Year Five pupils from Holyhead Primary Academy recently enjoyed a hands-on learning experience at the National Space Centre in Leicester, enhancing their understanding of space exploration and its historical significance.
The visit gave pupils the chance to engage with interactive exhibits and explore cutting-edge science in a fully immersive environment. From life-sized rockets to training simulations, the experience aimed to spark scientific curiosity and bring classroom learning to life.
Natalie Shipley, Principal at Holyhead Primary Academy, said: “Seeing the children so inspired and eager to learn was truly rewarding. Experiences like this make learning real and memorable. It’s not just about knowledge, it’s about igniting a lifelong love of discover and the world around us.”
The trip was both educational and empowering, allowing pupils to explore their curiosity and extend their learning beyond the traditional classroom. It is expected to leave a lasting impression, becoming a cherished memory for many years to come.
