Fireworks and e-cards

On this our 8th week, we looked at the Fireworks project again with the new group. I suggested that they could adapt the project to make an e-card and this seemed to work well.  Alabama (female, 9/10 years) and Joe (male, 9/10 years) both produced really good cards and Alabama was allowed to bring her mother in - to look at what she'd achieved. Everyone in this group has completed a project (that I've tried out and discussed with them) now.

New group - new challenges

Our new group has 7 girls and 4 boys. There are some bright sparks this time so I'm going to bring forward some challenges which appear later in order to keep the children, who find a project easy, working on something worthwhile for the whole 55 minutes.
