Hi all

Yep, I know, it's been ages AGAIN!!! I am soooo useless at this. In fact I have just spent most of the afternoon on FB instead of doing this. Why? Because I forgot about it!!! Der!!!!
Anyway, let's have a very brief (hopefully) review of May 2011:

The first part of May was getting the Waves project finished for the Home Education Science Fair in Eastling. The project turned out ok and was on the general formation of waves and a bit more on tsunamis. I didn't take any photos of the event itself as my stupid camera has been playing me up lately, sorry about that. Callum wouldn't stand up in front of anyone, but he did demonstrate his 2 wave machines that he made to anyone who investigated his table, so well done him!

He enjoyed looking at everyone's work and the science show at the end was amazing as usual.

Other events in May: We went to see Horrible Histories at Dartford (Awful Egyptians in the morning and Ruthless Romans in the afternoon. A small group of us went and everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy it. The only downside for Callum is that for the second half of each show they do Bogglevision (3D) and you have to wear glasses. Callum doesn't like 3D; it gives him headaches, so he watched as much as he could with and without the glasses. It didn't stop him enjoying the shows though.

Our second Riverside Rangers was doing pond dipping. We were checking wildlife to see how healthy the pond was and found a number of different creatures including a dragonfly larva and water snail eggs.

Callum enjoyed it, but felt that 2 hours was a bit long.

We also had a couple of social days with his friends, which is always good fun. And trampolining as usual. James is trying to get badge 8 finished before he leaves for Australia in August, so he is concentrating on somersaults and combination moves. Callum is finding it hard, but he is still enjoying it and doesn’t want to stop. We did attend a proper competition (only to watch), which Callum enjoyed and it was nice to see what he is working for.

I think that’s about the gist of it for last month.
