Year 5 trip to Leicester Space Centre

Year 5 enjoyed a fantastic trip to Leicester Space Centre last Thursday. They watched a show in the planetarium which was very interesting about how astronauts prepare for a space launch and how they stay healthy while there. After lunch, the children had some free time to explore the rocket tower - a 144 step climb to the top - and all the exhibits. They were fascinated by the Mars Rover, the machine to test for space sickness and the example of how heavy a tin of beans would be on each planet, the sun and the moon. Their behaviour was excellent as always - they did St Joseph's and their families proud! Well done Year 5!
