I really need to make sure that I write plans down. Even very quickly. Review previous and write a blog for the next plan. It's a discipline thing I guess.
I did not like the first session and I think that our explorers also did not feel up to doing much of what we did. M and I were as solid as always. Well they all were so perhaps it was just me. I think I went to numbers too quickly. Block work worked except for those who fashioned small hammers for their toys and proceeded to chop at the chair.
Two things: A different puzzle. I should have left the sum difference puzzle as self access (and done some self access). Kakuro would have been good or something like that. Arithmagons need to come once that puzzle has been mastered. Self access from now.
The art starter needed more of an injection process. I needed suggestions to broaden thinking and I'm not sure how I could have gone about that.
The dots game was good. Especially as it engaged N & L who are getting more difficult to reach. They laid their results out really well. I will have to give everyone the chance to do look at that again.
Second thing (finally) I need to sell activities. The king and prince
tower worked for that. I needed that for the wooden blocks which I just gave up on after M had his revalation. I didn't have any where to go with it from there. Perhaps a waste of development time but who knows.
Project discussion was a good start and end game (needs a name) also went well. Maybe needs speeding up and numberising. Explorers could keep track of counters that they are interested in.
The second session was much more laid back and the activities worked better. Down and out was really good. Kakuro went well but I would have liked to find a way to deal with it using blocks. A good intro would be to get them thinking about combinations that make 7 from 2 or 3 etc. I suppose that's what the first activity did though.
Key take aways: story or hook for each activity (at least one)
