The run up to Christmas!

Well, Christmas seems to have crept up on me yet again! Here at  Fun Science, preparations are well underway for science themed Christmas Parties and our Christmas holiday sessions. 

Fun Science seems to have developed a (very small) parental following and after just two posts about our science themed activity days (complete with a Christmas mystery and launching Santa's Sleigh) five children have signed up already! I have to admit, this made me more than a little excited! Hopefully more children will book to come soon and our limit of 40 children will be reached. Forty children looks like a lot when you write it down, but with 5 members of staff on hand to help and the children split into small groups it soon becomes manageable. 

Other Fun Science events coming up include running a science themed activity day for children at Heywood School on the 18th December, 4 free assemblies for local schools, 15 birthday parties between now and the end of December, being a guest speaker at a Bath Spa University industry insights event, talking to year 10 pupils about business and attending the launch of the Engine Shed in Bristol. It's a good job I enjoy being busy!

Next term we will be running our science themed after school programme at The Paragon School, Bath and St Keyna Primary School, Keynsham but that's a blog post for another day!

The perfect picture!

Sometimes you just capture a picture that you can't stop looking at - it's just that perfect! The photo above is one of those, a photo taken by a good friend of mine Claire Soulsby (@talesfromme) at her daughter's birthday party. It's one of those photos that you will use over and over, and show off regularly to many long-suffering friends (and now you too!)- every business/person needs a photo like this! So here it is, a photo taken from a Fun Science Chemical/Electrical Extravaganza that captures perfectly the atmosphere of our birthday parties, a photo that is, in my opinion, a fantastic representation of how science can be fun. All photos used with parental permission of course.

Hello!

Hello and welcome to the new blog of Fun Science! From here we will be posting details of events, experiments to do at home, scientific discoveries and various things as seen through the eyes of a Fun Scientist!

But first, you may be wondering who exactly we are - Fun Science is a company based in Bath which travels to Bristol, Yeovil, Swindon, Frome etc., delivering science birthday parties, after school clubs and assemblies to local children - all in the name of Fun! It is our belief that learning through interactive demonstrations and play is the best kind of learning there is! So now you know who we are and a little about the way we think. I hope this blog can be useful to some people and if you would like to find out more please visit http://www.fun-science.org.uk .
