Whilst I am not be delivering Curious Kids Adventures until next term, there is lots of exciting activity going on being the scenes! Our curriculum is finalised for next term and we have some amazing questions (all asked by children) to answer.
Here is a sneak preview of a few of the crafts my own curious kids and I have been testing out for the following Curious Kids Adventures:
"How fast can Cheetahs run?"
"How are clouds made?"
"How do mirrors work?"
If you have children in Y2 and 3 in Brimscombe C Of E Primary School or Nailsworth Primary or Y2 in Beaudesert Park School remember to sign your children up to our Curious Kids after school clubs!

My own curious kids and I visited Coventry Transport Museum a couple of days ago where I took this photo as it show the speed of a Cheetah, which is one of the amazing questions I have been asked recently by a curious kid.
One of our Curious Kids Adventures next term will explore "How fast are Cheetahs?" and look into how Cheetahs are adapted to reach such speeds. I hope you can all join me!
Keep following Curious Kids on FB and IG for when the date is released.

Thank you to everyone who joined me this morning at our Curious Kids Adventure. It was so lovely to have such a mix of curious kids from different stages of my own Curious Kids journey. We had curious kids from our after school clubs, who are regular's to our Saturday Adventures, from the home ed group I visit, those who can't join in term time and I haven't seen since last summer, some from back in my early development days and some new faces too π. It was wonderful to see you all. Thank you for all your support.
Here's me: ready for the summer......come on Sun!

That is a Curious Kids wrap to the term. Thank you so much to everyone who has joined me on a Curious Kids Adventure. We have had fun and learnt lots along the way!
Other than 1 Adventure in August, I am taking a little break from delivering Curious Kids over the summer. However, my own 2 curious kids and I are in research and development mode developing all new sessions for next year! As always, Curious Kids is child led and answers the questions children ask. So, if your curious kid has a science question they would like answering next term, please share in the comments.
I will still be checking emails and socials, so stay in touch. I just may be a little slower than usual.
