It's all physics to me...

We had so much fun on our excursion to the city on Friday.  We started off at Scitech to get our hands on all the energy and forces information we've been learning in Science (and more).  Everyone had a great time pushing, pulling, lifting, throwing, flicking, spinning, pedaling, and much more.
The 'High Voltage Show' finished off our visit with more than one bang.  We were delighted with a machine that had 2000 volts of electricity (running through me!)  Plus seeing lightning bolts of electricity spark from Tesla coils.  We had some brave volunteers from the audience to demonstrate.

From Scitech we ventured into the city to the Cultural Centre where we had lunch.  Then it was an Art Gallery tour and a peek at the WA Museum.
Then it was home on the train again.  The Transperth Customer Service Team were magnificent!  They met us at every stop and helped us all get on and off as a group.  Thank you!
And thank you to all the wonderful parent helpers - we couldn't have done it without you!

The children had a great day and have already made suggestions for the next excursion (breathe Miss Brooks, breathe).
