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!
