Creative collaboration!

Today we decided that we needed a rocket to travel between the ice planet and the fire planet.
We worked together to design a rocket. We designed one but then we decided that we would not all fit in if the rocket was pointing up.  We redesigned the rocket so that there was more space for us all.
We worked really well together sharing ideas and drawing a plan.  We labelled the plan so that we all knew exactly what we wanted the rocket to look like.

Plan 1



Plan 2

Our final design

When we had finished our plan we gathered a selection of materials and objects and made our rocket.

We started with this...
We found some seats
We thought this would make a great engine
We added the rocket booster for the fire
A roof and a pointy bit!!


We had so much fun using our imagination and working together. We had to listen to each others ideas. By working together we made a fantastic rocket and then we had a great time blasting off on adventures in it!

Mud Kitchen

We have had a great afternoon exploring our new mud kitchen. We have measured and poured, mixed and splashed and scooped and squelched! What a great way to spend an afternoon.
In fact it was so popular we had to extend it!
