Would you like to meet a future astronaut?! Exciting news!!

It is with great excitement that I can reveal that we will be having a special guest at The Prince of Wales School in February 2018. The winner of 'Astronauts:Do you have what it takes' Dr Suzie Imber will be giving a talk!

The BBC program which was presented by former commander of the International Space Station Chris Hadfield put 11 candidates through a number of gruelling tests to see who had the qualities to be an astronaut. Dr Suzie Imber will now get a recommendation to join the ESA when they next select future astronauts!

In Year 1 we learn about the topic of Space in the New Year. We will be having a talk by Dr Imber along with the rest of the school. As well as learning about what it is to be an astronaut we will learn a lot about Tim Peake and Chris Hadfield who have both spent time on the ISS.

If you haven't watched the series then you can see it on catch up and also Tim Peake and Suzie Imber were on The One Show last night!

More information about the talk will be shared with everyone in the New Year but we can't wait!!
