We are learning about 'Space'.

This half term, our topic is space and we have been learning all about planets, stars, the moon and rockets.  We have read some stories about space and stars, including 'Whatever Next!' by Jill Murphy and 'The Star That Fell' by Karen Hayles.  Last week we made 'Moon Rock Cakes' which were delicious. We've got our very own 'Space Station' role-play area where we can dress up as astronauts, look for planets and fill out the space ship's log.  We've been playing with a small world space station and have really enjoyed making rockets and space ships out of lego and other construction kits. We have also made some super pictures of rockets using 2D shapes.  Next week, we are going to design and make our own rockets using junk modelling resources.  It would be really helpful if everyone could bring in a plastic bottle they could use to make their rocket.
