Nigel got to school yesterday, fully expecting to read, only to find a humongous "Explorer" dome had been erected in the school hall .........
........ which, for him, was almost too exciting for words ........
...... especially when Mr Hunt, his teacher for the day ..........
....... asked if, instead of said planned reading for the morning .........
........ Nigel would, instead, like to join the little ones in exploring the very start of the universe.
Well, the little fella didn't need asking twice, much as he loved listening to his beloved readers, he also didn't really want to be a stranger to the pleasures of the dome, even if it did mean having to get down on his hands and knees and crawl in order to enter it's mysterious innermost sanctum.
Let's just say, despite his efforts to get in, it did not disappoint.
With Nigel even putting his hand up to answer a few of the questions, but perhaps due to his diminutive size, it might not have been that visible, especially in the dark, bless his little cotton socks!
And the best bit, before it was time to resume his reading duties?
...... which now has him wondering where he can get his little mitts on some dry ice himself, to inject a little awe and wonder to our next I and B sleepover, not to mention, worry you know who upstairs .......... what on earth is he like? (Nigel, not you know who!)

What a superb thing to have visit your school! Being small, at least Nigel wouldn't have to crawl as much as any bigger people.
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. When it warms up, it doesn't melt, but it changes directly to a gas - this is called sublimation. Here endeth today's Chemistry lesson.
Maybe TtS can get a hold of some dry ice. There is a method for making it using a loosely woven bag and a certain type of fire extinguisher.
How exciting to included, might be safer if Nigel didn’t start his own special effects with dry ice though.

They didn't have things like that in my school days! How exciting for young Nige and children. JantheFan x
