St Peter-in-Thanet CE Junior School

| January 4, 2024

In October 2023 pupils from St Peter-in-Thanet CE Junior School in Broadstairs had an ARISS-UK contact with NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli, KI5WSL on board the International Space Station. It seems their fascination for the cosmos continues to grow.

On 28 November 2023, a group of more than a hundred people, including both students and their families, gathered for a stargazing session in Ramsgate. The session was delivered by volunteers from Ramsgate Stargazer, including RSGB volunteer and Hilderstone Amateur Radio Society member John Hislop, G7OHO. John also helps run the STEAMettes club at the school.

The students’ experience was covered by the local newspaper – you can find out more on The Isle of Thanet News website
