What Makes A Good Pizza?

It's been weeks since I last blogged, I had a chest infection and wart finger (3) that wouldn't go using Bazooka so rather them getting it frozen I decided to use ACV unfortunately in my haste I used too much and ended up taking most of my skin off my index finger, so now I am typing with my middle fingers.


The carnation experiment failed, we got a tiny bit of pink in one flower but mostly we got mould in the water....




We have since tried the milk experiment with the same food colouring using both semi skinned and full fat and that experiment failed too so I'm thinking I need to try a different food colouring.......



The ACV is working a dream, just using on the wart with a cotton bud now, dabbing a bit on and keeping covered with a plaster. Hopefully soon the bloomin thing will be gone.

Anyway since I last blogged, Shay has turned 9, she had an amazing Minecraft  birthday with family and friends.


BFF made the most amazing cake ever!!!

We completed the Science course learning about solids and liquids.





 and about DNA. Pronounced (dee-oxy-rye-bow-nu-clee-ik acid).



Whilst doing English, we came across a question about a lion, Shayla asked does Lion poo contain DNA? So we researched Lion poo. I draw the line at extracting DNA from one of our cats poops. Yes you can, but no I won't.

I also completed pt 1 of Learning Coding, really enjoyed the course and looking forward to part 2.

During the course I learnt about a programme called Scratch and we have incorporated that into our IT lessons. We have had so much fun trying to use it.





Ariel is learning the time...


We received our maps and stickers from Bear so that's another project to start soon. Sent 20 bar codes and received 2 maps and 2 lots of stickers. 1 each for the girls. Very impressed.


We had a camp night and turned the bunk beds into a tent and read stories in the dark....



Ariel has been working hard




Shay having a relax


I still haven't used the sewing machine, bought plenty of material from the charity shops but we decided they were too nice to cut up.

However we got a cardboard doll yesterday that came with lots of material and the girls made outfits and Shay made a cushion.










They had fantastic fun and now Shay is addicted to sewing :)



She has also worked out how to make music in Minecraft and is working hard at her English & Maths although her favorite is IT and Science and Reading.

We just found out tonight that The Magic Faraway Tree is to be made into a film!!!!
