This term Primary 6 and 5/6 have been studying our Solar System and Space exploration. To get them of to a flying start they visited the Science Centre where they investigated the experiments, watched an enthralling film about the Hubble Space Telescope and were given an insight into what is in our night sky.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Challenge

The pupils were then set a Space Challenge as Enterprising Homework.  Along with an adult helper they had to design and make a Mars Rover…… all in 4 weeks.

These are just some of the wonderful rovers the children made.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Experiment Day

The two classes had a day of space experiments to help them understand the difficulty of working in space. They wore work goggles, very thick gloves at most experiments while at a few they wore work coveralls as well as standing on swivel boards. Good fun was had by all and a much better understanding was gained of the problems faced by astronauts working in the vacuum of space
