More progress. This week was comets for one school, climate change for another and for one more, black holes. All three classes were great and it is fantastic to see Burnley endowed with such talented students. There are definitely good times ahead for these students.
Today I began another series in another series of sessions in a new school. I cycled to this one and disaster struck when my chain snapped. I was so relieved that Laura was able to rescue me. I arrived on time fortunately and all was well. In this session there were almost twenty students plus two parents. I am always very pleased when I see children and parents learning together. That is a rewarding thing for Beauty In The Universe. This was another great school, and I think we will do well for the students there.
Did you know that the recent Earthquake in Chile slowed the Earth's rotation by 0.126 milliseconds?

I wish I had the words to express how much it irritated me to see my hometown, and by definition, my children written off in that way. I decided to adapt a video I was making in to some sort of response to this. I am sick to death of Burnley being the UK whipping boy, and I am fed up of the place being a symbolic representation of all that is bad about our country. We have the highest BNP vote and the lowest level of education. This cannot be a simple coincidence. This is what Beauty in the Universe is all about. We are going to make a change in this town.
