Sunflower came up to me last night because she had read something and wanted to know if it is true - in the story Lady Grace is a young Maid-of-Honour to Queen Elizabeth and she keeps a daybook (like a diary), she comments that she wanted to write in seville orange juice so her writing would remain secret - apparently it only shows once heated.
Cue today science lesson, totally unprepared as I have no seville oranges but couldn't miss a chance like this.
I juiced a clementine and set the girls to writing
once we had left the juice to dry naturally,
After that they had to try various heat methods - candle heat, radiator, hair dryer and stove top (some worked and some didn't). Personally I think it was just a good excuse to do some more drawing in juice : )
