Space Week

This week we are celebrating Space Week in class. A lot of our lessons this week have a space theme. In Geography we are comparing the surface of Earth to the surface of Mars. In History we are studying momentous moments in Space History and learning about the history of the Rosetta space probe and writing a time-line. In Art we will be creating and designing a martian that has adapted to life on Mars, and also using clay and sand to create a terrain which is similar to Mars. In English we will be applying for a job as an astronaut on the very first human mission to Mars. In Music we will be listening and responding to Gustav Holt 'The Planets'. Oh I almost forgot to mention that in Science we will be designing and launching our very rockets into space! It's going to be an exciting week-watch this space for all the updates!
