Primary 1-4 had a blast of a time on Tuesday morning when the team from Generation Science came to visit to explain a bit more about the sun, moon and stars in a really fun way!<\/p>\n

They used giant models of the Earth, sun and moon to show how they orbit and explain the concept of day, night and time (days, months and years) in child-friendly speak.<\/p>\n

Judging from the giggling which could be heard coming from the hall, and the enthusiastic pupils who were full of interesting facts after the show; this was a tremendous success!<\/p>\n

“The suitcases were from different countries and we learnt what people across the world are doing at the one time!” explained Malcolm.<\/p>\n

“I had to stick the crocodile on Africa!” Isla said.<\/p>\n

Aidan felt that it was a “really fun way to find out how the earth and moon orbit the sun.”<\/p>\n

What a fabulous morning; full of fun and learning! The perfect combination. Take a look at the photos below…<\/p>\n
