Winchester Science Centre

To begin with, Winchester Science Centre was a really fun place to go to. We went there with Mr Scullin who is normally our gymnastics teacher. When we arrived at the Centre we sorted out our groups and my group captain was Naimah. The group captain was in charge of keeping their group together.

First of all, we went to the planetarium and we learnt a lot about the sun and the stars. Did you know that the sun’s core is 15 million degrees? Also we learnt that the stars make shapes and one of them is called the big dipper. We also did an activity about night time and  the daytime.
                                                                        
After the planetarium, we were allowed to explore the lower half of Winchester Science Centre. Firstly, what we did was the barcode scanning. The barcode scanning almost felt like we were shopkeepers. What we had to do was scan lots of objects. We only got 8 out of 10 right. The next thing we did was a temperature scanning machine. You had to stand in front of it and it would scan your temperature. Luckily half of our body was hot and half was cold.

As you may already know, after the lower half we went to the top half. The first thing that we did was the Mind-ball game. In the Mind-ball game, we have to get the ball from one side to the other using our mind; that was our favourite game.

We also spent a lot of our time on the race track, which timed how fast you could run.

In conclusion, in Winchester Science Centre, we went to four different sections and we had lots of fun. We are very lucky in Springhill as we get to go to Winchester Science Centre every year!
