I am truly sorry that I cannot blog more in the hols, however this was a day out early on in the break....
Although this was not actually on our list of places to visit this holiday when it was suggested by O and I looked it up it seemed ideal....educational, fun and not too expensive at only £25 for a family of 4.
So off we went.....they had loads of small activities all along a large corridor that taught you about different aspects of science and the world.
Here the boys are trying to build shapes other than pyramids to see how easily crystals are formed...
Here is the Diva learning a bit about each of the different planets....I had to do a lot of the reading for her but she managed to pick out a few words.
Outside was just as fun and interactive...this is the playground where the children can find out how to space bells apart so that they ring at an even time when the ball goes down the slope...
Making a 'rope' out of metal by twisting it up.
Making noise down this huge pipe and it echoes back to you!
And there were so many other outside bits including an interactive water feature or two.
Back inside and they found out about how buildings collapse in an earthquake.
Then into the light and colour section to find out about how the 'lightening'follows your hand around on the board....
and this globe....
and how the colours join and can be made into white light again too....
Again another fantastic day out with lots to keep them busy and fun things to learn about.
