Ground Control to Bridge and Patrixbourne! 
Today Year 5 have had the most amazing day learning all about Space. Jackson ( from As Creatives) came into school to teach the children through the use of drama. They have learnt why other planets in our solar system are incapable of sustaining life and how Earth is known as the Goldilocks planet. They worked in small groups to create  mini solar systems , learnt about the race to space and the dangers involved in space travel.  Tomorrow, the children will share and record the knowledge that they have learnt and record it in a variety of ways before going on to learn more about Amazing Women in Space. We will then begin our book study on Hidden Figures. Later in the term, they will have the opportunity to design and make their own space buggies. We would like to thank Jackson for inspiring the children with his bank of knowledge, energy and enthusiasm. A great start to the term.
