The blog is back up and running again. I was having issues with uploading photographs from my iPad so apologies for the delay in uploads!<\/p>\n

We have now completed out Weather topic but as the Winter months are coming up we will continue to extend the learning through this! We are hoping it snows this year so we get to look at the properties of water and do lots of ice related science.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To begin our science topic, we read \u2018Back to Earth with a Bump\u2019. It is a Twinkl story the children adored! It is all about a boy whose bed turns into a rocket! He has a mission to explore space and try to find the Sun. On his search, he comes across lots of things in the Solar System. We did a lot of predicting about what comes next in the story.<\/p>\n

It taught them about the Sun, the Moon and the stars. It also was good to recap our old learning about Day and Night and that when the sun is facing us it is day, and when it is not, it is night! There are some amazing graphics to demonstrate this inside the book.<\/p>\n

We hope to go on our own Space adventure just like Hal did in the story, so we made Intergalactic Passports. We know that to fly somewhere on Earth we need a passport so that the people in the airport know that it is us. So in order to go to space, we need a passport!<\/p>\n

Inside we drew a portrait, wrote our names, age, what we look like and some of us said what our favourite planet was! Here is an example.<\/p>\n

The children really love learning about the planets and already have their favourites. We learn them through these songs and videos which they enjoy. Feel free to use the links below to listen to them at home!<\/p>\n
