On Monday 13th November we departed from Clontibret N.S. to the Garage Theatre, Monaghan to Dr. Ken and the Science Circus. We arrived at 9.50am and waited to go in. When we went in, it was difficult to get a seat. Zoe and I sat together. When Dr. Ken came out he did a lot of tricks. He talked about ‘force’. A boy called Darcy came up and tried to push Dr. Ken but couldn’t. Then Dr. Ken stood on a skate board and it was much easier to push him. He explained how gravity pushes everything to the ground. A girl came up and dropped balls and showed us that they fall and land at the same time, it doesn’t matter how heavy or light they are. He said that Galileo found that out. Dr. Ken took up four children and they balanced peacock feathers on their hands. He spun a basketball on his finger and got a girl to try it. He got her to hold a drill and turn it on. He balanced the basketball on it and it didn’t fall off. He got her to try and fling something on string. Then he got on a unicycle and juggled. When he got off it was the end of the show. We lined up and when we were getting on the bus we waved to Dr. Ken. It was 11.30am when we got back to school.
