Space Comes to School

Just before half term, pupils in Reception and Year 5 enjoyed an unforgettable experience as space quite literally came to school, thanks to a visit from the Wonderdome mobile planetarium.

Our Reception children became budding astronauts as they were transported beyond Earth’s atmosphere on an exciting journey through the solar system. They encountered rockets, astronauts and planets along the way, sparking curiosity and awe as they explored the wonders of space in an age‑appropriate and engaging way.

Meanwhile, Year 5 took their learning even further, delving deeper into the Moon, the vast scale of the Universe, and a range of fascinating (and mind‑stretching!) scientific concepts. The immersive experience brought classroom learning to life and encouraged thoughtful discussion and questioning.

We would like to say a huge thank you to Wonderdome for delivering such a magical and inspiring experience right here in school. The children were completely captivated, and it was a fantastic way to deepen their understanding while igniting a love of science and space. 💫
