National Science and Media Museum (Bradford)

Sunday 07 June 2026

We had a fantastic trip to the National Science and Media Museum in Bradford this week.  The museum is full of lots of  activities that inspired the children to ask questions and investigate like scientists.

A particular favourite exhibit was Wonderlab which had lots of immersive, hands-on exhibits which dived into the physics and technology behind what we see and hear.

Highlights included a 15m long echo tube, a mirror maze, laser tunnel and the chance to make art using light.

We also had a workshop recapping and extending our learning about sound. We revisited our learning about how sound travels and learnt about how special effects sound engineers use sound to enhance films.

Thank you for the donation you made for the trip – the children had a wonderful day!
