Constellations
This week we ventured into drama to use the facilities in the drama studio. We were looking into constellations and how we can see them in our night sky. We were very lucky to have two STEM ambassadors in school to talk to us about their knowledge of astronomy and astrophysics. One ambassador was from UCLAN called Anne Sansom and the other was Claire Burke who is an ex-pupil from Priory and is now studying a PHD in astrophysics at JMU. They showed two very detailed and eye opening power points about our universe. Our challenge is to now make our own constellations and see if we can see Jupiter in the night sky this week. If you have a pair of binoculars why don’t you see if you can see Jupiter this week – it is the big red spot right about your head.
