We thought it might be some kind of alternative music festival, however NASA’s Sun-Earth Day celebrations are far from it!
For the past ten years, NASA has been coordinating education and public outreach events to highlight the importance of the Sun-Earth connection, with the aim of bringing the general public and the gigantic field of space closer together.
Having launched our cross-curricular Quest for… Space workshops this academic year, our interest has naturally been piqued by this highly inclusive effort to demystify and make the topic of space accessible for us all.
This year’s Sun-Earth Day focuses on electromagnetic force and magnetic storms - did you know that the Earth’s magnetic field is declining in strength by 5% every century? There are plenty of resources on their website, including loads of interesting facts about magnetism, podcasts, tips for amateur astronomers and even a Facebook group for those who are more likely to stare at a computer screen than into a telescope!
If you’re interested in having one of our Quest for… Space workshops, drop us an email or give us a call on 0844 800 2870.

Did you know that the island of St Lucia is home to 170 000 people?
Or that a third of them live in the capital city of Castries? 
I didn’t but the facilitators who run our Caribbean Story and St Lucia, An Overseas Locality workshops did! They are also well aware that St Lucia’s Independence Day is fast approaching and takes place on 22nd February every year.
Every May, St Lucia holds their famous St Lucia Jazz Festival, which has featured some really exciting and high profile acts such as Dionne Warwick, Smokey Robinson and Al Green in the past. This year’s line up includes Maxi Priest and Foreigner.
While browsing the official Government of St Lucia website, we were very envious to see that the average temperature all year round is 25 degrees! The Freshwater team have decided that we should definitely pop over on a “research” expedition, preferably in the first week of May!
We offer drama workshops for students of all ages to help celebrate St Lucia’s Independence Day. Give us a call on 0844 800 2870 or email us for further information.
