In April, our Year 5 Griffins ventured to the National Space Centre in Leicester. They started the day off by visiting the iconic Rocket Tower. This is home to Blue Streak and Thor Able rockets, as well as the Gagarin Experience, Apollo Lunar Lander and real Moon Rock. The four exhibition decks tell the story of the Space Race, history of rockets as well as Britain’s Space Race.
Following this, they visited the UK’s biggest planetarium (Sir Patrick Moore Planetarium). Our Griffins were blown away, journeying through the solar system, visiting the different planets and learning some amazing facts – some they didn’t know.
Later, they explored the different interactive rooms starting with the Solar System, then The Universe, Home Planet and Into Space. This was an out-of-this-world school trip that has helped inspire the next generation of space scientists and engineers at Bramford Primary School.
Year 5 had such a fantastic day and represented the school brilliantly!
