Wallace and Gromit Rocket Launch at Spaceport!
Bring your class to Spaceport and join us for a Wallace and Gromit rocket launching workshop. Inspired by Wallace’s love of inventing, pupils will get the unique opportunity to experience a fun and creative Wallace and Gromit rocket session including the chance to launch a rocket using compressed air. There will also be original film animation sets to see and pupils will be able to get hands-on at the clay station.
The workshops are FREE* and all pupils will be given a FREE Wallace & Gromit rocket making kit to take back to school. Workshops are available from 8 November 2011 to 27 April 2012 (term time only). Places are limited and will be available on a first come, first served basis - to avoid disappointment book now!
Spaceport is a £10m attraction covering the subjects of space and space travel and is currently hosting the Wallace & Gromit in Space exhibition. Wallace & Gromit make the perfect partners for your class to explore the solar system through hands-on exhibits and lots of opportunities to make and create. Pupils will also enjoy our amazing 360 degree Space Planetarium Show and simulator ride.
