We have been busy finishing off some work this week but have also made time for some fun festive things.

Today, to complete our Space topic, we went to the science Centre to explore the space learning area and watched a fabulous film in the planetarium.

Having some fun with the naughty and nice posters while we had our snack!

Exploring our boxes and discussing ideas to construct our rocket

Sorting opposite feelings

Please send in any boxes or other materials we could use to make our space rocket on Monday to help us complete our project. Thank you!

This week Class 2 are beginning work on their arts projects linked to their space topic. They have chosen to make a model of a rocket.

We have the large boxes for the main body of the rocket but the children have been asked to think about what other materials they could use to create the other different parts of their rocket.

Please discuss ideas with your child and send in any materials they can find around the house that could be of use such as smaller boxes, bottles, bits of cardboard, foil etc.

Do not buy anything for this projects we want it made out of everyday items we have and can use. Thank you.

Materials required by THURSDAY 5th DECEMBER please!
