🌕 OUT OF THIS WORLD EXPERIENCE! 🚀
As part of Space Week, we’ve been incredibly lucky to host something truly special for our students - ACTUAL moon rocks! 🌑✨
We were sent genuine lunar samples collected during moon missions, alongside meteorite rocks that have travelled through space and crashed down to Earth. 🌠
Students have loved getting hands-on with history (and space!)- carefully examining the rocks up close with magnifying glasses and learning about their incredible journeys.
It’s been an unforgettable experience that has sparked curiosity, awe and some brilliant scientific questions! 🔬🪐
