Happy New Year to everyone – wherever you are! I hope that it was an enjoyable rest for you.

Here in the UK Christmas really does feel over and done with. School has started and the holiday seems a long way away. Last night we took down our Christmas tree and realised that we still had a large number of uneaten candy canes. This posed me with a dilemma…..

…. give the children even more sugary sweet substances (as if they haven’t had enough), throw them away (seems a little wasteful) or bring them into school and cheer the students up with some Chemistry?

I think I know what I will do! :mrgreen:
