On Monday, the children enjoyed being ‘Trainee Astronauts’. We learnt about the skills an astronaut needs and identified which talents they could bring to the role. The children completed their training card by receiving stamps for taking part in STEM and fitness activities throughout ‘Astronaut Training Day’. They were delighted to earn their astronaut badge at the end of the day. Well Done Primary 2/1 & Primary 2!
On Wednesday, we had a very exciting visit from Cosmos Planetarium. We adventured through space exploring the different planets and gazed upon the stars.
On Thursday, we continued writing our creative sentences about ‘how to catch a star’🌟 ✍️🏻. The children’s descriptive language has truly been out of this world! 🌎 It is a joy to observe the children’s progress and motivation to write. 🌟
SPACE Art and Craft
Our current artistic project started today. We learned about spacecraft and vehicles then set to work designing and making 3D models of shuttles, satellites, the international space station, capsules, modules, Mars probes, rockets and more. We were so proud of the children for the independent working they displayed as they planned and constructed, sharing materials and supporting each other all the way. As Julian said, “Team work makes the dream work!” Thanks to all who provided an exciting supply of resources for this activity. We are keeping our end products a surprise for now but we can show you our busy space workshops…definitely some future engineers amongst us!
On Wednesday 23rd April, we invite parents/carers to join the children in school to share some of our Space learning.

P2/1 parents/carers at 2pm
