Rocket making
On Saturday the 21st January the BBC stargazing theme was continued, this time led by a group called Caterpillar Crafts who ran two workshops for children and young people with disabilities or additional needs and their families.
The cosmic crafts on offer included rocket making, a theatre show and a walk along the Park’s very own astronomy trail.
The launch
A member from another of the local astronomy clubs, the Hampshire Astronomical Group (HAG) was on hand to give the audience a virtual tour of the solar system. For more information about the club please go to www.hantsastro.org.uk
Caterpillar Crafts will be running many other themed activities at QECP throughout the year. The next date is the 16th of February when the subject will be adventurous activities including cycling and den building.
