    Mrs Jacklin and Mrs Roadley are so proud of the incredible knowledge they have learnt in our 'To infinity and beyond' topic! We have lots of future astrophysicists because of the inspirational Tim Peake, Helen Sharman and the current Artemis 2 crew! We even went stargazing at night to see the planets and spotted Venus, Mars and Saturn! Our science fair project is all about Space this week so this would be the icing on the cake.
