BUDDING rocket scientists were shooting for the stars at Tattenhall Park Primary School.

Commercial Space company Star Chaser sent an outreach team to the Chester Road school to take part in its science week.

Star Chaser’s Paul Butler delivered a workshop for Year 4 and 5 pupils who were taught how to build rockets from household items which were blasted safely into the Cheshire countryside sky.

A company spokesman said: “Our educational activities complement the national curriculum and help inspire students at all levels. “

The team visits more than 200 schools every year.
