Space Week 2023

Space week took off with a 3….2….1….BLAST OFF! 🚀🚀

We celebrated ‘Space Week’ from Monday 2nd of October to Friday 6th of October.

Everyone was incredibly busy learning all about Space and making their own creations, ranging from aliens to rockets to spaceships to the galaxies. 🌍 ☄️🚀

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. 5th and 6th Class even got to visit Blackrock Observatory, where they took part in a range of science experiments and activities.

Our school Space Walk is full of strange looking beings. 👽🧑‍🚀Here is a snapshot of some of the aliens that were made, using recyclable materials during Space Week 2023. 👽🚀
