The children in Reception have really enjoyed engaging in small world space adventures, using phrases like ‘5,4,3,2,1, lift off!!’ and ‘ Look out, look out the rocket ship is coming!’ They have also created their own stories, such as one child’s figure climbed the tower to be able to communicate with them.

We have been enjoying role play in our very own Space Station, using our imaginations as we explore Space.

We have really been inspired by this week's topic, creating 2D and 3D pieces linked to Space and aliens.

This week's topic of Space has inspired lots of imaginative play during Continuous Provision.

On PSHE day, we introduced the children to the school’s ‘Feelings Framework’. We are learning about the names of different emotions and what our bodies look like when we feel different things.

After finding that a space ship had crashed in our playground, we explored the different parts that had been left behind. We spoke about the shape, and the feel of them and wondered what each part could be. We then went back into class and thought more about who or what the space ship belonged to.
