We learned lots of new things during Space Week this week. We loved reading Chris Hadfield’s book ‘The Darkest Dark’ about his dreams to be an astronaut. We also watched the 1969 moon landing which we couldn’t quite believe. We even learned about Neil Armstrong and did some art work of him. 🚀👨🏻‍🚀🌙

So we discussed how we could have protected Humpty Dumpty when he fell. We decided to test which material might have protected the poor egg. Each group chose a different material to fill a bag containing an egg. The bag was then dropped from the same height off the table in the classroom to see if it would protect the egg from breaking. Groups chose Play Doh, water, flour, popcorn and paper from materials provided. We made...
