Pupils at Cherhill Primary School got stuck into science on Monday, January 12, with visits from the European Space Agency and the National Trust.

The children dressed up as various people who use science at their workplace and took part in a range of science sessions.

Years 5 and 6 had a visit from Paul Hill from the European Space Agency and carried out investigations to see whether there might be life on Mars.

Years 3 and 4 were visited by science teacher Helen O’Neill from the John Bentley School in Calne to learn about rocks, soil and volcanoes while Keith Steggall from the National Trust investigated soil and different local rocks with Years 1 and 2.
