On September 23, years 7 and 8 visited the hands-on science centre @Bristol. They explored and interacted with numerous science exhibits, as well as visiting the planaterium. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the visit, which was characterised by the concept of learning through ‘play’: @Bristol is a very special place, and really brings Science to life. Here are some of the comments made by the students:
Cole reports that ‘the journey was long, but luckily she had her friends to joke around with.’
Meelie says that ‘as soon as she walked into the building, she heard people already going wow.’ She would definitely go again and thought it was an amazing trip.
Anand was excited as he arrived at Bristol and ‘was rushing to get inside and use the amazing scientific equipment.’
James found that ‘the first thing most people went to was the water works. Here there were a series of handles, levers, cogs and tanks which played a vital part in keeping the water moving. If you didn’t, the big tank at the top overflowed. This was one of my favourite parts.’
Jesse says she really enjoyed it and particularly ‘liked the TV studio where you did some filming. Someone acted and other people were on the stage changing the background, adding music and writing captions. I also liked the mini tornado. You could walk through a tornado without getting blown away.’
Cassandra can recommend the ‘comfy seats in the Planetarium.’
Joseph thought that ‘the only problem was time. It would have been perfect if we were there for another 48 hours.’
And – neatly summing up a most successful trip – Katie simply tells us that she ‘had a fantastic time.’
