Popcatlot says, "dear people atv show me,i loved the games about teeth you had on the games part of the site. what website are they on, can you please put them back on your website?" That would be Mouth Power - a fun site about the health, history and biology of teeth, from the National Museum of Dentistry in America - you can still find it on our Games and Fun page.

Georgia asks, "CAN YOU GET ME A EASY MOSAIC PLEASE."
We think Georgia would enjoy making her own Roman mosaic in the Murals and Mosaics game from Tyne and Wear Museums.

Well, lots of people had different opinions about Henry VIII, but there's no denying that he wasn't very nice to people he didn't like - including some of his six wives!

"Dear show me,
I have a small complaint to make.
I have recently noticed you have taken a game off which was one of my faves. it was one with some birds and seals and puffins. please bring it back.
yours sincerly abbey"

Hi Abbey - yes, we loved Tammie The Puffin's Watery World too! Tammie's taking a bit of a holiday while our friends at the Scottish Seabird Centre give their website a makeover - but we'll have her back for you as soon as possible. Meanwhile, take a look at the Seabird Centre's amazing webcams . See if you can spot gannets, puffins, guillemots or even fluffy white newborn seals.

amr has been trying out our arty make and do Marbling Paper Patterns - How To Do It:
"Been using the marbling paint, but not very successfully, what am I doing wrong? Tha paint seems to gather into lumps when I try to move it around into patterns. Also can I use any kind of paper, or do some work better than others? Help!"
|
|
|
|
|
One thing to check is that there isn't any 'skin' on top of the special marbling ink - sometimes it can form inside the bottle before use or in between uses.
|
|
|
|
It's also a good idea to give the bottle a good shake (with the lid on of course!) before using it. Experiment with different types of paper - some work better than others. We got good results with printer paper and brown parcel paper but using tissue paper was disastrous - we ended up with a soggy mess!

Some of you have written to us to say that you are being bullied.
Being bullied feels really awful, it's a horrible thing to go through. We're happy you're telling us about how you feel and what's going on in your lives and are so sorry we can't talk to you directly. © Childline

|
|
|
|
There are some great websites out there which can give you support and advice though. Have a look at the Anti-Bullying site or Childline's Just4U for starters, they're both fantastic.
