This week we have delved straight into case study one, the children considered the question, Where in the world does this book take us? We have focused our attention on a book titled ‘The Way Back Home’ written by Oliver Jeffers. The book has truly captivated the children and has encouraged them to imagine what it would be like if they were stuck on the moon. We have created some beautiful writing about things we might see, feel, hear and smell on the moon.


The children have practised their counting skills and have been counting the moon rocks in our maths area…






In our creative zone the children have been busy creating their very own space scene with flying rockets…




The children have also been inspired by Oliver Jeffers and have chosen to draw the characters from the story themselves. We most definitely have some artists in the making…


In our construction area, we have been busy making our very own rockets and spaceships. Take a look at our impressive models…




I wonder where our book will take us next week…
