We’ve blasted off with our space topic this week and spent our time looking at different aspects of space, including the planets and what it’s like to be an astronaut.
At the start of each new topic we always find out what the children already know and whenever we begin our space topic are always amazed by the fascinating facts some of the children already know and their knowledge on the subject.
The children have enjoyed exploring the new enhancements in the indoor and outdoor environment designed to encourage them to play and explore, spark their imaginations, challenge themselves and make connections.
Junk modelling and printing with 3D shapes in the creative area
Space colouring
It’s been lovely to hear 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 blast off! multiple times every few minutes as the children get into character in our space centre role play.
Small world play with space characters and rockets!
Space themed maths games and continuing to explore 3D shapes
Lots of writing opportunities
Look at our rocket!!
