Y5 and Y6 were able to visit the National Space Centre on Wednesday where we had time to explore all the different interactive galleries and the UKs largest planetarium. The children had the opportunity to see shuttles, rockets, space suits and even a real piece of the moon.
During the day, they were able to read lots of information which then allowed them to answer some questions around our second case study for this expedition focusing on forces.
We also took part in a workshop all about the Sun, Earth and Moon. We took part in a quiz then took part in a practical activity around how we get day and night and seasons. Afterwards, they explored the phases of the moon and then produced a turn wheel to help them remember each phase.
Every child displayed awesome HoWLs and they really did themselves and school proud. This fieldwork has really hooked us in to our learning and we cannot wait to get started learning even more about our expedition!
