Space Week Trip to Mary I

We had such a fun day on Friday 10th October when we went to Mary I to their craft maker workshop during Space week. We had a great time on the bus singing songs and telling jokes and we were a little early so we got to go for a little walk around the area and spot some native Irish trees that we have been learning about in Science too. We heard a lot about Space and the moon and how far away they are from us and we even got to hear about space inventions we see here on Earth everyday! We learned about geodomes and how they are used in Space and on the moon and then we put our science coats on and set to work on some scientific challenges. We had to created 3d cubes and triangles and once we mastered that we were set a mega challenge where we had to design, plan, explore and create our very own 3D geodomes. Take a look at our video from the day, we were extreamely busy bees and who knows, we might make it to space ourselves some day!! Thanks very much to the staff in Mary I for having us!
