On Thursday 13th Aug, Room 4 went to the Faraday Centre in Napier. It is a fascinating place, with lots of exhibits from times gone by. It is great for children and adults. There are things to interest everyone. It is interactive with lots of hands on activities. The museum is open to the public in the weekend. Careful sewing girls.  |
