A little more paint just here...
It was another chilly, grey day today, so I thought I would stay indoors and have a go at painting a cheery Spring scene. Here you can see me in the studio putting the finishing touches to my masterpiece. Do you like it?
Hiding under the duster
Caz was having friends around this evening, so she was going round frantically dusting and cleaning the house. I decided I could help out a little by doing a bit of dusting. I hope we can make things spick and span before the guests arrive!
I can see stars!
I decided to give up measuring things and just look at them instead. So I got my little telescope out tonight and looked at the heavens. There were lots and lots and lots of stars – more than I could count.
Studying the stars is called Astro-nomy, at least I think that’s how you say it. But that sounds more like the study of Gnomes to me!
About ten seconds
Having got a bit confused yesterday, I thought today I would try answering the age-old question: How Long Is A Piece Of String?
I’m not sure why everyone is so keen on finding out. But it would seem that the answer is about ten seconds. Does that sound right?
About four inches
I learned lots of interesting things about maths and science yesterday, when we were at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. Especially about measuring time and space. So today I thought I would put it into practice.
Caz was busy in her office, and I wanted to know how long til lunchtime, as my tummy was beginning to rumble. I found this handy little ruler and measured it to be about four inches. Somehow, that doesn’t seem right. I’m a bit confused now!
East meets West
Caz showed us a place called the Prime Meridian in Greenwich, where one side of the Earth meets the other.
Leo is sitting in the Eastern hemisphere, and I’m in the Western. But we can still shake hands!
The Royal Observatory Greenwich is a very interesting place to visit. We also enjoyed a long sunny walk around the Park, but it was very cold so we snuggled in the bag to keep warm.
Mr McFly takes a break
We helped Caz find some more geocaches today. And look who we met guarding one of the boxes!
Leo suggested we have our photo taken and Mr McFly was pleased to oblige.
