This week we have been exploring space - we have learnt all about the planets and had a look at what an astronaut does. Lots of us think we would quite like to be astronauts when we grow up! We have read lots of space stories and alien stories and have even made up our own aliens and labelled them. We have also created a star wall with lots of space words.
We watched lots of clips of the moon landings and the solar system and sun - and we have talked about there being no gravity on the moon. It looked good fun trying to eat in space. We also found out that it would take 20 years in a jumbo jet to reach the Sun from Earth (Mrs Young won't be going because she hates flying and she'd be too old to enjoy it when she got there anyway).
On Thursday Mrs Mayers brought in a Space Rock. We looked at it closely and all agreed that it looks like it must have fell from Space ! How exciting !
We have had a go at making our own planets from papier mache and we used pictures to help us paint them the right colour.
In RE we have been thinking about Wedding Celebrations - we looked at photographs of weddings from Mrs Young and Mrs Ball. It was really funny as the children didn't recognise us - Jazlyn thought Mrs Young looked like Annie ! (Oh well - better than Mrs Hannigan I suppose). We pretended to have our own wedding with Elifnur and Tony:
Whoops ! They make a lovely couple though
In PE we are busy practising for Sports Day - here is a few photos of us racing:
The Bean Bag Race
The Egg and Spoon Race
On Friday we had a visit from a dancer. She taught us a brilliant Chinese dance - it was great fun !
There was a fantastic dance performance at the end of the day for the whole school and all the Grasshoppers joined in fantastically. Mrs Young was very impressed!
See you next week
