Calling all stargazers and budding astronauts this October half term!
Make a mini rocket you can launch into space, well almost, with puff power, create your own constellation projector to shine on your bedroom wall at night and have a play with our moon dough. Remember ‘Mercury’s Volcanoes Erupt Mulberry Jam Sandwiches Until Noon’ and the planets will align. With each exciting new space discovery, we can better understand and help our planet Earth, an oasis for life, to thrive.
