The Rabbits have been learning about Neil Armstrong and used role play to help them to remember some key facts about his mission to the moon. ‘Astronaut training’ was undertaken by all to see if Year 1 had the skills needed to take their own moon trip! They tested how strong their lungs are by blowing paper through a straw and then tested their dexterity by trying to put pegs into a board and doing some threading while wearing astronaut gloves. Balance and core strength training involved walking on stilts and balancing on space hoppers. 

All the Rabbits passed their training and they put on their space helmets ready to board Apollo 11. After launching into space they took their momentous first steps on the moon! While there they collected moon rocks to bring back to Earth to investigate.  More photos can be viewed in our gallery

This week Woodpeckers have been studying the different types of mountains found around the world. By looking at the shape of the mountains we were able to sort them in to one of five types. We also considered how we can show the height and shape of a mountain by using contour lines. We saw how the spacing between contour lines showed how steep the incline is and decided to create our own 3D mountains using layers of card to represent the contours.

We have also been practising our times tables on Time Table Rock Stars and using a set of beautiful new dictionaries and thesauruses to enhance our written work - see how they captivated us in the photos below!  More photos
