Year 5 Visit the Royal Observatory

Last week Year 5 visited the Royal Observatory, Greenwich. It was a fascinating day and thoroughly enjoyed by all pupils and adults. Each class meandered their way through the space galleries, trying their hand at launching a space mission and locating stars with a telescope. In the space workshop, pupils were able to show off their knowledge of their science topic Earth, Sun and Moon and learn some new facts too! Finally the highlight of the day was a visit to the Peter Harrison Planetarium. Pupils sat back in the reclined cinema seats to watch the show ‘Meet the Neighbours’ and were taken on an exhilarating journey through the night sky that was projected above them.
