Class 2 asked this question and many more to find out about what happened when Neil Armstrong walked on the moon in 1969. Our visitor was Mr Hayfield, Miss Hayfield’s dad, who remembers watching that very special event on television. Here are a few of our questions and answers.
Victory: Was your television black and white?
Mr Hayfield: Yes it was and the picture was very grainy so it was hard to see what was happening. In fact at first the picture was upside down!
Malikyle: How did you feel when you were watching it?
Mr Hayfield: It was very exciting. Lots of my friends went to bed because it was late but I wanted to stay up to watch it. I was very tired at work the next day.
Blubelle: Do you think the world changed after Neil Armstrong walked on the moon?
Mr Hayfield: I think it was a very important event so yes. Everyone was talking about it afterwards. I don’t think it will happen again now so it was very special that he did it.
Tito: Did it make you want to walk on the moon?
Mr Hayfield: Yes it did. I think everyone wanted to after they had watched it!
When I learned about Neil Armstrong it was incredible. I really liked learning about Neil Armstrong and what it would feel like if you were in space.
It must have been amazing!
Neil had a family. I loved learning about Neil Armstrong. It was really fun.
It was very interesting – my favourite part was seeing the photos and trying on the hat.
Neil must’ve done lots of maths in class
I wish I’d had lived in the 1960s in Ohio, USA I might’ve met him
I wish I worked for NASA!
I like science because you can learn how to build a roket and how to go tothe moon. It is fun.
