8 January 2019 - 15 January 2019 Space continued
We have carried on learning about Space. We have read some books with a lot of interesting facts.
We printed out some constellations, made holes where the stars are and shone a torch through to see the constellation on the wall.
Vin made a tank with one of his Christmas presents. He later modified it into a "Venus rover" and has been playing lots with it pretending to explore the surface of Venus.
At the park we did some "astronaut training" to make sure we were fit and healthy to go into space! We helped with "spaceship maintenance too". Sanding down some of the information boards and cleaning them, ready for repainting.
Vin has continued painting his planets for his Solar System model and drawing pictures of each thing as we learn about it and writing a fact for our display.
We watched videos of how astronauts live on the International Space Station. Vin's favourite thing was seeing how the astronauts sleep with no gravity. We tried some space food ourselves.
Vin filled in some missing planet names on a big hopscotch outside and we played.
We did a mystery science lesson about the way the sun rises and sets.
We also did a mystery science lesson about the phases of the moon. We read some stories from around the world of what people have imagined lives on the moon based on the shapes you can see. Vin made up his own story of what Vinnie thought he could see and I wrote it down for him.
We worked out how much we would weigh on the moon. If we were on the moon, Vin would just about be able to lift me!
