As you may remember the children had a great time creating their robot alien a few weeks ago. To continue along that theme, we decided to make our own spaceship! Luckily we had a huge box that was exactly what we needed. After much discussion, it was decided how it should look, that it was to be painted red, and off to work we went displaying great teamwork.
It was great fun imagining where to go and we chatted about what planet would be the best. This led us on to learning all about the planets in our solar system. We learned a great way to remember the planets by saying this sentence My Very Excellent Mom Just Served Us Noodles
We decided that we would like to make some planets using balloons, newspaper and wallpaper paste. Everyone really enjoyed the texture of the paste and spreading the paper with their hands. We are still in the process of painting them before we hang them up for all to admire.
“the paste feels slimy and cold”
“it’s very gooey”
”I like how it feels slimy”
“This is where we live on planet earth”
Who knows where our imagination will take us next!
