My sudden burst of laughter over the animal crossing comment propted the boys to ask “whats funny mummy?” Needless to say I didn’t enlighten them!

Water expts sound very successful! I find it hard to stay out of the play investigating stuff too. It’s knowing when to bring in the idea of making and testing a hypothesis when they seem to just be faffing about that is tricky. The BA First Investigator stuff is useful for guiding you through those stages, I’ve found. And I did science at uni and for a job, but it still helps to be reminded to really break the process down.

Sounds like a good and meaningful day and yes it probably is a phase and this too will pass whatever it is and although it is easy to say that when you’re not experiencing it, I always try to think of the way we say similar things about our children and once their phase is over, we can suddenly see it’s true.

Bob, that is a very nice thing to say about them - and useful to have a reminder of that equipment-method-conclusion type stuff we did in science!

Alison I’m telling myself that and hoping it goes away! Nice idea about plasticine, i’ll try that!
