Blasting off to space!

  Our superstars this week are: Jonah  and  Teddie for responsibility and reflectiveness.  Well done both of you. We started this half term off with a BLAST as we began our space topic.  We began by reading Astro-Girl and finding out about Mae Jemison.  We thought about the pros and cons about visiting space and why we would or wouldn't want to. Our classroom changed into a space station where we made our own space rockets and then used these to blast into space.  Some of us went to Mars and met aliens, one went to Jupiter and some went to the moon where we had a picnic.  We all agreed that it was nice to be back home on Earth.

  Our superstars this week are: Evie  and  Zeke for responsibility and reflectiveness.  Well done both of you.

To finish our dinosaur topic we made a large dinosaur skeleton out of cardboard tubes.  The tubes were different lengths and sizes, we used sellotape to join them together and then hung the dinosaur from the ceiling with wool.  We wrote labels for the neck, head, legs, tail and feet.  We were very proud of what we had made.
