Look what I've found, Mummy!

Firstly, some maths.  Yesterday, K finished off the worksheet I'd made for her on 'units'.  She matched up the metric and imperial units that went together and then chose suitable equipment and, using metric units, measured:  her handspan, how much a particular mug holds, her weight, how long she could hold her breath, the weight of three apples and the distance from our front door to the bottom of the stairs.  That was the last of the first chapter, about the 'Number Bunch', which also included Zero, Infinity, Minus Numbers, Fraction and Decimal Fraction.  We will now be moving onto the 'Special Sum-things', basically the four operations, plus x (who is, apparently, "a nameless secret agent who haunts maths equations"!).

And now for what it was that was found.  Today was Asfordby, with the topic of recycling.  There was a bring and swap table, a good way of re-homing unwanted items, the remainder of which was taken to a charity shop.  K & M took some books and a few other bits and pieces, not as much as I'd like, but at least they parted with more than they brought home!  We brought back some animal figures, some animal sponges for painting and a top for me!  As well as this, there was paper making, although neither K nor M had a go, and box modelling.  K helped her friend Z make a gerbil cage (they did realise it wasn't exactly appropriate material for the purpose!) as well as a little thing of her own.  M spent most of the time outside playing with some of the boys.  At one point she came in, saying 'Look what I've found, Mummy!' and dumped something on my lap.  She and O are sharing ownership, but it's going to live at O's house, much to his mum's delight I'm sure!

A dead frog, with some of the skeleton showing through the dried out skin!
