Journey into Space
Early and First Level - In-person Workshop
Class Level: P1 – P3
Duration: 45 minutes
During this interactive story, pupils will participate in imagining the journey of a lifetime. Blast off from the Earth, visit the sun and the moon and discover what life is like in space! We’ll help pupils develop an idea of the scale of the universe and our position within it. They will even handle real 4.5-billion-year-old meteorites, and collect a sample of Moon rock!
