Year 5 Cinema Trip
On Wednesday, Year 5 had the opportunity to visit Cineworld in Stevenage, where we watched a documentary all about space: Deep Sky. This linked perfectly to our current Science topic. The documentary focused on how NASA built the James Webb Space Telescope to study cosmic landscapes approximately 1.6 million km from Earth! We saw images of distant galaxies, planets orbiting other stars and nebulae, which had not been previously seen by telescopes. Some of the stars that the telescope captured, were so old that they exploded before Earth even existed. The light from them had been travelling for billions of years. The children were well-behaved and represented our school well on the walk there and back. The documentary gripped lots of our Year 5 space enthusiasts and we all felt aware that really, we're just a small moment in an infinite universe!
