Am: I’m joined by works other half John Heywood and my partner in grime Cheryl Ireland to get busy chopping card up for our fingerprint workshop, cutting out rocket fins and trimming paper aeroplanes.
Togther with a KNEX workshop on levers and pulleys and PH testing of various solutions 60 pupils from Walney school will be visiting tomorrow to spend the day at Yottenfews and the Visitors centre.
PM: Millie’s eagerly awaited parcel arrives – and is very quickly deposited on the floor once the deliverer found out the contents.
Have now got a box of worms with a headache (the worms that is, not me), tomorrow I shall be at the Lakes College Lillyhall which is holding the annual Rotary Club Technology Tournament which we have sponsored and provided judges for some years now. Teams of invited secondary school students will all tackle the same engineering challenge competing against each other and the teachers who, oddly enough, never win!
Next week we’re off to Millom school to meet up with Galileo – having been around a bit he tells us he needs two hours to do his make-up (only slightly more than myself!) He shall be performing to year 7 & 8 pupils on the topics of Aristotle’s universe, the pendulum, theories of motion and much more. I shall be taking photos – watch out David Bailey.
Further blogging on Weds to update you all on how science is going – watch this space...
