Last night, Year 5 came back to school at 6.30pm for an exciting session of star gazing. Tom Holloway (from Primary Science Teaching Trust) a star gazing expert, showed us the difference in the size of planets and stars using an animation, which blew our minds! We then went outside to look at the stars and for once the weather was on our side and we had a fantastic time learning about Orion, Sirius (the brightest star in the sky), the North Star and The Plough. We saw several satellites whizzing across the sky too. It was a very interesting evening made all the more special with biscuits, hot chocolate, whipped cream and marshmallows!
