Helsinki Trip – Day 1

Today we visited the Helsinki Science centre “Heureka” with Monika and Olivia. The science education value of this section was unclear, but it contained some fun activities.

The first event on the list was curling, and here Olivia shows us her technique.

Whilst Monica had a go at the sweeping task.  Note that there was no actual ice and the stones ran on casters of some sort so the sweeping activity didn’t seem to make any difference.

The next event was the downhill, where Olivia posted an impressive time and Sophia did well for a beginner.Sophia Downhill

But, the most exciting event of the day was definitely the Mothers’ biathlon where Monica led for most of the race, but flagged in the final stage to be beaten by Marina.
