Our Trip to 'At Bristol' 20/2/12
We had a brilliant day out on Monday and have written recounts about it. Here are some of them and some quotes from others.
'I really liked playing with the rocket. I liked it when it went really high.' Molly N
'My favourite part was the mirrors because they made me laugh.' Sydney
At ‘At Bristol’ we went to a workshop to learn about light and shadow. She showed us a trick where we had to pull a funny face behind opaque glass, somehow she made it see through, it was amazing.
After the workshop we went to investigate all the science, there were bodies and investigations. It was so fun! It was one of the best trips ever. There were hamster wheels that controlled the water buckets in the water tank. My favourite part was the bubble sheet, you dip a long metal pole in liquid and pull it out and get your very own bubble sheet.
There was a leaning room and mirrors that made us small. Downstairs there was a build your own rocket and make it fly activity and a hot air balloon. Elyse
I went with Joshie on the coach. It took an hour to get there but it was worth it, it was amazing when we got there. First we went for a lesson about shadows and light. It took an hour too. Then we had lunch. Then we were allowed to use all of the science things such as a giant hamster wheel that powered a water wheel, seeing how a rocket comes down to earth and seeing what it feels like to film news. The giant hamster wheel was massive. Jim
On Monday we went to At Bristol. The first thing we saw was Alice showing us a bit of fogged up glass. But when she pressed a button, you could see through the glass. After that we went into a dark room where the lights were dangling above our heads. My favourite bit was launching the rockets. Otto
When we arrived at ‘At Bristol’ we put our stuff away and went to our workshop. It was about light and shadows. We found out lots of facts like which colour shows up the most, how glow sticks work, we learned some new words, these were transparent, translucent and opaque. We got to use rainbow glasses.
After lunch we got into our groups and went off to explore the museum. I liked the hamster wheel for humans. It was harder than it looked. I liked the three mirrors. One made us have a really long neck and our legs were tiny. One made us look really fat!! One made us look normal. I also liked the leaning room where everything was leaning and I felt really dizzy coming out. Last night when I went to bed I still felt dizzy!
I really enjoyed my trip to Bristol. I hope I can go again soon. Molly R

On Monday we went to At Bristol. When we got there we went to a workshop. There was some glass and Alice kept picking people to do faces behind the glass. But you couldn’t see it at first until she turned a light on and then you could see the funny faces.
After that we had lunch then we went into our groups although we didn’t really stay with our groups, we explored with our friends. We went upstairs first and there was a big screen on the floor which was the river and there was pretend fish swimming in the water and you could step on the screen and scare the fish away. My favourite part was when we went into the TV. Studio and I did the news. Then we went downstairs, there was lots of machines that you had to scan. I did one where you jumped and it showed you do it in slow motion and you went really high. Iona
'Upstairs I went on ‘Animate it’ and made a clip with Alec and Thomas. The clip was called ‘Angry Horse’, it was about a boy who tried (but failed) to get on a horse and the horse chucked the boy off. After that I put some music and sound to our clip.' Joshua R
Well done this week to Elyse for gettig her provisional pen licence and Iona for being worker of the week.
