A quick tour of my "pulleys" workshop and story session for my Home Ed group in Marlpit. It was a lovely session, can't wait to repeat it all with my group at Watlington! Do message me if you are interested in any of my sessions.

I had a fantastic session with my home ed group. We visited the Galapagos Islands and observed populations of finches to learn about mutations, natural selection, adaptation and evolution.

I had a wonderful visit to Tibenham WI group last week. I gave them a talk about the exciting world of Forensic Ecology - using plants, pollen and soil to solve crimes! A big thank you to the ladies for looking after me and making me feel so welcome xx

A fabulous session with my Home Ed groups last week. We were learning about the science behind looking after our teeth. I hope that if children understand why its important to clean their teeth and the science behind it, they are more likely to brush their teeth.

What a wonderful evening with the ladies at Old Buckenham WI. I was introducing them to the fascinating world of Forensic Ecology, using pollen, plant fragments and soil to solve crimes. We had so much fun!

A fabulous event at the Baseline Centre in Norwich on behalf of The Forum, Norwich. Bringing science to our communities. Children had the opportunity to be real life soil scientists, based on the PhD work carried out by scientists working at Morley/UEA.

What a weekend! I was very lucky to be invited to the Framlingham show. We were giving families the opportunity to extract DNA from bananas just like a real scientist. The location was amazing, set in the ground of Framlingham College, with the castle and lake in the background.

I was asked to come up with some "nature inspired" activities for the Police at the "Bugs & Beasts" event at Henderson Park, organised by the The Forum, Norwich this week. The children loved having a go at being Forensic Soil Scientists and nature detectives!

One of the things I love is when I am approached with a request for a specialised workshop. In this case Dragon Hall wanted a way of show casing the incredible history of the building in an exciting way to engage children.

I love the Norfolk Show! This year we brought our "Harvest Heroes" on tour, which was an extension of the workshop we performed at the Norwich Science Festival. The children loved it!

"The Rainy Day Story", is one of my favourites to perform for children. The pupils at Sparhawk Primary loved this story! Get in touch if you would like to book this story for your class or group of children. TLSTC@outlook.com.

I loved helping out with the "Harvest Heroes" activities which we are taking on tour to communities in Norfolk as part of the Norwich Science Festival. For this one we were at Marlpit Community garden, which is an amazing location.

The Schools Farm and Country Fair at Trinity Park in Suffolk is an amazing event. 4,500 children come to a "mini" Suffolk show for the day. All the transport is provided for them and this year each school got a free tree from Bartrams! What's not to love!
