We Made A Roman Shield

Last weekend's homework for my youngest was to make a Roman Shield. After a short  google image search Ryan came up with his design and drew it out. I added the larger version onto card and away he went painting it how he wanted it. He took it to school at the end of the week, and I think it went down well 👍

Original Design

We grew some crystals

Ryan got a crystal set for Christmas. We have tried before to get results but have always failed...
 This time I was determined to get something. It did say you could see them within 2 days, though ours took 2 weeks to get this size of Emerald Green Crystal
 They do look cool under the microscope.

STAR CONTROL ORIGINS - FIRST BUILD

I picked up Star Control Origins about two months ago while still in very early access and at a very low price (£17). I believe I played the original all those years ago on a friends pc. At the time it really wasn't for me as a game, but as I have gotten older it's right on point. I just love games you can invest time in, and come back again and again.
