Activities enjoyed by pupils, parents and carers included naming the phases of the moon using biscuits, making an astronaut’s breakfast and using an iPad app to explore the sky at night.
Members of the Astronomical Society were on hand to explain all about the universe and demonstrate how to use telescopes to view the stars.
