A rare event! Mr. Wood’s bus arrived before Mrs. Owen’s, due to Mike Slator’s detailed navigational skills; something Mr. Wood lacks! There were also no sore bums this time from John or Mr. Wood.
On arrival, walking through the double doors, perception of a boring science museum was transformed! So many buttons to press, and screens to touch.
We all raced up to the top floor in the transparent lift, only to find it was shut, but there was an expansive view across the Mersey.
Unfortunately the ferry wasn’t there so we couldn’t escape.
On discovery of the top floor being closed, we raced back down to the ground floor, except for Laura Robertson (dippy Laura), who got lost on the first floor. We then headed back to the science playground (designed for 7-10 year olds). Suited us fine then!
Anna Jesse took great pleasure in getting unsuspecting victims to try the separation of Water into Hydrogen and Oxygen. What she didn’t tell them was that it exploded with a loud bang! What fun, she thought!
Back to Laura, still lost on the first floor in a maze of scientific history and knowledge. We all joined her to find out that Laura Ellis still has problems with modern technology, i.e., the touch screen of a computer.
Becky Evans stunned us with her scientific knowledge, scoring 2 out of 10 on a science quiz! Giving Mr. Wright’s A-Level Chemistry students a run for their money in the intelligence stakes!
At 5pm the staff had had enough of twenty four 17 going on 6 year olds, and Mrs. Owen had cleared the gift shop, it was then time to leave. We all had a great afternoon, and one or two of us may have learnt something.
Who said 6th formers had to act mature?
