It’s safe to come out now!
I’m all happy again now I’ve vented!
Today she made the bookmark I’ve been asking her to do for weeks in order to finish the very last bit of her Booklover badge. She’s done all the "hard work" she just needed to produce something that wasn’t just a print off from some website or other, badly cut out and coloured in so that I could be happy that she isn’t insulting Brown Owl’s inteligence when she takes it all in! She’s done a lovely job, she cut out flowers from fab foam and stuck them onto a strip of purple foam. We also had lots of Hobbit, some body book, some more Romans and then she got "Globetrotting" out - its like twister but with a world map instead of coloured spots. There was a little confusion here and there with left and right but I’ll forgive her that! She’s all excited about doing a bit of project work and quite scarily excited about the continent cards and moon phase cards I printed off for her, I think maybe she’s turning into a slightly Monte child after all…
I do like the various sets of cards. Found that the nomenclature cards for things like parts of flower etc went down really well at school, kids took ages doing beautiful diagrams and labelling them carefully.
