And the winning team, with the most points, was …..!

Yesterday afternoon, we pretended that we were walking on the moon in moon boots (Wellies really!).  We stepped in flour and then looked at the marks that our wellies made.  Just like an astronaut.

What an amazing morning we had.  We learned all about the planets in our solar system and watched an alien adventure which taught us about the weather in outer space.

Today we did a treasure hunt.  We had to answer clues which were all about science and make predictions about what would happen.  It was lots of fun.

This afternoon the children in Pips made moon rocks using bicarbonate of soda and food colouring.  They then dripped vinegar on them using pipettes and were amazed at the bubbling, fizzing ‘rocks’.

This week we have looked at where we live on planet Earth using Google Earth.  We have put the planets in order of size using different sized balls and we have made a moon surface and created craters by dropping stones onto the moon surface.  Today some of us made aliens using balloons with tails to see where they went when we let go of them.
