Some of you may know my mum is a teacher, she is now the head of the upper school and teaches Maths at SPS (my school when I was little) but when I was growing up she was head of science. I loved science when I was young and I was even known to win […]

Have you heard of Push up Pops? I posted a blog last week on the Book Candy Making for kids by Courtney Dial Whitmore. Well this is her latest book and her twitter and facebook feeds are where I head about Push up Pops, although I have no idea where they started. They look […]
