Silly question - we all love LEGO! But some love it more than others and Gwen is one of those children that fell for it the moment they clicked their first two DUPLO bricks together.
Another life-long fan is this week's guest, Rob. Not only does he still love playing with these magical little building bricks but he actually works with them AND he has his very own minifigure!
You can imagine how excited Gwen was to ask him all her questions about what he gets up to all day long and to play a game of 'guess the LEGO collection'. Join in to see if you can beat him.

The Video Game Design Trainer
Welcome back to a new term of Gwen Gets To Work! We start the new term as we did the last, with a teacher of sorts. Gwen's uncle trains (mostly) young people at University in how to create the characters and environments that you find in video games.
They had a good chat about different types of video games, which video games they like to play themselves, and about their shared love of stop animation.
If you are interested in learning to code the trainer recommends Scratch and Minecraft, and if you want to get more hands on, maybe a Micro:bit from Technology Will Save Us.

200ml warm water
Mix
Knead until smooth
Rest it for a bit
Mould into shapes / roll out and cut with cookie cutter
Put in boiling water
Add sauce!

The Beekeeper
Bzzzzzz! Is there such a thing as a King Bee? And why are those honey bees hanging off each other in a long chain?! Gwen got to work on one of the hottest days of the year, interviewing a Beekeeper about what she does all day at work.
Check out the video of Gwen's Beekeeping adventure on YouTube. You can see for yourself, take a look at the hives, spot the Queen Bee pottering about and laying her eggs! And watch how the honey is spun off the 'supers'.
The hives that Gwen visited belong to the Beekeeper herself and also Orwells, a super tasty restaurant not far from the hives. You can check out their Instagram or Facebook to see what they've been up to during the lockdown.
You can buy the delicious Henley Honey from them, or from Gabriel Machin butchers and if you go to our Instagram or Facebook before the end of July 2020 you can try and win a jar of the honey that Jemima extracted that day and we will post it to you!

The President of Trinidad and Tobago
A *V*ery *I*mportant *G*uest in this week's episode! Her Excellency, Paula-Mae Weekes, is the 6th and current President of Trinidad and Tobago and the country's first female Head of State since Trinidad and Tobago gained its independence from Great Britain in 1962.
It was a dream to get the chance to speak to her, as you will hear in this special, and rather unusual, episode of Gwen Gets To Work.
You can read the transcript of her maiden speech on the T&T Government Website. It is very inspiring.
