Year 3 ‘Hands On’ at the Catalyst Museum

The Catalyst Museum is housed in one the only remaining builds of the old Gossages Soap works in Widnes, and it is a fantastic place to visit, full of hands-on activities and interesting information for people of all ages. The museum also delivers a range of educational workshops. Our Year 3 pupils were recently wowed, inspired and had a thoroughly good day out there, which included a couple of workshops which enhanced and consolidated what they have already learnt on our Year 3 curriculum. The day started with a fantastic interactive show, all about light and then after lunch we all had a lot of fun making soap, which we could take and use at home, hopefully not turning blue or green in the process. A brilliant day out was had by all (which was evident from the quiet coach journey back to school in time for pick-up)!
