P.5/4 have been enjoying designing and creating their own space craft over the last week or so. During the parents’ open morning we started our designs based on what we had already found out about space craft and these success criteria:

• I can include the following features of a space craft in my design:
  • Rockets to provide the thrust needed for launching into space.
  • A fuel tank.
  • Compartments to carry astronauts and their equipment.

Currently, we are creating our space craft out of all kinds of ‘junk’ that would otherwise just be recycled e.g. drinks bottles, cereal boxes, plastic tubs etc.

Watch this space for photos of our completed creations!
