Send us your artwork, poems and stories

13 year old Sean has sent us his 'out of this world' poem about space:

To Space
The engine ignites
creating intense flames
so bright their appearance turns white
clamped to my chair
my cabin quakes
my insides shake

upon this thundering flight
i feel as if moving at the speed of light

our altitude increases
my nerves begin shaking
my mind begins deteriorating

suddenly as if time has stopped
my shuttle's speed quickly drops

i inhale, air is blown into my lungs
my heart beats like a steady drum
my emotions stop their dramatic run
my trip into space is quickly done

Tudors, Victorians...it's all on Show Me
Lots of you get in touch to say how much you like travelling back in time with the museum games and discovering more about the past for your school work.

Charlene said she and her friend Georgia "just wanted to say Anglo saxon treasure ROCKS!!! Have you seen the Hoard yet?"

(The answer is yes - we made a trip to the British Museum to see some of the treasure - has anyone seen it in Birmingham?)

Chloe Mathues likes the Egyptian games and Jasmine wanted some Roman things to look at. Samy asked about Tudor clothing - so we're getting something together about that for Show Me - watch this space. Libby wanted some more Tudor games. Libby - as soon as museums tell us they've made a new game, we make sure it gets on Show Me for you. Chantelle Goodwin is loving her Tudor topic work at school - glad to hear it. Ryan emailed to say he loves "learning about the tudors because you find out about loads of interesting stuff and about the 6 wives i love it."

Here are some Show Me links for you:

Veronica got in touch to say, "I have really, really long holidays.(9 weeks!) We broke-up way back on June 4th so by now I am very bored. Its another rainy, misreable day and I just can't think what to do. I know that I want to make something but I really don't know what. I came onto this website and I found out how to do Marble Painting and lots more so know I am not just stuck inside on the computer all day, because I can do Marble Painting and more!"
