The Look Out Discovery Centre

Nicholas went with his class went on an school outing to The Look Out Discovery Centre near Bracknell on Monday. The topic of their tour was light and sound. They definitely had a super time and it appears as though Nicholas really took in a lot of information. We'll have to add it to our list of places to visit because it looks very interesting indeed. Apparently it has an amazing outdoor playground in the forest to boot. This is Nicholas, with a smile on his face, waving good-bye to us from the coach!


I've mentioned show and tell before. Friday is show and tell day and every week they have a different topic tying into the theme for that week. They need to have at least three things to say about their item and then the rest of the children can ask them questions about it. They are supposed to rehearse at home so it's quite a serious business. To tie in with the trip to the Discovery Centre the topic for this week is something to do with science. Nicholas chose to take his prism and talk about its 3D shape, how it can split white light into the spectrum of 7 colours and how it bends light to cause an optical illusion. I wish I could be a fly on the wall!
