have also continued to spend quite a lot of time with the Weasleys, aka the various body models, taking them apart and reconstructing them.
