To end our space topic, the children from year 1 and 2 had their own space rocket launch competition. The children first of all designed a rocket and then worked in groups of three to build it. In our classes, we went outside and used a special pump to launch our rockets. The rocket that went the highest and furthest was chosen for the final. The finalists were Sputnik 3 from Mr Evans' class, Moon 2 from Miss Fraser's and Mars 5 from Mr Burfield's.
