Yesterday Year 5 went to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. There we talked to astronomers who helped us further our knowledge about the planets, new solar system discoveries and experience what it would be like for an astronaut to be living in space. To top off the day, we attended the screening of ‘Final Frontier’ in the spectacular planetarium. Here we were taken on a visual journey of exoplanets and the strange new worlds that astronomers are discovering.

Have you heard about NASA’s most recent discovery of seven Earth sized planets orbiting TRAPPIST-1?
