Today we had a good day out with our Year Fours at LEGOland Discovery Centre at the Trafford Centre in Manchester.
The day began with a short tour of the 'factory'. We then had a go at Kingdom Quest, which is a shoot'em up game. This was my favourite ride of the day!
We had a workshop which was intended to teach the children about the forces of friction. It was a bit rushed for me and I didn't feel it stretched the children. They built race cars and then raced them against each other on tracks.
After lunch we explored the other ride - Merlin's Apprentice and explored Miniland. Miniland is a world of UK attractions built out of LEGO. The attention to detail is fantastic! We also watched a 4D film and gave the children chance to try the soft play area and complete a Master Builder course where we made a Red Arrow plane.
The members of staff were really helpful and looked after us well.
It was a good day out but I'm not too sure about the education value of the day, at least for our Year Fours.
