Our Class Star

I recieved the final notification certificate for our class Star today! We are proud to officially own the star St Clare!

Space Topic

As we are finishing our Space topic we talked about our favourite activities and the things we learned.

We recorded our ideas on coloured paper!

Christmas Pudding

We made Christmas Pudding by mixing all the ingredients together and placing them in a cake tin. The children made wishes over the mixture! The cake will be ready to decorate in a few weeks!

Pizza

Yesterday we met a new friend called the Unhealthy Alien, and all he ate was was Pizza, ice cream and sweets! We decided to make him a healthy Pizza to show him how yummy vegetables can be!

We all had the chance to spread tomato puree on the base,and then spinkle on some cheese, and then add lots of toppings such as mushrooms, peppers, sweetcorn and ham! We then cooked the pizzas in the oven and watched how the cheese melted and the vegetables cooked!

After the Pizza had cooled, we cut them up into slices and all enjoyed tasting them! They were delicious!

Our photos below show how we made the Pizzas!

Library trip

Today we enjoyed visiting the library. We listened to the story of Farmer duck and enjoyed joining in with the story! Lots of parents helped voice some of the characters which was very funny!

Star Co-ordinates

Our Star is called St Clare. If you wish to attempt to locate our class's star it can be found using the AXAF Guide and Acquisition Star Catalogue.

The ID for this is 21255360

Co-ordinates are as folllows:

Right Ascension (RA): 7h 2m 57.7s
Declination (DEC): +0 degrees, 44' 17.4"

Good luck!

Phoneme Frames

This week in school the children will be practising writing words using phoneme frames. The blank frame helps them to think carefully about each individual sound in a word and decide where to put it. Below is an example, please feel free to use this technique at home to help your child attempt to write new words.

Passports!

We have been making Intergalactic passports so we can travel into Space! We stuck in our pictures and wrote our details! The children loved showing eachother their pictures and writing their age!

Space Training School

The children loved attending our Space Training Camp today!!! They had to complete an assault course set up in the playground which included climbing, balancing, jumping and turning! All the children received a Certificate for passing Astronaut Training! Myself, Mrs Brooker and Mrs Carmichael wore our 'Training Leader' Badges and awarded the children with their certificates!

Miss Smith

Glad to hear many of you have enjoyed looking at the blog over the weekend!
Thank you for your comments!

This week we have been learning Neil Armstong (first man to land on the moon). The children enjoyed watching the video footage of the First Moon Landing from 1969!

Miss Smith

We made Star Gazer Telescopes to look for stars in the night sky!

Our Class Star!

We have very kindly been bought a Star by a Parent! We have registered our Star as 'St Clare' which is very exciting! I will post the star co-ordinates when the registration details are found so you can find it yourselves at home!

Display

I thought I would share our finished 'Aliens Love Underpants' Display board. The children are very proud of our sewing!

Whatever Next!

We have been reading the story 'Whatever Next' by Jill Murphy, and enjoyed acting out the story!

We also enjoyed making a starry night sky by throwing tennis balls dipped in paint onto black paper!

Space!

The children are really enjoying playing in our Space Ship (in our role play area). They have been to the moon, exlored stars and flown back again!
You may see the children playing Space role play at home! Feel free to leave a comment about it!!!!

Miss Smith

Last week the class enjoyed starting our Space Dictionaries! The children added their first word 'Alien'. We hope that by the end of our Space topic, we have filled them with many Space themed words!
