Year 5 Tip to Observatory 

This week, Year 5 enjoyed a fantastic trip to Herstmonceux Observatory!

Some of our favourite activities included: a workshop all about how to use robot arms; scientific water play where we built dams; discovery playground where we had the opportunity to take part in and perform experiments as well as being able to look at the Sun through a telescope!

The children were so well-behaved and polite, and everyone who attended (including the adults!) had a brilliant day experimenting and learning in the sunshine!
