Winchester Science Centre and Planetarium


On the way to the science centre, thoughts were racing through my mind. A blanket of curiosity and anticipation covered me. We had finally arrived! As our guide appeared, my face lit up and a smile crept across my face. Our guide mentioned the instructions, then told us we could go. We were off! In the blink of an eye, I was rummaging through the bottom floor. My head was full to the brim with facts. I learnt about the animals that live under the sea and the impact they have on our lives, I learnt about the human body and what you can find when you mine for glimmering gold, iron and glistening gems. After we had ended our search through the bottom floor, we clambered up the steep stairs onto the top floor. My jaw dropped and my eyes widened. I couldn’t believe my eyes! The top floor was packed with various activities: sports games, idea boards and an area where you could deepen your knowledge of space. When we had finished looking around the top floor, the teachers rounded us up to have our lunch. I raced through my lunch as I was so excited to go to the planetarium.


 
 

Yet again, we climbed up the steep stairs to the planetarium. I quickly settled into my seat since I was so eager to learn more. During the show I learnt a multitude of facts. When the show had finished, we asked Mrs Barber (my teacher) to let me explore more and she reluctantly said yes. Unfortunately, it was time to go school. I tucked myself into my seat, put my seat belt across to the buckle and took a deep breath, my amazing day at Winchester Science Centre and Planetarium was over.
