Schools, Schools, everywhere

The work that Abbey Juniors sent to my office at the University was great apparently - there were some really fantastic pieces of research e-mailed to me as well. Even more exciting is the fact that I've had e-mails from a couple of other schools too. Thanks to Miss Boddington and her class at Park school and also to Mr. Bullock at Highfields school.

Now that I have a few schools on board it would be great if you could send me some really interesting questions - things that you can't easily find the answer to by looking on Google. I'll try to answer the most interesting question each week.

My reaction to the spider bite seems to have died down now, though there is still a small amount of swelling. Fortunately, it looks like I wasn't bitten by a record breaking - worlds most venomous spider - The Brazilian Wandering Spider, but by something less harmful: I reckon it was a small Tarantula. Other good news is that I'm out of the flood waters now - my boots have just about dried out, but my feet still look a bit shriveled and wrinkled.
