Year 5 enjoyed a great sleepover at the Science Museum.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can see from the pictures below it was a busy night.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Activities based on the theme of "Space" went on until 11.30pm!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The evening started with a welcome talk where we also met our group leader Ellie.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The staff sleepover team were set and ready to go!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once the talk was over, we were off to our first activity.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We quickly moved through the museum to our first Space session!
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first activity was about the planets and preparing for a rocket launch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We shared the events with other schools, especially one called Essendine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Walker children....and staff.....were constantly chosen to lead activities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Always keen and eager to take part Walker children were bright and alert!
|
|
|
|
|
|
The behaviour during the evening was excellent. All the children listened well.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We had to make rockets ready for launching.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each group worked collaboratively to make 20 rockets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The rockets were competed in time and the competition started.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The children worked really well together.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ellie, our group leader, was great fun.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Walker staff called out the winning scores.
|
|

|
Once we'd eaten we were off to the second activity.
|
|
|
|
|
|
"All about me". This activity looked at the human body.
|
|

They had to taste something........

.......and they did so happily.

The children worked in the About Me gallery.
