Turning back Time

But wait, we need to get there! Engage imagination, search supplies, adopt a co-pilot, pop on the inventor specs and get creating...... !

We made Time Machines of every design, from square ones to round ones, from silver ones to multi-coloured ones. Gadgets, wires, dials, buttons and levers, beads, paper, card and sticky plastic. We even took time apart and explored the insides of mechanical clocks - using hands, cogs and the clock faces for our machines.


Then we tried them out and we travelled forwards in time to 3011 and even 9011 to see how the world has changed and if people lived on the moon, to 2020 to see what happened after the olympics, to 2012 to see if the world had ended, and we travelled forwards for short periods of time to see what we got for our birthdays.....!

and we travelled backwards in time, way way back to see if mulan really existed, to roman times to do some sneaky research for school work, to the middle ages to just soak in the atmosphere, to tudor times to see if they really did chop off peoples heads, and to when our grandparents were ten years old to find out what they were like as children
.
"Wow, this is fantastic, I can't believe we just made a Time Machine!"
