Amazing Astronomers

Our wonderful little GCSE Astronomers came out to the first of three Saturday 'Masterclasses'. This is after an Astronomy residential last weekend!

We borrowed a local church for the day and this is my colleague E explaining how Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of the Earth. As you do on a Saturday afternoon.

Most of the pupils are 13 years old and have been amazingly motivated. They deserve to do very well in the examination next May :)

And now it's rest time for the teachers!
