A Day out at the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta

I am currently on a mission to go to a balloon festival. Previously, on a whim, we went to the Sussex Balloon & Action show, which advertised hot air balloons appearing there. As it turned out, the weather wasn’t good enough, and only four hot air balloons were there total, with only three tethering while we were attending, and another staying deflated on the ground. When at this air show, I was told the better hot air balloon festival was the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta.

A Day Out at Horrible Histories Terrible Tudors

We are on a mission to go to every Horrible Histories live show. We’ve been to the car drive-ins, we have been to the river Thames boat tour, so it felt like this summer was time to go to the stage show at Garrick theatre. Horrible Histories Terrible Tudors is an hour long stage show that follows the history of the Tudors, played completely by two actors, who are costume switching and being quite playful with the audience.

Factopia fills a child with curious knowledge

[Ad- gifted product] I feel like every child goes through a phase of wanting to know everything and trying to find facts they can memorise so that they can then show it off to their friends. This sort of curiosity is one that often leads to lots of questions being asked. Not everything children read on the internet is true, and it’s often hard to go from one place to another, so when I saw Factopia, I felt that it was a good alternative which connects a bunch of different facts together in a way that makes them easier to understand.

Newton’s Lab Wind Energy Kit keeps teens busy

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to keeping Kai, the basically teenager, busy during the summer holiday, he often does not want to play with any games or toys his younger siblings have. Maybe it’s an age thing, maybe it’s a being a boy thing, but either way, he’s a bit tricky to find things for him to do. With that said, Kai really loves science kits! A new, and more challenging science kit then he has previously come across has now made it’s way into our post box, called Newton’s Lab. We got the Newton’s Lab Wind Energy Kit, which has you creating a little house that lights up using wind power.
