Our Solar System, by Miss Howells
Date: 9th Nov 2017 @ 12:13pm
In our big book sessions this week, we have been learning new facts about planets by reading a non fiction book called Our Solar System.
The children have been really good at remembering fact about space, especially planet names.
Today we decided to focus on the order of the planets in the solar system. Children were chosen to represent the planets, the sun and some stars. The child who represented the sun stood in the middle of the room and the other children walked around them just like the planets orbit the sun. Children who were the stars stood in a star shape and moved around the room i.e the galaxy.
We then watched some videos and songs about the order of the planets.
When you pick your child up from school, ask them what they know about planets. They will amaze you.
Well done reception.
Space News, by Miss Howells
Date: 9th Nov 2017 @ 11:54am
We have some exciting news.
A spaceship has been seen on our school's cameras and has made a big mess in our outdoor area.
Whilst the children have been outside they have used their imagination and found lots and lots of different clues that the spaceship has left for us. Some children have even found mud on the shed which they believe are 'footsteps'.
The children are so excited about what will happen next.
We have voted on what we think was flying the spaceship and most children think it might be aliens but we do not know for sure.
This has been a fantastic start to our new topic, space. All children have been engaged and have used some brilliant language throughout their play because of it.
