It’s been 50 years since the last person walked on the moon and Primary 5 pupils had the opportunity to visit Motherwell Heritage Centre during the week beginning 23rd May to participate in a workshop about our nearest solar system neighbour.

The children had the chance to see real moon rock and took part in several practical activities to learn more about the science behind the moon landings which took place between 1969 and 1972.

The Heritage Centre is running a special Moon Activity Day on Friday 27th May from 12.00 – 4.00pm with moon-themed activities for children of all ages. Entry is free and booking is not required.
