Did you know that if the Earth was the size of a marble, the Sun would be a 6 metre wide ball and that they would need to be a distance of 25 football pitches apart?  Year 5 and 6 pupils know this because they were visited by representatives from the Royal Air Force, Royal Navy and BAE systems for an amazing Science Show that explored technology used in our deepest oceans and above us in space.

The children learnt how important communication is when you live in a submarine or a space shuttle but also played games which demonstrated how tricky that communication actually is.

We love our Science at Braunstone Frith Primary Academy so it is always nice to be able to share our enthusiasm and knowledge with visitors: they were really impressed with the questions the pupils asked – we may even have some budding engineers for the future.
