In Year 5, we have been learning about Space. We have been
looking at the orbits of the Sun, Moon and Earth.
Did you know, the more recent understanding of the Solar System (Heliocentric Model) states that the Sun is the centre of our Universe
(and we orbit around the Sun) – Clever old Copernicus!
As part of our project, we visited the Winchester Science
Centre and Planetarium, where they have a 360 degree planetarium screen. There
were all sorts of amazing science activities there!
In addition, we have been following the journey of
astronaut, Timothy Peake, whilst he is up in the International Space Station.
Did you know, he has made history as he is the first British born person to
visit the I.S.S. We learnt lots of interesting facts about him, when we wrote
his biography.
