View PostScience at Callerton Academy: A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for Stellar Futures, our family stargazing evening hosted by the Science Department in partnership with Kielder Observatory. Although cloudy skies meant outdoor observations weren't possible, the evening was still full of curiosity and discovery. Students and families explored the universe inside the inflatable planetarium, used a virtual telescope to travel through space, and got hands-on with UV bracelet making. It was brilliant to see such enthusiasm for science beyond the classroom, shared together with families, and made possible through this fantastic collaboration. A truly inspiring evening of learning and wonder #CallertonAcademy #GosforthGroup #ScienceAtCA #StellarFutures #KielderObservatory #STEM #FamilyLearning #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #CuriosityInAction
