We really enjoyed our time at Brookes University. It was a fascinating experience and we learnt lots of interesting things.
Our favourite part was when we were looking at the plant cells down the microscope. It was extremely fun changing the colours on the images to make pretty pictures. It made it easier to identify all the different parts of the cell and was also very entertaining.
