This month's Wildlife Watch session took us to Rushcliffe Country Park to meet Misty from the Rushcliffe Barn Owl Project. 
After identifying different breeds of owl in a quiz competition between the children and grownups (no prizes for guessing who won!) we learnt that barn owl numbers have declined by 50% in the UK in the past 50 years and thought about some of the reasons for this. Then it was gloves on for owl pellet dissection...
before heading outside for a run around in the sunshine... 
... and finally off to the Nottingham Playhouse to join other HE families at The Science Museum Live On Tour! 
This was a sort of National Curriculum science meets Saturday morning telly type show, with the two presenters demonstrating energy transfer, forces and states of matter and introducing famous scientists and key inventions, with lots of audience involvement, silly costumes and small explosions. Our favourite part was the mini hovercraft ride round the stage.
