More maths and making things.

It was Asfordby today and the children were making shoe box houses/rooms.  K & M really enjoyed this activity and spent most of the session on their shoe boxes.  They were each pleased with their results, although M is apparently planning a loft conversion (more extension than conversion though, I think).

K went for a room - with wallfeathers rather than wallpaper!

M has four rooms in her house, so far.

After having something of a struggle yesterday to get K to finish a maths worksheet, today she did two!  They were rather easier though being on bar charts and pie charts.  In each case she had some questions to answer about a chart and then some data to present using one.  There's only one page left in Basher Maths, which I'm half way through making a worksheet for, but K spotted that we managed to miss out a couple, so has requested that I go back and do one for each of those.  I'm not quite sure I can get a whole worksheet out of zero or infinity though!

M went to Brownies for the first time in a while, having missed quite a lot lately due to her 'under-the-weather-ness' from which she finally seems to be getting better.  She has been saying for a while that she's not really enjoying Brownies much lately, as she was finding it boring and everyone who she was particularly friendly with has now moved on.  We had previously spoken to Brown Owl about her probably stopping at Christmas (although she still can go on the Pantomime trip in January, which I've already paid for).  I wasn't happy about M just stopping, so we agreed that she would go this evening to give it one last chance and she could decide at the end whether she wanted to continue or not.  If she decided to stop, she'd be able to let them know herself and say thank you, and that is what she decided to do, so M will be having a break now, until she can start Scouts in September.
