Pupils at St John’s C of E Primary School spent Science Week boldly going into Space.

Throughout the week, classrooms were buzzing with hands‑on science experiments. Children explored everything from craters to constellations, discovering fascinating facts about our solar system.

The excitement really started when our young engineers designed, built, and launched rockets of all shapes and sizes.

The children also enjoyed delving into the stories of famous astronauts. From Neil Armstrong’s giant leap to Mae Jemison’s inspiring journey, pupils discovered the courage, curiosity, and teamwork which space exploration demands.

The grand finale came on Friday with an exciting visit from Wonder Dome, whose immersive mobile planetarium brought the universe straight to the school hall.  Inside the dome, pupils lay back and gazed at dazzling stars, swirling galaxies, and distant planets. Gasps, wows, and “Can we stay here forever?” echoed through the air.

Science Week was a truly out‑of‑this‑world experience for everyone involved.

The school would like to thank all staff, pupils, and the Wonder Dome for making the week such a success and for proving that, when it comes to learning, the sky is definitely not the limit!
