A Journey Through Space

Year 5 explore the Solar System in an immersive dome experience.
On Monday, Year 5 explored the skies and space inside a Space Dome, led by astronomer Daniel from Science Oxford. Using a range of captivating visuals, he guided them through the Solar System, sharing fascinating details about the Sun, each planet, and distant galaxies beyond. With stunning images from the James Webb Telescope, Daniel sparked discussions about the possibility of extra-terrestrial life and inspired pupils to imagine futures as scientists themselves. The children thoroughly enjoyed this immersive experience, which deepened their understanding of our science topic — and they’ve already voted to book it again next year!
