Pupils return to earth after space learning journey
Head teacher Pat Strickson said staff and pupils had all enjoyed the variety of different activities which turned into a stellar learning experience.
Pat said: "We've been into Space for our Summer Learning Journey. We took off in the 'Pebsham Patriot' on the 4th June. Each class have discovered and named a star and then explored it. We've investigated the surface and made models."

"This Wednesday we return to Earth and our Parents are invited into our classes to see our hard work and hear songs we've learnt, and see dances we've made up as well as find out all about the stars. We've had a Cosmic cinema, star games in the playground and super sensory experiences. It's been a stellar learning time!"
