Year 5 Mars Day

Year 5 had the exciting opportunity to take part in Mars Day.

They enjoyed an interview with Astronaut Tim Peake, a tour of the European Space Centre and learning all about the training activities for Astronauts.

They also took part in a Moon and Mars live lesson  and really enjoyed the videos of looking down on Earth from space. They also completed some activities directing the Mars Rover and finding the equivalent amount of Burj Khalifa buildings to the depth of the Valles Marineris (the largest canyon in the entire Solar System)!

Year 5 love learning about Space and can't wait to continue their learning in Science Week!
