Last week Year 1 went on their first ever school trip to Winchester Science Centre! First we went in the planetarium and took a journey into space. Not only did we discover the planets but also we learnt about the moon and the stars too! Next we got to explore all of the fantastic science exhibits. Some exhibits were all about space and some were to do with the human body and the environment. There were soooooo many, that we don’t know which one to tell you about first. In the afternoon we all took part in a rocket workshop. We had to work in groups to design and make a rocket using a variety of shapes. We discussed what shapes would work best and how to make it aerodynamic. After that the Science Teacher actually lit the rockets to see how far they would fly. 5…4…3…2…1… Liftoff! Some made it to the moon, some made it to Mars, some even made it to the asteroid belt although some didn’t get much further than the launch pad! We had such a fantastic day and learnt many new things!
