What an exciting day we had today. We dressed up in astronaut flight suits and then learned about all sorts of new things. We watched a video of a space shuttle taking off, and watched the boosters fall off at 2 mins. We saw how the boosters fell down and landed in the sea. Did you know that the Space Shuttle orbits Earth upside down so that the astronauts can see the Earth. We looked at space food and found out that the astronauts can attach the packets to their flight suit. We saw how a space toilet works and there is NO water in a space toilet. We saw how the astronauts float in their beds, which are like sleeping bags and they don't need a pillow. We made our own rockets and flew them outside. Have a look at our photos below.

The astronaut photos look amazing. I am so pleased you had a great time. Macaroni and Cheese is one of my favourite meals - I wonder what the space food version tastes like?
ReplyDeleteHow smart do you all look? I wonder if there are any astronauts in the making in the class?
ReplyDeleteI am wondering why do they not need a pillow? Do their heads just float?
