Our Year 7 students recently embarked on an exciting journey to the National Space Centre in Leicester, where they had the opportunity to explore the wonders of space and astronomy, accompanied by ‘Astronauts’ Mr Speakman and Mr Crocker. This immersive trip provided a dynamic learning experience, bringing their science curriculum to life.
During the visit, students explored interactive exhibits covering topics such as the solar system, space travel, and the history of human exploration beyond Earth. They had the chance to step inside the iconic Rocket Tower, where they learned about real-life space missions and the engineering behind launching rockets into orbit.
A highlight of the trip was the spectacular planetarium show, which transported students on a virtual journey through the cosmos. They experienced the breathtaking beauty of distant galaxies, planets, and stars while deepening their understanding of the vast universe beyond our own planet.
Throughout the day, students took part in workshops and interactive activities, developing their knowledge of physics, astronomy, and the technology that enables space exploration.
The trip to the National Space Centre was a fantastic opportunity for our students to engage with science beyond the classroom and expand their understanding of the universe.
