📮 Blunt News: Supporting Youth to bake, create and connect

We’re delighted to share how The Blunt Family Charity is continuing to support young people in our community.
In October, the Trustees have approved an award for the Upwell & Outwell Youth Club.
Run entirely by dedicated local volunteers for local children, they have built a safe, welcoming and vibrant environment where the children can:
• engage and learn things like baking and crafting.
• Build lasting friendships with other kids in the area
• Have fun in a positive and supportive space.
We want to wish the leaders and members of the Upwell & Outwell Youth Club every success. We hope this funding helps your hard work blossom into even more exciting opportunities for growth.
Got a community project of your own?
We’re delighted to support initiatives that encourage young people to develop skills and connect with others.
If you have an idea that needs a helping hand, why not apply today?

Applications can be from an individual or organisation. Edith Blunt specified that applicants must live or be based in Upwell.

🎃 Halloween? Not for us… it’s Edith Blunt’s birthday! 🎂🌸
While everyone else is thinking about pumpkins, witches and trick-or-treating, here in Upwell we have another reason to celebrate…
Edith Blunt was born in Upwell on this day. ❤️
Edith loved her flowers 🌷🌹 and was especially fond of her brother James — although, as everyone seems to have called him, Jim!
And there is so much more to discover about Edith, James her family and her life in Upwell.
📖 We’re putting together a series of posts telling their story, so keep an eye on our page over the coming weeks.
But today, let’s simply remember a remarkable local lady who left her entire estate for the benefit of the people of Upwell.

🎂 Happy Birthday, Edith — and thank you! 💚

If you thought Science Tigers was just for young children, think again:

All children get access to the same information, but I start with the basics and build up - I let them know when the content gets more complex and what is useful for teens to know for GCSE level.

Differentiating the concept of light for different ages:

💥 Little ones - light is energy that can travel from one place to another

💥 Bigger ones - light energy is on a continuous spectrum from high energy gamma rays to low energy radio waves, with the visible light that humans can see in between.

💥 Teens - light is 'electromagnetic radiation' - as it travels it produces a changing electric field which creates a changing magnetic field which in turn produces a changing electric field - i.e. it is self-propagating.

The little quiz at the end has some funny alternative answers to help remember big words:

What is light? is it:

*Lego-static instrumentation?
*Donut-tastic digestion?
*Eletromagnetic radiation?

Join us on Mondays in Upwell and Stow Bridge on Wednesdays. Book your places at:

🐘 Thank you to my fabulous friend Lily, from Wild Minds Tutoring who runs fantastic sessions about animals, for the quiz idea! 🐧
