Space Station Trip: A Day to Remember<br />
To<br />
commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 space mission that landed<br />
Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the Moon, the Science department held a<br />
trip to the National Space Centre in Leicester on Tuesday 16th July <strong>2019</strong>. Mr King, Ms<br />
Atwal, Ms Swaminathan, Ms Agarwal and Mr Kempster accompanied 47 year 7 and year<br />
8 students on the journey. It was a long day, starting at 7am and ending at 6pm, but one<br />
which the students were extremely grateful and positive<br />
about.<br />
The centre itself hosts an array of fascinating exhibits,<br />
including historical and famous spacesuits, equipment<br />
from spacecraft and a 42-meter tall ‘Rocket Tower’. All<br />
of these and more are housed in and around interactive<br />
displays, which students were free to visit and explore<br />
throughout the day. In the middle of the day was a 30<br />
minute long show held in the incredible Sir Patrick<br />
Moore planetarium. Students were amazed at the<br />
immersive, 360o degree 3D display, where the program<br />
‘CAPCOM GO’ taught them about the ‘Space Race’ and<br />
the history behind the Apollo Space Programmes of the<br />
60s and 70s.<br />
Another period of free time followed, including the allimportant<br />
trip to the souvenir shop, before we had to<br />
board the coach and make our way back down the M1 to<br />
London. The trip left our students full of excitement at<br />
what the future of space discovery holds for them (and<br />
potentially), what they could hold for it.<br />
Bradley King (Science Department)<br />
“My trip to the National Space Centre<br />
was jaw- dropping. The National<br />
Space Centre had attempted to find<br />
a way to fuse fun and education, and<br />
their attempt was successful. My favourite part was<br />
when I experienced the ‘Virtual Reality’ effect in the<br />
Planetarium. The experience was inexplicable due to<br />
the excitement that rushed through the heads of the<br />
year 7 and 8 who were lucky enough to take part”.<br />
Miya Dhaliwal (year 7)<br />
“I thought that the trip was extremely fun. It was<br />
interactive but also educational at the same time. There<br />
were opportunities for everyone to do something. My<br />
favourite part was when we were watching the video<br />
about space because I liked how it was in 360 degrees”.<br />
Umaima Mujeeb (year 7)<br />
“The trip to the Space Centre was extremely amazing<br />
and I have enjoyed every single moment including<br />
the Planetarium where we watched the 3D movie. I<br />
wish we could have the opportunity to do this again.<br />
Thank You”.<br />
