Space adventures!

The group were clearly excited after discussing their space mission and couldn't wait for blast off. The adventure to the Moon, Mars and back to Earth was planned. Before building their rocket using the large shapes they put their space boots on, Scarlett reminded them about having enough rocket petrol. Albert drew a blue rocket using the chalk and Isobel drew the Earth. She used the green and blue chalk. “The blue is the water and the green is the grass.”

As blast off approached they chatted and giggled. “We might see some naughty Aliens.” Shouted Harry. Countdown began 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-0 BLAST OFF!

Leah steered the rocket into space. Within seconds they'd arrived on the moon.

“Let's be naughty Aliens.” Laughed Harry.

Bentley smiled and said, “okay.”

The children jumped off the rocket and pretended to space walk across the grass. When they reached the bark area they jumped up and down.

“We’re on the moon.” Laughed Ruby.

Harry and Bentley hid in the wooden box. The rest of the group crept into the other one. James, Ruby and Isobel wanted to get the Aliens some food. “I think they'll eat this” Isobel held up some bark and James held up a leaf. Harry wanted to know how they were going to get back to school. Problem sorted, “We can count backwards to blast off.” he said. No time to visit Mars, we’ll save that for another day. They boarded the rocket and landed safely at 2.30pm just in time for snack.

A great session with some very enthusiastic Astronauts.
