After investigating thick and thin materials yesterday we decided to design some costumes for the toys to keep them safe in Space.

What fun we had!

To help to make the reading corner more colourful, the children have been exploring materials to create space collages. They have turned out beautifully! The children will also use them to make their own CBeebies Bedtime Story at the end of this half term.

We have learnt that when you want to make something you have to make a template first. We are making puppets that we designed on Monday.

The children drew around one hand and cut it out. They then pinned this to fabric to use as a template for their hand puppets. They worked out that they needed two parts the same to sew together for their puppet. They will be continued this week!

Year 1 have decided that they would like a new book corner to go with the theme of space. This is all because of their new focus book Space Dog. The children are loving the Mini Grey story!
