We got Varsha into diy.org on the computer. It works much better than on the iPad. She is interested in the drawing camp and the minecrafting camp but we will wait till we get back from our trip to sign her up.

She can earn badges in different skills by completing different challenges. Varsha looked at the different challenges in the Minecrafter skill. She downloaded a new app for the create a skin challenge. She and Laxmi really enjoyed making customised skins.

Laxmi has been making pixel art in Minecraft. Today she built a picture of herself and Varsha. Varsha has her arms out protecting Laxmi.

Varsha and I treated the chickens feet for scaly mite. They didn’t like it very much at the start but they are getting used to it.

Laxmi has been looking very glamorous for the last two days in the flamenco dress she has borrowed from Thiango. Today she added a sparkly Christmas hat to the outfit.

We learned some Japanese food words tonight and read Wind in the Willows. We have three more chapters to read before we go. Toad has escaped from
prison.
