As part of our airshows project, Year 2 have listened to the song ‘Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines’. In PE the children began to think about a airplane dance to this piece of music.

The First Airplane – The Wright Brothers
As part of our Erasmus Airshows project, Year 2 have started to learn about the Wright Brothers and their amazing invention of the world’s first successful airplane. The children were fascinated to learn that this was only just over 115 years ago.
Telescopes, Constellations and Astronauts!
Reception really enjoyed taking part in another Erasmus project celebration, Space Day! All of the children looked fantastic and were very keen to get involved in all of the space activities! Some children made alien masks, other split pin astronauts and some even made space themed stick puppets!
We enjoyed looking at the night sky and discovered that some stars make patterns that we call Constellations. We looked at some of the most famous Constellations like ‘The big dipper’ and ‘Orion’. We made our own space paintings by flicking paint from our brush and then added our own Constellation to our paintings. We each made our own telescope and used them to explore our wonderful paintings.
Space Day in Year 5
Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed Space Day this week as part of our schools Erasmus project. The children enjoyed singing space songs, writing space poetry, dressing up and creating their own planet with an orbiting astronaut or rocket. Well done Year 5.
Space Day Catwalk!
We had the opportunity to show off our fabulous space costumes as we walked down the ‘Space Day Catwalk’! Well done and thank you to everyone!
