This book recommendation comes to us from our lovely volunteer, Allison Jordan-Knox.
‘I read this book to my granddaughter who is 7yrs old. At times she held herself because she was caught up in the feelings of the characters. What is cute about this book is the way facts are told. Whether it’s how a certain creature eats or how we can jump to judgment about someone only to find out the truth later.’
Thank you Allison!
Thank you to A Teachable Year for these jokes
It’s fun to do this experiment with pumpkins at Halloween!
Carve a small pumpkin; make the holes quite small and keep the lid of the pumpkin handy. Use orange food colouring, do the experiment in the pumpkin and as soon as you add the yeast, put the lid back on.
Sometimes we just carve a hole for the mouth, use green food colouring and call it VOMITTING PUMPKINS!

This is one of my favourite books. It was written specifically for children with SMA but works for all children with disabilities.
It reminds us that the lives of children with disabilities are different to, but not less than, the lives of typical children. In fact, being different means approaching everyday difficulties with a fresh perspective and unique ‘smarts’.
In October 2020, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to The World Food Program.
Freerice
is a fun and educational trivia game that lets you make a difference and get smarter — just by playing. With dozens of categories — from English vocabulary to famous paintings — you can quiz yourself on your favourite subject, and support the World Food Programme at the same time.
As you play Freerice and answer questions correctly, you trigger a financial payment, equivalent to 10 grains of rice, to the World Food Programme (WFP) to support its work saving and changing lives around the world.
