UP AND UP, HIGHER AND HIGHER
Following on from the children's fascination with looking at the world on Google maps last week, we talked about how the world would look from space. The children then created the world using lots of materials from around the room. They were surprised by how much water was in our world!
Later in the week children wanted to create the world!
The children asked lots of questions about space and the moon. We watched Tim Peake taking off for the space station and afterwards the children made their own rocket and blasted off into space!
We thought about what you had to learn to be an astronaut and we looked at photos of the fixing jobs Tim Peake has to do when he is wearing his thick gloves.
We tested out whether wearing thick gloves made a difference to doing things with your fingers. It did!
