We have been busy in class finding out about the planets, the relationship between the sun, moon and Earth, the phases of the moon, the first man on the moon and lots more.

We made models to show the orbits of Earth around the sun and the moon around Earth as well as printing the phases of the moon using gold and silver paint and crumpets!

 

 

 

 

 

We have had some fun listening to space-themed fiction books. After reading Aliens love Underpants by Claire Freedman we have started to make our own collage aliens  have spatter-painted paper for the background of our wall display in the style of Jackson Pollock like this one.

 

 

 

 

 

We are busy paint some of the parts to build a rocket after one reading group had a book about this very topic.

 

Pupils have been keen to share what they know – and they know a lot – as well as to find out more about certain topics. We have a large collection of non-fiction books for reading and researching in class and some people have brought items in from home to help us learn even more.
