We used markup to become astronauts on an alien planet. We look good!

A great day full of team work and problem solving- we’ll all sleep well tonight!

Lastly we used some natural resources to make some fantastic space art.

We then crashed landed onto an unknown planet and had to find somewhere to shelter!

Rm 11 began our outdoor space day with a STEM task - we designed our own space rockets and then tested them to see how far they went!

Fantastic job today R12!

What a fantastic day of outdoor learning! We made natural art, modelled the solar system to scale, dreamt of being astronauts, and investigated craters.

We are having a day of Outdoor Learning to celebrate our Space topic. First, we had to build shelters to keep us safe when we landed on an alien planet. We had so much fun as we developed our teamwork and technology skills.

We are so,so proud of the artwork we did today in R12 . We worked really hard and listened very carefully. We think they all look fantastic!
