December
This month we set up a Space Station in our room. We read lots of books and stories about space and our solar system, made planets, space food and aliens with playdough, rockets and space computers in junk art, space stations and launchpads with blocks and worked as astronauts and astronomers in the space station. We learned the song ‘Space Oddity’ and saw a real astronaut singing it on the International Space Station.

NOVEMBER
In November we learned about homes and looked at the different types of homes people live in. We went on a walk in the locality and found detached, semi-detached and terraced houses, apartments, and bungalows. We saw homes for sale and for let. We set up an Estate Agents in our classroom and bought and sold homes. We also looked at animals we found in Autumn. We wrote reports about them and examined where they live.
