Another Fabulous Friday

Friday being our end of term, was a fun filled day for us. We went to see the Naked Scientists...no they were not really naked!

They were at the MTN Science Centre. This entertaining group of physicians and researchers from Cambridge University strips science down to its bare essentials, to help people enjoy science as much as they do.

We watched them Naked Scientists as they unleashed the powers of science in a dazzling series of fun experiments that saw items vanish through the power of refraction, microwaves cook up explosive balls of plasma, materials transformed as their temperature plummets to minus 200 degrees in liquid nitrogen, and a hot air balloon took off ,powered by a toaster

After that a group of 12 children enjoyed the afternoon at our home. We were blessed with a windless, hot day so they enjoyed the pool and trampoline and the girls did some chocolate making. The kitchen was covered in chocolate and there was much licking of fingers and washing of spoons so they could be used again! It was great fun for all! Little Jess however had a nasty accident when she cut her foot on a shell that the dog had been chewing on the lawn...she had to be rushed off to the emergency room to have it seen to.

Here are some of the girls melting the chocolate and having fun!
