This week was ‘National Space Week’ and the Beech class had fun learning about the different planets and how rockets travel! Here are some of our favourite photos from this week!
After reading the story ‘The Smeds & The Smoos’, we explored mixing colours. We mixed red and blue to make purple which is what happened when the red and blue characters from the story had a baby – it was a little purple Smoo-Smed!
We thought of different blue, red and purple foods and came up with a recipe to test our colour mixing predictions! We made a purple Alien Smoothie by mixing blueberries, strawberries, banana, and blackcurrant diluting juice. The foods blended together and made a very yummy purple smoothie!
We also created our own mini rockets using our handprints, coloured shapes, tissue paper & a giant straw to help it move!
We were very successful learners and enjoyed learning all about space through story telling.
