Just trying to butt in here

Everyone has to

A fly on a Sweet Pea

Mad Science in action

The kids called it sick and awesome - we just called it fun!

All the experiments were closely supervised and used dry ice, corn syrup, glycerine, washing-up liquid and water.

The dry ice was only handled directly by trained grown-ups.

Everyone wonders what is in the box

Must be dangerous - it needs gloves!

A balloon inflating itself using dry ice

Making the bubble mix - water, washing-up liquid and glycerine

Adding dry ice to the bubble mix

Huge bubbles - great for halloween

Loading a balloon with dry ice using a tube - keeps the hands safe and the balloon neck open

Feeling the frosty bubbles

See the balloons growing all by themselves

And they get bigger and bigger

Seeing the dry ice melting straight from solid to gas

Our super bubble mix using corn syrup

Filling the giant bubble maker with mix
It's the boy in the bubble

And the girl in the bubble


We even put Nicola in the bubble
Mad scientist coffee - just like Heston Blumenthal makes

Pass the balloon around, watch it grow

Summer Fair 2013

Summer Fair 2013
 
It was time for our annual summer fair again this year we held it on Saturday 6th July 2013, it was a very good day and very hot too!
The staff even got involved and had a go in the sumo suits

Jacob did an excellent job in goal at penalty shoot out.

We even had a special visitor LENNY THE LION from Shrewsbury Town FC. He came to visit all the children and have some photographs. Everyone was so happy he could make it.

We had diddi dance come to do some dancing with the nursery and out of school.


Lucinda had fun with Grandma playing on the Guess the name stall.


Sponsored Diddi Dance-Asda Shrewsbury

Sponsored Diddi dance in Asda
We did a sponsored Diddi dance at Asda Shrewsbury for one of our pre-school children Poppy.
The children had a lovely time showing the local community their routines to the diddi dance songs.

 
With very kind help and support we managed to raise £471.90 for Poppy and her family to help get themselves new things that they unfortunately lost in a house fire. They were presented with their cheque at our Summer fair.
