Willow Class had an amazing time exploring all of the interactive science exhibits at Herstmonceux Science Centre on Wednesday. We were so fortunate that the weather was glorious and allowed us to discover the site to its fullest!<\/p>\n

We were able to get hands-on with all of the exhibits and had enough time to fully investigate the different areas – both inside and out!<\/p>\n

The giant Archimedes Screw was a firm favourite for the children. They enjoyed working as a team to lift the ball by turning the Archimedes Screw so that the ball would rise to the top!<\/p>\n

Willow children then displayed their awesome teamwork skills by building two different bridges and were able to walk across the truss bridge they had built.<\/p>\n

All of the children enjoyed the practicality \u2018hands on\u2019 aspect of the day, and when Logan was asked what his favourite part of the trip had been, he replied \u201cEverything!\u201d [High Praise!]<\/p>\n

It was great to see and be with some of the other Year 3 & 4 classes of The Pioneer Federation. A special thanks must go to out fabulous parent helpers Mrs Waine and Mrs Cox.<\/p>\n
