P4/5 had a special visitor on Friday as part of National Science Week – Laura. Thomas, a Space Ambassador from the European Space Program. This was a follow up to the work they had done with the rocket seeds last year as part of the Tim Peake Project. She talked to the children about the materials needed for spacecraft to withstand the conditions in space. The children tested different materials – checking them for temperature, electrical conductivity, bounce, weight and strength. She also answered lots of questions from the children on space and gravity and got to see them test their lunar modules. It was a great learning experience and fun was had by all.
