Alan Gosling and John Craythorne went back to school for a day on 8th March. We were invited to spend a day talking to and interacting with all the pupils and staff at Holly Meadows Primary School, Pott Road, near King’s Lynn.

With a variety of illustrated guides to Space, the Solar System, and the Universe at large, we also gave the youngest children the chance to be a part of a scale model of the Solar System using our 2m high image of the Sun and various fruits to represent the planets.

The day was a follow up to a very successful children and parent evening a few weeks earlier with over 150 people present and several telescopes set up outside for everyone to see first hand some of the wonders of the night sky.
