Our great day out

What a great day we had at the Discover Centre in Stratford. The excitement began as soon as we boarded the coach.



When we got to Discover we explored their fantastic garden. We could climb, peep, make music, fly spaceships and drive taxis.











After our fun in the garden, we were taken inside to meet Hootah, a space monster. We were told how Hootah's planet survives on stories, and that he needed our help to make some more stories.



So off we went to find ideas for stories...

We found lights that could make music when you jumped on them...



and paper to write notes for our stories...



and mirrors that created a whole new character...



and mysterious ropes. I wonder what happens if you pull it?



And we found bubbles, full of children!



We heard strange whisperings in the spaceship...



Maybe it was these two space explorers...



The spaceship had a quick exit, just in case aliens came...



and the puppets helped us to create stories in their theatre...



and the crocodile carefully guarded the alphabet in the river...



We had to pull ourselves away from giant spiders...



and dressed up as a story character...



and we wrote secret messages on mirrors!



Finally, we met our 'Story Builder', who used all the exciting information from our story hunt to create a story. We even had a chance to be characters from the story.





Finally, we had some time to create our very own puppet characters for our stories.






Hootah's planet is definitely going to survive because of the great stories we created at our day out at Discover. Well done, RF!
