Year 3, 5 and 6 pupils at Redstart Primary Academy recently enjoyed a truly out of this world experience when they welcomed the spectacular Space Odyssey to the school.
Space Odyssey is a mobile 360° 3D planetarium that delivers immersive space and biology education through high-resolution, interactive simulations, bringing complex scientific concepts vividly to life for pupils.
The workshops were led by astronomer Simon Ould, an experienced science teacher and Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society. Pupils explored our solar system and learned about the planets within it during sessions that were both breathtakingly immersive and highly inspirational.
The experience sparked curiosity, encouraged thoughtful questions and deepened pupils understanding of space science in a memorable and engaging way.
Roger Hunt, class teacher, said: “The Space Odyssey visit was an incredible experience for our pupils.
“The level of engagement was outstanding, and the children were completely captivated.
“It really brought their learning to life and inspired a genuine sense of wonder about the universe.”
The school would like to thank Space Odyssey for providing such an unforgettable educational experience that will continue to inspire learning long after the planetarium has gone.
