On Thursday 2nd February, Year 5 had the pleasure of meeting Helen Sharman (the first British astronaut) during a virtual question and answer session. Prior to the event, the pupils were given the opportunity to submit questions which were addressed throughout the exciting live lesson. This activity links to their current Science topic “The Earth and Beyond”.
Freddie commented, “I like how it answered all our questions and encouraged children to go to space.”
Tyler said, “It was fascinating and encouraged under 18s to go to space.”
Josh recalled he, “liked the quotes that the astronauts shared to ‘believe in yourself’ and ‘try your hardest at all you do’.”
