To enhance Year 5’s learning on ‘Earth and Space’ they had a talk from an amateur astronomer. They learnt all about star constellations, nebulas, supernovas and the planets. Mr. Hunt told them about the different types of telescopes you can use to study the sky at night and why we are lucky to live in the Lake District as the light pollution is much less so we are able to see 1000s of stars. They were all inspired by his talk and asked lots of interesting questions throughout.
