Pupils at Hethersett Old Hall School have had an introduction to stargazing this term.
The school’s Parents’ Association has kindly funded a telescope and Mr Matt Lutkins, head of science, who is an avid star gazer, now hopes to interest many of our pupils in the wonders of astronomy.
Our Year 1 boys and girls spent some time with him last week as part of their study theme of ‘Light and Dark’. Luckily the moon was very visible during the morning and all pupils were able to get a good view of it through the telescope, thoroughly enjoying the novel experience.
Mr Lutkins is now launching an Astronomy Club for all pupils including activities such as astrophotography.
