Year 5 visited Aerospace in Bristol at the end of January to help to consolidate their science learning around forces, Earth and space.
The children had the opportunity to look at exhibitions which documented the journey of aerospace, finding out about groundbreaking pilots and engineers, with lots of opportunities for hands-on experiences. They were very excited to see a Concorde and to be able to look inside - the last Concorde flight landed in Bristol on the runway just outside the museum!
They also took part in a Blast-off Rocket workshop, building and launching their own paper rockets after working as a team to think about the science involved in creating a successful model.
Everyone had a great day - thank you very much to our parent volunteers who supported the visit!
