On Wednesday, 18 March Year 7 had an external visitor from Space Store to deliver an assembly on space and the experiences of astronauts. Thank you to Miss C Mohamed for organising this incredible experience!

Today, we were lucky enough to meet someone whose job it is to understand space. It was a great opportunity for us all to not only learn about the mysteries of space but also be inquisitive and ask him any questions we had. He talked about the different space suits and how astronauts are able to get to space both safely and successfully. Despite how intriguing the overall topic is, we were also made aware of the risks that could happen if you are sat in a rocket for an extremely long period of time.  Your body can become very familiar with the atmosphere in space that when you step foot on Earth, it doesn't know how to react! He even bought a replica astronaut suit and we were fortunate enough to see our Learning Co-Ordinator, Miss Strachan, wear it! This assembly has by far been one of the most amazing and special assemblies yet!

Today's assembly was amazing! We got to have a person whose work is about space to come to our school. It was a privilege to have someone like that come and talk about the mysteries of space and how us humans even get to space safely. The person talked about the different astronaut suits that are made for the people and their purpose. For example, there is one for when they are just inside the spacecraft and one for when they are in actual space. He even brought a replica of one of the suits and our Learning co-ordinator, Miss Strachan, wore it and walked around in it! At the end, we could interact and ask questions about space and how the astronauts launch into it. It was probably the most special assembly yet.
