DISCOVERY SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CENTRE BENDIGO EXCURSIONS
Grades 1-2 and 3-4
Bendigo Excursion Writing By 1/2A
On Wednesday we went for a big long drive to Bendigo so we could go to the Science Discovery Centre. This was our very first out of town excursion.
The first thing we did was go on the giant vertical slide.
It made me feel scared because it was so high - Lylah.
I was a bit worried to go down it when I looked over the edge and held the pole - Jett.
I felt sick after because my tummy went way too fast - Alex.
I was so scared but went down and it almost made me spew - Jessica.
When I went down my tummy felt like it had butterflies - Mckaylah.
I felt proud of myself after I went down the slide - Evelyn.
When I went down he said my back wouldn’t go off the slide but it did - Nick.
When he said 3, 2, 1 I went down and I made a really scared face – Emily.
When I went down it I was scared but I tried to be brave - Sanam.
It made me feel scared so I didn’t go down – Violette.
Then we went to the Planetarium and saw the planets moving around on the roof.
We learned about planets – Papa
It was cool – Braxtyn
It was fun – Latoya
We got to see Pluto and learned that it snows red! – Alex
Earth has countries and I saw Australia - Jessica
After that we went and played on all of the different activities. My favourite one was…
The maze because it was lots of mirrors – Declan
The legless illusion in a fruit bowl – Aylee
The echo pipes because when you yell in them it sounds cool – Lylah
The shadow box because when the light goes on you put your hand on it and when the light goes off you can still see your shadow – Taequin
The magnetic spinning balls because you had to try and keep the balls on the wheel - Jett
It was a very very fun day! We can’t wait for our next excursion!
