Year Five went to the space centre in Leicester on Friday to learn more
about space. As we boarded the long dreaded trip on the coach I got very
excited and started to do some doodles.When we arrived we saw what
looked like a giant, grey, blown up egg but, it was actually made out of
plastic. When we entered I had already learnt something... what the
space centre looked like!
Firstly we watched a short film about being a spaceman and what you had
to do like Excersising two and a half hours a day to not loose muscle. I
felt very sorry for “Chad” he got tested on for all of the experiments.
Next, we walked up some stairs and there were three floors and I
enjoyed the second floor the most with the tiny space rocket over all
there were one hundred and forty four stairs.
Then we came down in the lift , got our bags, and had our lunch. (I was
starving.) I had a school lunch with two tuna sandwiches, some popcorn,
a banana, a cookie and a carton of orange juice.
After that, we were aloud to go where ever we wanted (In a certain area)
I found a dark room with some stars in a cabinet, it was very
interesting.
Then we all got called in to board the coach again for the long, boring, dreaded journey.
I loved the space man video , it sometimes went above you which was
different to any other film I had seen. The worst bit was the long ,
dreaded , coach journey. In the future I would bring drawing paper and
drawing pens to help pass the time.
Thank you Crosshall for booking the trip, and thank you very much Space centre for making it a very lovely trip.
Last Friday, Year Five children went to the space centre in Leicester ,
as they were learning about space. After the long coach journey from
Crosshall to Leicester we arrived at the space centre. We walked to the
entrance; As we came through the doors, it was very crowded and there
were a lot of schools. Then we had a look at all the space facts and
games as we had to wait to go to the 4D cinema.
Finally,it was our turn for the 4D cinema . We sat on our seats suddenly
the lights went out. On the ceiling we saw how astronauts felt before
they went to space,We were taken on a journey through the human body.
And learnt a lot about astronauts and how they feel.
Eventually,it was time to explore more. We headed towards a huge rocket
as tall as the building. Everybody gazed as it was huge. First, we
visited the bottom and worked our way up, learning facts on the way.
Once we had lunch , we went to see the rest of the facts before going
home. There was lots of different rooms and interactive games to play.
After a long day, we walked to the coach ready to go home the coach
journey back was really loud and it gave me and Hannah a head ache.When
we got back our parents were waiting for us.
Although the space centre was intresting , felt like it is not something I enjoy.
The best part was probably going in the planetarium as it was cool and
different and its something I haven’t experienced before. The worst part
was probably climbing up the rocket as I am scared of heights and I
didn’t want to look down.
I learned a lot about space , whereas before I didn’t know a lot and I
came home with lots of new facts that I could tell my family about.But
most of the rooms are for younger children that we found boring but
other parts were fun for our age but most stuff were for older children.
On Friday 11th March, year five went to the National Space Centre in
Leicester, to learn lots more about space and our planet(Earth).
First of all, we got to school then got on the coaches(there were 3 of
them). It took about 1 and a half hours to get there. Once we got there,
we went to the toilet then had to wait in a long line for about 20
minutes before we went into the planetarium and watched a short film
called Astronaut.
Next, we went into the rocket tower to see the rockets(there were two of
them) there was real moon rock and lots lots more! To get up to the top
we had to go up one hundred and fourteen steps! After we finish looking
around in the tower we had to go down a glass elevator! Then we finally
got to have lunch we had are lunch at about 1:00(I was starving!)
Then went outside, then into another room so we could have our lunch. While we were having lunch, we started to do the PTE.
After lunch, we went outside, then inside again so we could look around
some more. Then while we were downstairs, we looked at some information
about a lot of planets. There was this pretend black hole thingy were
you tried to stop balls from disappearing.(The balls represented the
planets from getting sucked into a blackhole).
Finally, we went to the toilet then got on the coach. It took another 1
and a half hours to get home. We got back to school at about 5 o’clock.
The best bit was seeing the rocket tower and going inside it. The worst
part was when we saw the movie because some of it makes you a bit
queasy.
Last Friday, Year Five went on an amazing, out-of-this-world trip to the
National Space Centre to learn all about the planets in our Solar
System.
The first thing we did was go into an enormous 4D planetarium to watch a
film all about the things you need to know when in space. The film
covered all of the walls and ceiling. It was really cool! Next, it was
time to explore the facts area, where there were plenty of exciting and
fun activities to do as well. The best activity I did was probably doing
the stone rubbing of a moon buggy.
We went up in glass lift to see two huge rockets. I thought the were both really interesting.
The best part was watching the film in the planetarium, the worst part
was walking up the stairs to the rockets, because we were climbing for
so long.
Despite it being huge, The Space Centre was very interesting and I recommend going there.
I learned a lot of things, and I came home with many new facts.
The only thing I didn’t like, was how I thought we didn’t do enough
things. I think they need more games or places for children aged 9/10 to
go.
