This afternoon, Year 5 (along with Mr Worth and Mrs Hodgson) were lucky enough to visit space in the brand new school space rocket Space Odyssey Dome. The children got to see the wonders of our solar system, including each of the eight planets, the Sun, the Moon and the asteroid belt. We even got to venture deep into the centre of our galaxy, the Milky Way, where we encountered…

A GIGANTIC BLACK HOLE!

Fortunately, we learned that it is so far away that we don’t need to worry about it.

Everybody in Year 5 was over the moon to be inside the space dome and they all have so much to say about it, so watch this space… Get it?

Year 5 children were blown away by the size of our sun.
