P4 trip to Armagh Planetarium 💫

What a day P4 had in Armagh Planetarium! 🪐

🪐 Our day started with a trip to the 360 dome theatre. We took a trip with some Aliens to the solar system to visit each of the 8 planets 🚀

🪐 P4 were then given a quiz to see what facts they could recall about the planets- our guide was so impressed with P4’s knowledge 👏🏻

🪐Next up, we took a simulator roller coaster all around the Milky Way! 🎢

🪐 Then the boys and girls made their way to the rocket making workshop. Here we worked in teams of two or three to design and build a rocket. Then we fuelled up the rockets, placed them onto a pressurised pump and blasted them into the sky- it was so exciting!! 💥

🪐We learned a little bit about what life is like for an astronaut- what food they eat, how much exercise the must do in space, how they wash themselves and much more! 👩‍🚀

🪐To end our day, everyone was given some free time to explore the interactive exhibition area. P4 got to; touch a real meteorite, Spin the clouds of Neptune, Create our own solar system and dress up in astronaut’s Space suits. ☺️

Here are a few photos capturing a wonderful school trip!
