University Life!

On Monday 7th December Year 5 were very privileged to attend a mini lecture at Southampton University in Highfield. After a great morning at Intech we headed to the university where we were greeted by some of the students, Kirstin (Outreach and Partnership Officer for the university) and space expert Ian.

Firstly, we learnt a little bit about what life at university was like-it sounds lots of fun!! Then we had a really fascinating and funny lecture about Earth and Space. We found out lots of interesting information but here are our top facts !

• We have all been hit by a shooting star for in each drop of rain is a microscopic piece of a shooting star .
• The earth spins round at 900 miles an hour.
• Space is only a mere 100 km away from the Earth.
  
  
  
  After the lecture we all 'graduated' but more of that next week!

A big thank you to Ian , Kirstin and all the Students at Southampton University!

We had a great day!!
