Flu

It wasn't just a cold, Jigglepuff has got the flu. So the boys are having to look after themselves this week.
Today we sat on the sofa for half an hour and watched FACTOMANIA which was brilliant - it showed us how a car's combustion engine had 50 explosions per second, and how the explosions made the wheels go around. They told us about some seventeenth-century scientist who worked out the mass of the entire earth. Charizard pointed out how silly it would be to try to go to the sun to work out what it weighed. Then the programme also showed us how a golf ball would float in salty water rather than tap water, because the salt made the water denser. We went straight into the kitchen afterwards and tried the same experiment. It worked with salty water and pumpkin.

Then Charizard did the Pre-Test for the Khan Academy, which gave him 1000 points and his first Khan badge, well done Charizard! Meanwhile Chuggington, who is still off school with a poorly tummy, did some really good work on Spelling BigIQKids. Charizard is going to do some Time4Learning tonight.

Apparently Jigglepuff has spent some time reading the Horrible Histories annual.

Jigglepuff's favourite bit of the day was...being in bed.
