Connie’s decorating the art party at school and our lovely customer Pauline is looking for some creative inspiration! Seeing that Connie’s ordering a lot of single-use plastic for the event, Pauline takes them on an Armchair Adventure to Plastic Shed to learn more about plastic waste while they get a bit arty! ♻️🎨

“There is this amazing arts organisation called Plastic Shed I’d like to visit. It’s run by an artist called Caitlin, and shemakes art using recycled plastic.”

When they arrive, they see a beautiful mural showing what plastic waste does to the environment- there’s a sea turtle trapped in plastic, a polar bear on melting ice, and a hermit crab having to use a traffic cone as a shell!🐢🐻‍❄️🐚

Caitlin left us a note saying it was set to be dismantled, so while we waited to meet her, the gang decided to go on an adventure inside the mural and meet the animals and hear their stories! The only problem is, Caitlin came back early...and started taking apart the Mural with everyone still inside! 😬

Will they get to meet all the animals before it's too late? Will Connie and her customers end up taken apart too!! Join us for a fun-packed, arty adventure at Plastic Shed to find out! 🎧 🎶

Our next episode will be out on 22nd May 😀

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!
