Aistear January 2018 – Space
On returning to school after the Christmas holidays , the children were taken on a trip to outer space !!To prepare for this trip the children engaged in shared reading of “Grounded to Earth ”
and learned all about the planets and the some of the objects that may be found in space. A Space station and space shuttle were set up in the corner and children had great fun launching missions to space, landing on the moon, collecting space samples and sometimes had to make an emergency landing!! IN play dough, some strange creatures emerged from the play dough and in Junk art the children created some space rockets using a variety of materials ! Thanks God all children landed back safely in Kilchreest and no one was left behind in space!
