Space Fun

Over the past few weeks we have been learning about space.  Today we enjoyed watching a youtube video of Apollo 11 landing on the moon! We knew that 3 astronauts went to space in  Apollo 11  but we didn't know if they all went on the moon or all of their names:

We discovered using the internet that only 2 of the astronauts landed on the moon- Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin.  Michael Collins , the third astronaut, had to stay in the rocket and orbit the moon taking photos and carrying out experiments.  

Today w have had such a lot of fun blowing up balloons to make our own rockets, walking on stilts across the moon and jumping to get fit like an astronaut. 

 These wonderful children all received REACH awards this week.  Some were for being very Caring class members and some for showing Excellence in their schoolwork.  Well done! 

 Check out these future engineers- they have been watching the building of the new Ashley bridge and were keen to have a go at designing and building their own with blocks!
