Fun-Believable Science will provide 6 science-based shows for children aged 4-12. Each programme will be 8-10 minutes in length and is designed as a “laugh and learn” project. Children will see experiments set up and then guess the outcome. The show is hosted by Jeff Keough, who performs as Dr. Brain. Jeff has been a fulltime entertainer since 1987 and deconstructs his circus skills to explain the science behind the tricks. The demonstrations have a “wow” factor that will engage children of all ages.
We hope you enjoy the shows!

Let’s share the love and showcase what makes your community special!
What I love about my community is I moved in to my home in 2021 , I barely turned 23 years old that year , it was our first home starting out life with my child was such a big step although I felt anxious moving in first everything fell into place. A lot of my neighbours were a lot older than me they even had kids older than myself but as months past by, I’ve made friends for life although there might be an age difference I’ve never felt any different and always felt included I can always call to my neighbour for help , advice & even just to chat ! Not to mention names but to find a neighbour you can depend on and that will always look out for you is a blessing ?? I also have to mention about Daniel , whom has been there to support us from day one he has been the absolute best help to me and my family and our community in every way possible. No matter what the problem Daniel was always happy to help and was always so kind and very quick at resolving the issue. I’ve always felt I could discuss any matter with him he always listened and done everything he could to help me. He has always been a gentle kind & understanding person that you could look up to. I can’t thank him enough for all he has done for us and the neighbourhood. It’s a safe place once again. I’d also like to show how much I appreciate Morgan who is the most kindest soul , he works so hard in our community for everyone. He always has the place immaculate. He always tries his best to support and help us all in every way. No matter what the task usually Morgan can always fix it he’s an absolute pleasure to have around! Always happy and smiling. What a gentleman. I don’t want to make it too long but I’m not forgetting the lovely Gemma who’s always happy to help in repairs and always sounds so positive, Catherine who sorts all our rent queries and is excellent at helping out everyone, John for all our plumbing & maintenance needs very understanding , Bethany was always so understanding and we used to have the great laugh at events hope she’s doing ok, I’m sorry to say I can’t remember the gentleman’s name but he done the annual house inspection he was absolutely so kind and very friendly also. ( sorry to the ones I didn’t mention I must not have met them yet).
So to all at Torc thank you so much for all your support over the past 3 years and for keeping us and our children safe within our community.
