During their Key Stage assemblies, children were given the opportunity to handle some lunar rocks, which were loaned to us by the UK’s Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), and find out more information about how the samples were collected. We thought they were truly out of this world and they certainly helped to enrich Year 1 and Year 5’s scientific learning on Space!
