Latest news in Year 5.

Year 5 had a fantastic day at the STEM centre at Airbus. We spent the day doing a variety of different activities. During the first activity, we learnt about the night sky and heard stories about how the star constellations were named. Next, we got creative and made a model of the earth, sun and moon that allowed us to demonstrate how they rotate and orbit. We also had the opportunity to view the Mars Yard test area, where we saw the prototype rovers that Airbus engineers are testing as part of the ExoMars project. An area that was enjoyed by everyone was the Exploration Zone. Here we enjoyed using the AR sandbox, where you could make volcanoes erupt, using a robotic arm to build with boulders, gave each other electric shocks, as well as exploring lots of other fun scientific exhibits.
