You might remember when pupils from East Herrington Primary went to the Kennedy Space Centre in 2007.

Or perhaps you were there on the day students from Hill View Infants got some space seeds from astronaut Tim Peake in 2016.

And have a look at the time when pupils at Town End Academy had a space day in 2013.

Here’s hoping we have lift-off with lots of scenes which bring back great memories for you.
