To The Science Museum And Beyond

We celebrated C’s first day being home educated by visiting the London Science Museum. From there, we blasted off in Apollo 16 to the moon (and got wet when we splashed back down to Earth) – and came close up, in the museum’s IMAX cinema, to the swooping dolphins, lurking sharks, super-pods of whales and plunging gannets travelling up the Eastern Coast of South Africa in pursuit of the gigantic-shoals of sardines that migrate north in winter (“poor Sardines”, whispered J (5), in a rare display of empathy).  We also allowed ourselves plenty of time for hands-on science fun in the “Leap Pad” section, always a favourite.
