Hello Magnificent Marmalade Minions!
It is a delight to have you back! I hope you had a lovely half term week relaxing with your families. The weather was amazing and I can imagine, you all enjoyed playing in the sun!
Well, this term, we’ll continue our topic on ‘Fabulous Flight’. However, we’ll be saying goodbye to ‘Superheroes’ but diving into the wonderful world of non-fiction as we explore ‘Moon Landing’ which includes the first man on the moon and ‘Flying Machines’.
To start off, I have a creative challenge for you. Let’s take a trip to the moon but to get there we need…
A ROCKET!
Your task this week is to make a 3D rocket out of junk. Now, go on a hunt to gather a range of materials. What sort of materials would you need? Why?
Remember to be careful when handling tools and do this under the supervision of an adult.
Before you start, I would like you to listen to this story – Whatever Next by Jill Murphy How clever was
Here’s a song to motivate you as you work- Zoom Zoom Zoom, we’re going to the moon!
Think Big, Think Creative.
Enjoy!

We’ve created a little rocket for Elsa to go on a mini adventure.
Oh yes, let’s go to the moon! Very creative! I am sure Elsa would love her adventure to the moon. Can I come along?
How are you all? Hope well.
Yes we are well thank you hope you are too missing you very much 😘
I am glad you are all well. We definitely miss you too.
Tommy has really got into this task. He enjoyed making the rocket and also turned himself and some toys into astronauts to go to the moon.
Wow! I can tell you are ready for the moon! Good job!

Well done for making space helmets for the entire space crew. They look lovely!
Did you know that the first NASA spacesuits were silver in colour, because scientists thought this would reflect the burning hot sun rays?
He named the astronauts. Here’s Bopper going into space!!
I would love to zoom into space with Bopper!
Jamie has created his space rocket.
Using a different range of things.
Well done! I can tell you used a range of materials. Can you name the different materials used?
Jamie’s rocket.
How wonderful! Up we go to the moon! Such a brilliant idea.
We’ve made a rocket outfit!
Oh my! This is amazing! You are definitely ready to zoom off to the moon!
Harrisons loved building his rocket and has played with it all weekend
Wow! It is amazing! Good job Mr Engineer! I can’t wait to zoom to the moon in that. A well deserved positive for you!
