This week Year 5 visited the Centre for Life in Newcastle. They took part in a variety of STEM workshops and activities which tied into their ‘Mission Control’ topic in Dimensions.

The children conducted experiments using robotic arms, freeze dried fruits and astronaut clothing. The Life Centre Staff also pointed out the Mars Rover which featured in their Literacy work earlier in the year.

Later in the day they visited a science light show and the planetarium where they learned about space, space flight and our earth.
