Robot Show
First of all they showed us some robots. One of the robots were called scorpion. All of the robots were fighting. They let the carbon dioxide come out. At the end everybody clapped.


In the science exhibition we looked at knex. Then we had to make a lighthouse out of knex. Then if we wanted, we could enter a competition to win a big box of knex. All you had to do was answer two questions.

FOOTBALL
You had to kick the football against the wall. You had to kick the football as fast as you can. Then you went to get a sticker with your score.

Burning money
There was a 5euro note. Then a woman covered it with a special gel and got a firelighter and tried to burn it but it didn’t burn. The gel protects the money.
