This week we have continued to explore 'Space'. We have been learning about our Solar System (please click on the above link).

We have been busy doing lots of activities such as:

• finding out information about the planets in our solar system
• writing facts about the moon
• describing an illustration from 'Man on the Moon' by Simon Bartram 
• creating an obstacle course on the moon
• using oil pastels to create our solar system on our marble background
• making 3D rockets
• working together to build the International Space Station
• exploring ways of making different totals by counting alien's eyes
• naming and using 2D shapes to create rockets
• drawing aliens using illustrations from books
• playing an addition game with rockets and planets

We have also enjoyed learning facts from these videos too!
