Year 5's Out-of-This-World Adventure! Last Tuesday, our Year 5 children had an incredible day at the National Space Centre! They explored the wonders of space, deepened their science learning, and even experienced a spectacular Planetarium Show that brought their studies to life. It was a truly inspiring visit and the children were amazing ambassadors for Temple Meadow throughout the day. A huge thank you to our staff for making this experience possible and to our families for your support in helping us provide such memorable learning opportunities.
