Operation Space Station and World Book Day!

On Thursday, Class 4 were on a mission! We were challenged by the Commander from the National Space Centre to build our own Space Stations. Some of us had to build a Space Station for research, some of us built a Space Station for tourism and some created a Space Port. We then had to decide which crew and equipment best supported our mission.

This was all done with limited budgets and time constraints and so prompted lots of discussion and decision making.

We answered questions during the session which earned us extra credits and enabled us to extend our Space Stations.

We thoroughly enjoyed the team work and the opportunity to design and build our own Space Stations. 

Our Commander awarded points to each team to discover the overall winners of the challenge – this was the team called ‘Sigmas in Space’.

We also enjoyed a wonderful World Book Day which included a Book Swap, sharing stories with our Class 2 friends and a visit from our Secret Storyteller, Mrs Freeman. Our costumes looked amazing too!
