Strange news story – Toy dog in Space
Here is a pretty cool science lesson that ended up making national news (click on images for more information). Some children in Lancashire sent a toy dog, Sam, into space attached to a helium balloon and a camera. Unfortunately, although they got some great photos, Sam ended up on an unexpected adventure when he became detached from the camera and the balloon; he is now missing in action! Keep your eyes open for a space-dog!
See the whole of Sam’s journey here in video from Morecambe Bay Primary School.

Shakespeare visit
Here are a few more pictures from our visit to Stratford just before the holiday. Some more are on the school website in the calendar of the year. 
These images are from inside the house where Shakespeare was born.
We saw the glove workshop where his father made gloves and found out how the leather was prepared… in a very smelly way!
We also had time to visit the RSC theatre and look at some costumes. This one is from an actual production of Midsummer Night’s Dream. We thought it was interesting that the costume designer chose to use leather gloves in this way.

CERN – Large Hadron Collider
Some of you were asking about the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN (on the Swiss-French border). It is an amazing international science research project that is hoping to understand the origins of the universe and what exactly happened in the ‘Big Bang’. This site includes film clips, information and games that will help you to find out more about what they do, how the LHC works and why it is so interesting.

Shakespeare’s grave disturbed!
After our visit to Stratford, you may be interested in this news. Apparently, researchers have scanned his grave using radar that goes through the ground (so that they don’t need to dig anything up) and have made some rather strange discoveries. It seems that Shakespeare wasn’t buried as deeply as they thought and it looks like his grave has been disturbed… Maybe his ‘curse’ didn’t stop grave robbers in the 18th or 19th centuries?!
Click on the image to find out more from the BBC about the investigation and what they think they have found out…
