Easter Bunny

Wow! Last Wednesday Easter Bunny was spotted running through school with chocolate and marshmallow covering his paws. We went out to investigate and found some of his paw prints.

Explore!

At EXPLORE on Friday's, we have construction. One challenge was to build a Leprechaun trap to see if he would hand over his pot of gold! Have a look at these fantastic designs.

SPACE DAY

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.
