Back for half term, by popular demand, is our 90 minute children's activity session is inspired by the Apollo 11 moon landing. It includes the famous teddy bear parachute jump!
It's time for our young visitors to help teddy with his astronaut training - as he parachutes from high up in the cathedral. See him "falling-with-style", help him fold up his parachute and then take him for a walk across the recreation of the moon surface where men first stood way back in 1969!
The children will explore the story of that first moon landing and take part in Astronaut Training by:
- making a mission badge
- solving logic puzzles
- making teddy a parachute
- taking their teddy plus his parachute safely home with them
This activity is linked to the exhibition of the lunar artwork, 'One Small Step', by the artist Peter Walker.
