Space theme

Welcome to space week where we travel around the universe discovering our solar system around us.

Here is a sneak preview of our jet packs we just made.

I am so proud of the kids for making, caring for and sharing these jet packs with their friends.

For instructions, you can Google make your own jet packs from soft drink bottles.

Thanks to Sarah J for bringing us the bottles.

 Next we made 'moon sand'.

I saw many recipe variations, some using sand and others using flour.

I made up our own one as we went. 4 cups of plain flour, 3 cups of cornflour, 1 cup of salt and 1 cup of baby oil.
mix together.
It smells and feels very luxurious and velvety.
Each time the children had a break from the moon sand trough I added another surprise element such as glitter or some goggly alien eyes.

We also made moon pop rocks today with white chocolate, marshmellows & rice bubbles topped with edible glitter...yum.

It is only day 3 and we have also created 2 types of rockets to help us draw and write and some lovely chalk planet sketches.
So much fun.
