As part of Learning Challenge Week, Year 5 had a very exciting visit from a special visitor who used to work at NASA, where he worked on the Mars rovers. He talked to us all about Mars and what it’s like to explore another planet. He also showed us some videos, which made us feel like we were really there on the red planet!

One of the most amazing parts was getting to hold real pieces of Mars and the Moon! We also passed around a piece of meteorite and some NASA mission patches, which made the whole experience feel even more special.

It was a fun, fascinating session, and we learnt so much about space and the incredible work NASA does!
