A big thank you to The Lookout in Bracknell for a fantastic Year 2 trip. The children loved exploring, investigating and having fun with science, technology, engineering, art and maths.
When the children arrived, they were greeted by their host Jaya. They were talked through all of the safety rules and first explored the woodland and water area. They created their own whirlpools, music with the tubes and discovered how dams worked. Then it was time for the ‘Fire and Light Show.’ The children discussed what a light source is and what is not – Did you know that a jellyfish is a light source? They then made shadows and talked about natural versus artificial light sources. They were shown how to make fire using chemicals and how to put fire out by using bicarbonate soda and vinegar. Don’t worry parents – the Year 2 children were told not to try these at home!
Once they had refuelled at lunch, they went to explore the light and colour room, ventured up the tower, built houses and explored the main exhibit. What an incredibly busy, but extremely fun day!
