Whatever Next!

This week we began looking at our new topic of Space. The children have been talking a lot about aliens so we decided to find out a bit more about space.

We began by reading the story of 'Whatever Next!' and acting out the story with a cardboard box, Wellington boots and a colander! 

                                      

We used chalks to draw our own alien pictures. 

                                     

We used papier mâché to cover balloons to make into planets. We are going to make our own space station and visit other planets to find out what else is in space. 

       

We also made our own rockets and we're practising counting backwards ready for 'Blast Off'!
