Weve has a busy week this week, I dont know where its gone! I havent had the energy to blog, each evening Ive just collapsed in a heap!
Thankfully Sophie cooked on tuesday making some lovely felafels and Tsatziki ! Shes keen to try them again and see if she can improve them on the recipe she had which she felt was a little too bland for her liking.

Yesterday we joined other home edders at Techniquest, the hands on science centre. We'd been having a lazy day but I felt the need to get out and do something and out membership needed renewing anyway. Its good value at £45 a year, considering it would cost £20+ to get us all in for one visit usually, ( for home ed visits you get a big reduction if you prebook!)

The kids found lots of exhibits which connected with our Human body science projects, Sophie got to grips with the internal organs in life size and Connor managed to steer a car'The wrong way'( controls in reverse) and raise his heart beat by 30bpm just by thinking angry thoughts ( and when he gets angry he gets ANGRY!) from 68bpm at rest to over 100!




This was their favourite new exhibit.. an optical illusion in 3D!
