I was very lucky to have a spare big cardboard box at home that the children thoroughly enjoyed turning into a rocket ship, complete with buttons, lights and fire! One of the children brought a book about rockets from home for Show and Tell which we used for inspiration on how to create our rocket ship. We had to wait a whole day for the paint to dry before we could begin to take turns to drive the rocket ship and blast off into space!

We also watched a very interesting video on the C-Touch about the first astronaut to fly in space with a jetpack, outside of a rocket ship. The children each had a milk carton and worked hard to turn it into a jetpack. I was very impressed with the children’s creativity, each coming up with their own ideas. The children are very excited to wear their jetpacks and journey through space!
