am gradually going to catch up with blogging! last weekend was in the science festival. we were somewhat late getting in – can’t remember why! and the girls had a desire to go to the sedgewick site bits, so we looked at the archaeology areas, the earth sciences area and the mycology before lunch. We’ve not been in these areas in previous years, so thought they were pretty interesting. BB wowed with her knowledge of t rex bone, and SB was fascinated by all the earth sciences. lots of microscope looking down in different bits. unfortunately the chaos thing was full, and although the main chemistry looked interesting, the family vote was then round the zoology museum [which they like] and then to the biology area – a real hit! BB loved making her virus, and SB having a mad sciencist pic taken and painting the microbiology by numbers. ALso a fair bit of chat and interaction with the various stands. SB impressing quite a few of them with her knowledge. we were shattered coming home, but that didn’t stop the girls engaging in earthquake reenactments with sylvanians!
sunday we did an rspb walk with 2/3 of the manor borns, the other feeling somewhat unwell. we totally messed up on meeting :blush: am hoping michelle might forgive us! but we did, after 25 mins, work out that we were both there!! and did a reverse quarry route and all had a lovely walk, with only one minor moment from the least likely of my children… really enjoyed it, including the icecream at the end!
That all sounds fab. We are coming down tonight, but sadly not in time for the Richard Wiseman talk. I’m looking at the program now and thinking we’ve missed most of the best stuff
Do you have any recommendations for the last Fri/Sat/Sun?
