My name is Maria, I’m teaching Seniors and First Class for the second year in a row in a rural Cork school.
My favourite space fact is about the rings around Saturn.These rings are made up of ice, dust, and tiny rocks, and they sparkle like glitter when sunlight hits them. Saturn is so big that over 760 Earths could fit inside it! I explain to the children that even though it’s far away in space, scientists have sent special spacecraft to take pictures of Saturn and its amazing rings.
