On Friday 6th October, year 7 and 8 pupils recognised World Space Week with a virtual space talk. The guest speaker, Dr Vicky Fawcett is an astronomer from Newcastle University. She discussed how to become an astronomer (sharing her career pathway) and explained her research into black holes.
Following the virtual talk, pupils were given the opportunity to ask Dr Fawcett further question. Pupils were also given the opportunity to discuss their own career thoughts and research the pathways into those careers.
Pupils said “she explained the facts very well” and they found “telescopes and her educational journey” interesting.
