| Mersey Ferries | All children thoroughly enjoyed this trip! | 24 March 2022 | |
| Magna Science Centre | A fantastic event with hundreds of stalls advertising a multitude of careers. Students could interact with technology and engineering equipment. Gain knowledge on skill sets required for different aspects within certain careers. Perhaps next time a little more time is required to see everything as it was extremely busy and lots was missed. | 24 March 2022 | |

| Lee Valley Regional Park Learning and Engagement | The chronological context activities were highly informative these included the time that humans have been on earth within the overall timeline of the planet and a timeline of key human developments. Children were able to draw with charcoal by candle light as though they were in a cave. They enjoyed the spark making however there were long periods of inactivity for children while the others in their group attempted to make sparks. This lead to restlessness and some low level behaviour issues. This may have been nice as a split activity with some children doing a holding task while others took part in the spark making. They learnt about animals who would have walked the earth at the same time. We also looked at fossils to develop an understanding of how historians and archaeologists use primary and secondary data. The activities were largely classroom based which minimised the overall wow factor however this was still a mostly engaging day. The main issue with the day arose during the hunter/gatherer activity during which children were provided with a sheet to help identify plants that existed both then and now and information about how they would have been used. The identifying information and the image were taken in spring or summer however plants were bare and had not yet bloomed. As such children struggled to identify the plants and consequently did not get much from this activity. This activity needed to be changed for the season and may have been more engaging if the children had attempted to mimic using plants in the way that they were used during the Stone Age. | 23 March 2022 | |

| Museum of Liverpool | Museum was lovely. Disappointing that so many of the interactive displays were out of action for updates/repairs. No mention of this when we booked. The staff were extremely helpful. We booked the Little Liverpool session. This had the potential to be an amazing experience but it was so rushed, the children were unable to interact with the resources in the room. Very disappointed with this. | 23 March 2022 | |

| Twycross Zoo | Lovely visit and the children learnt lots and enjoyed their day and experience seeing the animals. It's a shame they're not doing their workshops yet but the animals talks were from the same person and the children could ask lots of questions. We were very lucky with the weather but no where to sit and have lunch if the weather is awful. | 22 March 2022 | |
