Day 213 - Science Time

Today Maddie had her first Science Time session which was ran at the dinosaur museum this week. Maddie was pretty impressed with the magnifying glass and loved looking at the rocks and fossils with it. The instructor was awesome, managing to keep control of all of the kids that attended for the whole lot of mat time while he talked about different dinosaurs and one kid answered all of his questions. The activities were awesome, with playdough foot prints Maddie is obsessed with, paper plate dino craft, colouring and a toy dinosaur that they could climb onto and pretend to ride.

We attempted to check out the museum afterwards, but Maddie was starving so she was overly emotional and insanely naughty so we headed over to Cockington Green for some lunch and a quick train ride. Thankfully once Maddie was fed she was in a much better mood so we were able to pick up some fairies and explore some of the gardens a bit more in the sun. The Cockington Green membership has now paid for itself, and even though the Science Time class wasn't at Questacon, I think the Questacon membership will soon be worthwhile too.
