A much reduced number for wodensmeet, with the summer coming and all sorts of changes going on, it all gets just that bit more flexible! Em joined us tho and we had a lovely day together. We did some experiments showing osmosis. [from that fab biology web page] and did clearly show the effect of osmosis on water cells, and then on stomata on a leaf. With much encouragement and leading we got the whole photosynth making stuff, therefore waste products, increased osmolality within the cell [some digression wrt sharing smarties, which room would kids - water - rush into, the room with lots of smarties - high osmolality - or the room with few smarties - yep, they would go to the high concentration room ] causing turgor of stomata so they open etc etc. Biology is v clever isn’t it!
E and SB spent ages with Em playing the recorder [must sort the music out!] . BB also allowed EM to do some recorder with her – woot woot [and has picked up the recorder since] I clearly was hiding whilst taking pics so as not to disturb
A fair bit of game playing went on, both boardgames and bouncing about outside. Currently the 2 families kids are working well together, so that makes life much nicer as all get to play/interact and feel wanted.
We also baked some shortbread cookies- everyone was happy with that too.
great day, thankyou BB enjoyed judo at the end of it, but SB couldn’t because of her hurt wrist.
And has picked it up since
it was a lovely day thank you xxxxxxx
