🚀 🌟 P5/6 SPACE TOPIC 🚀 🌟

6th May 2026

The class have enjoyed their recent topic on Space.

🎨 They carried out a STEM and process art activity that uses the action of salt to spread vibrant colours.

♻️ They created their own rockets, using only recyclable or reusable materials while recognising and adding the various parts of a rocket.

🥚 They were set a group STEM task: to create a 'Space Vehicle' for their 'Egg-stronaut' and get him/her back to Earth safely, following a 2 metre drop! To make the task fair, they were all given the same materials for their spacecraft.We had a 50% success rate!

Maith sibh everyone-a fantastic demonstration of creativity & teamwork. 🤩
