Whilst on their journey inside the human body Connie, Uncle Chris and her lovely customers have been caught by the immune system and taken to the lymph node for investigation! 🩻

‘It looks like we’ve arrived everyone…this lymph node really does look like a jail…’

Once they are scanned by some strange little t-cells, Connie gets involved in making anti bodies with the body’s defence system - the B-cells! 🪖

Running out of time to escape the body before they grow to full size again, Connie and her crew need a plan to escape! Will they take the nose? Or risk it in the digestive system?

Either way it’s going to be a blast! Join in with us at home too adventurers - in part 2 of, A Record-Breaking Vaccination Adventure!

Uncle Chris needs Connie's help to break a world record, but she needs to study for a test on vaccinations! 🌎🥇

"No, stop everyone! No record-breaking burps! I’m really sorry Uncle Chris, but I’ve just been trying to tell you I can’t break a record today!"

To try and do both, Connie and her customers go on a journey of the imagination to Dr Rachel’s super-secret lab to learn all about vaccines and how they work inside our bodies. 💉🩻

But while in the lab, Uncle Chris shrinks down by accident and ends up entering the human body alongside a vaccine! With the shrink ray only lasting one hour, can Connie and her customers shrink down too and follow him inside!

Will they get out in time? Will they get attacked by germs or the immune system itself! 🦠🦠

Join us on a Record-Breaking Vaccination Adventure to find out!

Connie has to make a last minute presentation at school on the themes of Shakespeare’s magical and mischievous play, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and she has no idea where to start! Luckily, her Uncle Chris and the community theatre company are experts on Shakespeare, so they decide to go on an Armchair Adventure into the world of the play to find out more. 🎭

There, they’re met by characters from the play, including Puck and their fairy friends🧚 🧚including King and Queen of the fairies, Oberon and Titania. The adventurers find much mischief and mayhem as the fairies’ magic turns the world of A Midsummer Night’s Dream upside down – a man has even had his head turned into a donkey’s! 🪄🫏

But will they find everything that Connie needs in time for her to make her presentation? And will Shakespeare’s play have a happy ending, or will everything remain topsy-turvy?

Join us as we land in the world of A Midsummer Night’s Dream for fairy tricks, magical love potions and lovers loving the wrong people! ❤️😍❤️

Connie and the gang are back in Ancient Egypt 🌅🐫 – and this time, they have a mission 💪

Their meeting with Hatshepsut, the first woman to rule Egypt as a Pharoah – didn’t go to plan… The gang found Hatshepsut down in the dumps – convinced that one day everything she’d achieved would be forgotten. 

Can the gang prove to Hatshepsut that her legacy will live on? It will take some sneaky hieroglyphs, plenty of time travel and a history lesson like no other! ⏳🎶
