Year 4 At The Greenwich Royal Observatory

Year 4 at The Greenwich Royal Observatory

Year 4 Eagle Class visited the Greenwich Royal Observatory, where they took part in a workshop learning about the relative sizes of the sun, moon and earth and the time it takes for the earth to orbit. They then watched a planetarium show in which they looked at different constellations and how the surfaces of the planets in our solar systems differ.

It was a really special trip and the children loved it.
