Bingo and Soap Carving

We started the meeting off with a few exiting rounds of bingo! Ratty’s favourite number name being ‘fat lady with a cane’. After this, we relaxed with a satisfying activity of soap carving. Our challenge was to carve out a symbol that you’d find on a map and to guess what others had made.

Magic Show!

This week we were joined by a member of The Magic Circle who performed a show for us! In one trick he read minds, guessing words people were thinking of and names of films. In another, he turned a glass full of water upside down without anything spilling. When Sophie tried it over Scully’s head... it did not work! 
He also revealed how to do a couple of magic tricks with cards, which we all tried out at home.

Escape the Internet

This week we took on the task of finding ‘Mr X’! Using clues, we searched the internet and scoured the streets on Google maps to piece together information to solve the puzzle and uncode Mr X’s last name...
