On Wednesday the 27th November year 5 went on a trip to The National Space Centre. There we got split into groups. I was in Miss Porter’s group. First, we went to the rocket tower and there were all sorts of rocket themed games and facts. We got to see a real-size rocket which was 43m tall! Next we went into lots of different rooms where we learnt about The Sun, The Universe and Earth. After lunch, we went to The Planetarium which in my opinion was the best part! There we watched a video about how to become an astronaut and learnt how difficult this job is! Last but not least we went to the gift shop. People bought posters, chocolate, sweets, pens, keyrings, crystals and more! Each pupil could bring £7.50 to spend in the gift shop. A big thank you to our parent helpers!
