Rocket Mice & Rockets

We continued to learn about space today.  We watched the Earth “float”; we made rockets and we set our rocket mice into space.   We had some great ideas in our designs and learned from one another.

We also watched a clip of Chris Hadfield going to his bed on the Space Station.  He zipped himself up in a sleeping bag, which was tied to the wall.

Our active morning

It is Monday morning which means one thing … P.E! Mr Higgins set up an amazing obstacle course for us and we loved it! We had to crawl under a net, dodge through cones, climb under hurdles and jump off of a tall ramp. A perfect start to set us up for our day ahead 👍

We are tall with big feet!

We continued measuring today.  This time we were using centimetres to measure.  We drew round our shoes and measured the outline.  Charleen had the biggest feet with 23cm.   Mrs Wheatley measured our height on the door with a metre stick.  Charleen is also the tallest person in the class.

Measure

We were using cubes to measure different lengths of wool today.  We had to place the cubes beside the different lengths and see the differences.  We then developed this by measuring each other.

Easter cakes

We had a great time this afternoon making these scrumptious Easter nest cakes. We washed our hands in the kitchen, melted chocolate and mixed with cornflakes. We then added our little eggs to finish our cakes off. We discussed food allergies and some of the children used special gluten free cornflakes.

We are so excited to try them at home !
