Space Goes to School Programme
To celebrate Science Week, 2nd and 3rd class took part in the Space Goes to School Programme. We had a video call with Evan Slattery, a space engineer from County Limerick. Evan told us all about how he first became interested in space and showed us lots of cool videos. He spoke about the first landing on the Moon and the many inspirational astronauts who have travelled to space. We then had time for a Q and A where Evan answered our questions. One question we asked was ‘Is there Covid in space?’ The answer is ‘No!’ Astronauts must quarantine before going to work on the International Space Station. We had great fun chatting with Evan. It was a fantastic way to celebrate Science Week!
Happy Science Week!
Today 2nd and 3rd Class were very busy designing Science Week posters to display around our school. Tomorrow we are taking part in the Esero Space Goes to School Programme. We will have a video conference with Evan Slattery, an engineer from County Limerick who is doing a Masters in Space Studies at the International Space University in Strasbourg. We can’t wait to learn more about Space and to share with you some of the interesting facts we learn. Happy Science Week from all in 2nd and 3rd Class!
