Session ideas - 13 June - lines and curves

We focussed on using compasses last week so next session, we can try to use rulers to rule straight lines and get compass use in again.
I plan to prepare materials to introduce the idea of digital roots (possibly would work as a starter with the hundred square.

I am not sure exactly what yet but I would like to move from there towards mystic roses of different sizes.  This can be about working with a ruler and also about how many colours you would need to colour regions separately.
That can lead to curve stitching ideas that can be done on paper and can start by introducing circles again but go on to other curves.  I guess we would need templates but maybe we could get them to design a template if we actually had a board and drawing pins.

Lots of ideas that need to be resourced and framed with in challenges, exploration, games and things that might provide meaning for our explorers including hopefully the really young ones.
