Year Five Space Camp: A Journey Beyond the Stars!

In June, Year Five pupils embarked on an out-of-this-world adventure as our school hall transformed into a Space Camp for a very special overnight stay. Tents were pitched indoors, sleeping bags rolled out, and the excitement was truly astronomical!

Throughout the evening, pupils immersed themselves in a galaxy of space-themed activities. We explored the phases of the moon using Oreo cookies (and maybe snuck a few bites!), engineered and launched our own rockets, and got creative by designing and crafting flying saucers. Using iPads, we explored the night sky, identifying stars and constellations.

No camp would be complete without delicious food, and ours was no exception. We enjoyed a pizza dinner and later gathered around a (safe) fire to make classic marshmallow s’mores. The next morning, a hearty breakfast of cereal and toast gave us the energy we needed to reflect on our incredible experience.

To wrap it all up, we invited parents to a special assembly where pupils proudly shared everything they had learned and created. It was a truly memorable night full of fun, learning, and teamwork—and one giant leap for Year Five!
