Tim Peake's Space Adventure!

This morning Years 2-6 had a very exciting opportunity to watch the British Astronaut Major Tim Peake blast off from Kazakhstan to join the International Space Station.

It was fabulous to hear the presenters of Stargazing Live (including Chris Hadfield - an American Astronaut  who has been to the International Space Station 3 times before) talk us through the launch including how all the different groups of rocket boosters watched.


We will remember this forever this is a moment to be remembered in history as Tim Peake was the first British man to visit the international space station. Year 6 watched it being broadcast live on BBC 2 and are looking forward to watching the Soyuz capsule (the rocket which flew Tim and the other astronauts to space) joining up with the International Space Station tonight.
