Royal Wedding - 29.04.2011

We have been celebrating Prince William and Catherine Middleton's wedding today.  Some of us made wedding headwear at home and got dressed up for the occassion.




We watched the wedding live on our smart board it was very exciting seeing all the crowds and guests dressed up, and we couldn't wait to see William and Kate arriving at the Abbey. We thought that Prince William looked very smart in his uniform and we really liked Kate's dress - she looked like a fairy princess!

      
      

We designed some of our own wedding outfits.




We also had a go at decorating cupcakes, we put some blue glitter on them that you can eat.



                      
                    

In the afternoon we had a reception in the classroom. We decided on a menu of fruit, followed by hot dogs and cupcakes for dessert.


                         


Our favourite bits today were watching the wedding on t.v, having our food and we also liked it when William and Kate had a little kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace! It was all good fun and we really enjoyed the Royal Wedding.

We're going on a trip into space!

This term our topic is about the sun, moon and stars.  We are going to go on a mission to find out as much as we can about space.  Mrs Muir is the space captain and we are all the crew.  There are lots of preparations to do before we are ready to blast off!

 The first job we had to do was to come up with a name for our space ship.  We worked in groups to come up with four suggestions, and then we put everyone's ideas together and voted for the one we liked best.  The winning suggestion was Jocam 2000.

                                 

Once we had a name for our space ship, we had to design identification badges for us to wear.


                                     We had to work out what jobs everyone would be best at.

To find out if we would make a good engineer, we had to build a space station out of Lego.

 To find out if we would make a good science officer we had to look at lots of pictures of plants and animals and write down what we thought they were.

 To find out if we would make a good navigator, we had to find our way through a selection of maze puzzles.

 To find out if we would make a good communicator, we had to practise reading and saying tongue twisters.

So, we had a name for our space ship, and the crew all had jobs to do, but we had nothing to get there in, so our next job was to make model space ships.








READY FOR LIFT OFF!

Here we are with our finished models.
