Days Out - Science & Industry Museum

We visited the Science & Industry Museum in Manchester during February half term week.  We walked around the 'Textiles' exhibition, which was slightly more interesting than it sounds(!) due to the interactive elements of it.  The children had a go at knitting (I wasn't very good at helping them despite the 4 step instructions - knitting is one thing I could never master!) and weaving (this was a doddle for me to explain!)


We walked around the aircraft exhibition and saw lots of different flying machines, the children enjoyed this bit, especially the spaceship!


We all played with the interactive wall of televisions and became famous for a while!


The children had a play in the play part of the interaction section of the museum, this was great fun and allowed everyone some freedom to run about and play.  After about an hour of playing here the fire alarm went off and we had to evacuate the building!  That was the end of our trip!  It was a lovely day out and somewhere I would definitely take the children back to again - hopefully next time we will be able to finish our explorations!
