PUPILS at Hallow C of E Primary School are ''over the moon'' after having the opportunity to look at lunar dust and moon rock samples.
The samples were provided by the UK's Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council and collected during NASA's manned space missions to the moon in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
