Today we visited the very interesting National Space Centre in
Leicester, which was linked with our current book- George's Secret Key to the Universe.We had a bit of an early start so we could make it on time and when we got there, we went straight into our workshops; one about staying healthy in space and the other about what astronauts wear in space (watch the video of the children doing some exercise, measuring their pulse rates!). Both workshops
were thoroughly enjoyed by both sets of children.Afterwards, we had a short time to look around, before heading off to our 'Planets' theatre show, which was quite amazing! It's quite hard to describe, but the screen was pretty much the entire room and the children were truly immersed in the show they were watching. After lunch, we went on the space simulator (a few dodgy stomachs there!) and went up the rocket tower to see the 2 rockets that are housed at the centre.
All in all, a fantastic visit, where the children and staff learnt lots and lots of new information!
