Space Week 2020

We marked ‘Space Week’ from Monday 5th October to Friday 9th October last week. We are presently working towards the Discover Primary Science Plaque of STEM Excellence which is awarded to schools in recognition of their extensive work in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.

There were many Space Week themed activities in all classes during ‘Space Week’ this year including; space engineering projects, art, poetry, experiments, space facts, and much more.

Please see a snapshot of some of the Space activities in the classes during Space Week 2020.

5th class designed some “New Planets” and write some very interesting poems about Space.

2nd Class designed their own spiral galaxies and robots.

More Space Week photos to follow soon……..
