This week we have been very busy making Rocket pictures as part of our Space topic.  Here we are using different shapes, materials and, of course, lots and lots of glitter to make our pictures sparkly.

  

  

…..and here are some of our completed rocket pictures!

  

   

Last week we read the story of Aliens love Underpants so we painted some Aliens and designed our own Underpants for our aliens to wear.  We now have these on display in our classroom too.

  

We hope the Aliens we painted recently, as well as Mike the Monster and Buzz Lightyear, who live  in our classroom just now, like our designs.

  

This week some of us completed our First Homework Challenge to make a Rocket Desk Tidy and brought them into school.  They are all fantastic and we are looking forward to more coming in over the next few weeks!

  

  

This week we talked about how fit and healthy a person would have to be to be an astronaut.  We are going to try to improve our fitness this term as if we were going to become astronauts.  We started this week at P.E. by doing some relay races in the gymhall.  First we checked our heart rate before our races, then compared our heart rate after.  It was much faster!   Then we practised skipping with skipping ropes.  It was fun and we hope to improve our skipping skills this term.  We have P.E. on Monday and Tuesday so we have to remember to bring in our gym kits for those days.

In Literacy we started to write a recipe for a Monster meal.  We’ll finish this next week and let you see some of our ideas.  We just hope they’re not too yummy  in case we get some real Monsters and Aliens coming to our class to try them out.  That would be too scary!!

  

In Maths we’re still doing a bit of revision as well as looking at numbers to 100 and addition to 20.  We used number fans this week to show our answers.  It was fun so we’re going to use them again next week.

More from P2a soon – until then bye from us all….oh and some special smiles from Leo and Ellis!
