Earth Day Fun for P2W

Good morning everyone,

I hope you all had a lovely Easter holiday with your family doing lots of fun activities.

Today is a very special day in the calendar called ‘Earth Day’. This year is even more special as it is the 50th anniversary. Below are some links for fun and interactive resources to give you more information about Earth Day. Have fun doing some of these activities.

Missing you all,

Miss Walkingshaw

Attention Stargazers!

A couple of exciting things for you to get out and see over the next few nights:

Tonight Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite ‘train’ will be passing over head from South West to East at 9:58pm (just in case you are still awake at this time).

You can find the exact times here –

https://findstarlink.com/#1523;3

I’ve not seen them before so I’m very much looking forward to this! You should be able to see them without the need for a telescope or binoculars.

This week you can also see the Lyrid meteor shower which happens around this time every year. It is set to peak tomorrow (Tuesday) night, and if you are lucky you could see between 10-15 meteors an hour!

It’s always a good idea to go outside at least 15 minutes beforehand to allow your eyes to adjust to the darkness and give yourself the best chance of spotting something. Make sure you wrap up warm (I like to take a nice hot chocolate out with me too)

I’m looking forward to hearing all of your stargazing finds!

Fingers crossed for a clear night!

Have fun!

Science – International Space Station

Hello everyone!

One of the tasks you all had on your science grids was to go outside when it was dark and see if you could spot any stars or planets. If you time it well then you can also see the International Space Station flying over your head. I was lucky enough to spot it on Saturday night at around 8:30pm. I managed to take a video to share with you all. See if you can spot it! There are still opportunities for you to spot it yourself too, check the website at spotthestation.nasa.gov to see times of when it will be passing over where you live.

Happy star gazing!
