Little Wrens 1: Space
Mrs Agnew: June 2020
5, 4, 3, 2, 1 ....blast off!!! We have launched ourselves into space this week becoming superstar astronauts making our very own space station. The children enjoyed designing their own rockets using and naming various shapes. We have loved constructing rocket jet packs and control boards with our junk modelling, we then used these in our imaginative play.
We watched a clip of a rocket launch and recreated the sounds ourselves through music ...we were so loud we nearly launched the whole school into space! We have loved singing space themed rhymes, making up our own dances and sharing space story books.
We have made and labelled our own healthy astronaut packed lunches to take on our journey. The children have discovered a new planet and named it Goonagand, apparently it snows on Goonagand! ...so we indulged in some sensory play with shaving foam, rocks, gems and cotton wool balls ... great messy fun!

What a great day we have had today! Our day began with weaving — learning a new skill and making our very own bracelets. After this, we visited a round house. We learnt about how it was made in the modern day and how it may have been made in the past. We also learnt about life in the round house; how food was cooked, where people slept and what people used as tools to help them to go about their...
