To support the Science curriculum, the children in Year 5 visited Thinktank, a science museum, in Birmingham. The children experienced a planetarium show and enjoyed a tour of the Solar System alongside a commentary delivered by a knowledgeable astronomer. The show included a brief overview of the current night sky as well as flying into space to investigate Moon phases in detail and a look at the planets, constellations and shooting stars. Through demonstrations and science experiments, the children also explored what life was like for an entire space crew in the Destination Space Show celebrating astronaut Tim Peake's mission to the International Space Station.
