We have had a very mutlicultural week here and it is only tuesday! It started last week with Halloween, complete with American treats and decorations (thank you auntie p!), then on to french on friday and rounded off with guy fawkes day and diwali at home ed group yesterday. We had activities for both guy fawkes and diwali at home ed group yesterday, not sure how well they went together, but the children seemed to enjoy themselves and hopefully learned a little about each holiday. It was a complete glitter session. My hands are still blue from all the glitter glue on sam's rocket. The fizzy rockets were a mixed bag, the type of lid on the film cannister seems to determine whether the rocket will launch or not, unfortunately we didn't discover that until halfway through the launching process. Oh well, we will know for next time.
Sam is now working on two badges for beavers, the Hobby badge and the Animal friend badge. Three guesses as to the hobby he has chosen-that's right warhammer! One of the things he has to do is to play the game 4 times at games workshop. He and I went on sunday and he was so excited. It was the biggest game he has played, there were about 5 on each side. He held is own really well and was by far the most blood thirsty of all the boys despite being the youngest. He will have to do a little presentation about warhammer to his troop which shouldn't be a problem as he can talk about it for hours! The trick will be to get him to order his thoughts and keep it brief. He is taking care of Orlando for his Animal friend badge and is petitioning to be allowed to take him in when he does his talk. Somehow I don't think that Orlando would enjoy it, especially as monday is his food day.
