A DAY IN SPACE
On Friday, February
10th last, pupils from first and second class, participated in a holistic
Space exploration day. In order to engage fully with the Space theme,
the pupils came to school dressed in creative space costumes. Time was
spent exploring the various planets, investigating recent expeditions
into Space, surfing the N.A.S.A. Website and listening to musical pieces
composed especially for 21st Century Space Movies. Lots of valuable
information was gathered and an enjoyable day was had by all!
