We had a lovely weds with our flexible Wednesday group. I always miss those that couldn’t come but enjoy the company of those that can 
We started the day with kfish talking about Picasso, a bit Bout his life and then a bit about how his art developed. There was a chance to choose which of a variety of styles each child wanted to use to create something with a Picasso like appeal. The resulting pictures were well thought out and a unique spin on the Picasso-esque genre.
As some of the children finished I took them into the kitchen to help me use up some very dry baguette. We made bread and butter pudding and cheese farts for snack in the afternoon
After the obligatory pasta lunch e did animation with everyone . The story is coming along nicely and bob, small, lfish have now completed their parts I think. They have really loved doing this and not only the art and practical side of animation but also enthusiastically working out the ideas as a group, as this is a group project.
When people were at a pause in animation, either waiting for the computer or having finished, I took them in 2′s for science. We have finished the first stage of the young engineers, and it being mostly about rockets and propulsion, I thought I would go back to basics and do some this is a gas, what a gas is, how we can make some of the common gases and then how we can test for them. i have to say, although I got across all the equations, chemical formulae, key words etc, I think they will mostly remember the black volcano! here’s hoping to some of the chemistry staying in too!
