Our Journey to Space

As part of our recent Space Topic, we turned our Home Corner into the Springhill Space Station. The children enjoyed dressing up as Space people and using the area for space themed role play. During the week they made rockets and learnt about different planets using a special scientific model. They even wrote a space themed story which is included below for you to enjoy!

Before we go to space we need…

“Space helmets, space shoes, gloves and a space suit.”

(Oli, Hari, Poppy and James)

We pack a lunch: “apple, sandwich, cucumber, orange and black space juice that tastes like oranges.”

“We climb in our spaceship and blast off, the fire goes up and the rocket goes up.” (Hari)

“1, 2, 3, 4, BLAST OFF!” (Poppy)

“We’re going to the moon.” (Hari)

“It takes 50 hours.” (Oli)

“We put our helmets on and get out of the rocket.”

“We investigate and look for aliens.” (Oli and Hari)

“Aliens go wibble wobble!” (Hari)

“We get back in spaceship” (Poppy)

“We parachute down, it’s in the pointy bit.” (Oli)

“Get out of the rocket, take space clothes off and go home for tea.”
