Helen Usher, from the Faulkes Telescope Project Team and a PhD Candidate at the Open University spent an afternoon with pupils at St Mary’s Catholic School in Bridgend, Wales (UK).

The school is getting stuck into the Comet Chaser project. The aim of the project is to deliver unique and engaging educational activities to primary schools that explore the observation and study of comets and other astronomical objects.

Check out the lovely images below of year 6 pupils getting their hands on some meteorites! They also spent the afternoon getting ready for the partial solar eclipse that occurred on the 10^th June.
