Today she did enjoy it but there were a few things that was a little boring for her.  We had a look around the space and rockets section where a lady gave a talk about stars and planets, rockets and the first people on the moon.

Faith-Lee was chosen to come to the front and hold up one of the 9 planets thats in our solar system – which was Pluto.  The lady talking was really good and managed to keep the kids in the audience interested, especially when the words wee-wee and poo were mentioned…she was of course talking about how the astronauts go to the toilet!

After that we took a look around the museum at the various areas like the first steam train which was Puffing Billy

One place Faith-Lee did enjoy was the Launch Pad situated on the 4th Floor of the museum, this area had lots of things for children to play / experiment with.  This includes things like how sound travels, magnets and water and light…in the end I had to drag Faith-Lee out because she was enjoying herself so much.

Once we had finished in there we took a look in the shop and Faith-Lee in the end bought one of those wiggly worm that have been on the go for years…I remember having a number of them over a period of time when I was a kid…you will remember them they had the invisible nylon string on the end that you used to pull it out of drinking glasses or around pencils and the adverts make it look like they actually move on their own but they don’t!

But to be fair to Faith-Lee she has certainly had her monies worth out of it already today and it has a name of Nina.
