Monday the 20th of August

It’s been a day for all things Science here at The Holiday Scheme.

In the morning, we made papier mache mountains and quirky red solutions for one of our experiments. It turns out, sometimes kitchen volcanoes erupt and sometimes they just stay sleeping. In any case, the children witnessed the effects of baking soda and vinegar on their paper creations.

Later on, we headed over to the visiting planetarium, with its own real expert, Mark. Under a blow-up dome, he showed us the night-time sky, complete with planets and stars. Boys and girls were fascinated by the constellations and the ancient Greek myths around them, and the spinning Earth, Sun and Moon sent their heads spinning a few times too.

After the Planetarium, we did crafts and played Mini-beast Hunting outside, before settling down for Free Play. Pretty tired but happy too, with the new friends we met and things we learnt. Signing off till tomorrow.

With best wishes,

The Holiday Scheme Team
