Day 2: Science Museum

Today has been another fantastic day, all the children involved in activity week have had an excellent day at the Science Museum, in South Kensington.

We can't wait to get there.



Are we nearly there yet!

Q: What are you looking forward to seeing at the Science Museum?




All the groups behaved exceptionally well and thoroughly enjoyed the Explosive Science Show'. Check out some of the explosions that we enjoyed.






The interactive Launch Pad where they built bridges, experienced forces at work, bubble making, wind power, how light works, thermal imaging and muh, much more. Take a look at the photos to see just how much children enjoyed the hands on, discovery Science.

Thermal Imaging- What strange things we bagan to see!!


Could you build a bridge?


We did it!!



The children also loved seeing the Secret Life of the Home exhibition, where they got to see household items through the decades: washing machines, radios, videos recorders, computers, microwaves, alarms, hair dryers, vacuum cleaners etc the children couldn't believe how technologies have changed. Following this one of the highlights of the trip was visiting the shop.


During the afternoon the children enjoyed a further trip to the Natural History Museum, where we travelled through the centre of the earth and into an exhibit where we learnt about the effects and causes of volcanoes. Following this we experienced the effects of the Kobe earthquake in the shop, where we were taken through the phases of an earthquake. It was amazing! We then entered the dinosaur area and couldn't believe the size of some of the animals.


Ahhhh!



Another fantastic day!!
