National Space Centre

Image
On Wednesday, Kingfishers had a great day at the National Space Centre in Leicester, together with the children from Otters and Owls classes.  It was an early, 7am start, in order to have enough time to look around. Soon after we arrived, we watched the Astronaut show in the Planetarium.  With images all around us, it really felt like we were moving through space. Then we had time to look around the various exhibitions and climb the rocket tower.  There was so much to see and do which taught us about life in space and the universe.

Shrove Tuesday

Image
Shrove Tuesday is a good reason to do some cooking!  Today we made pancakes and enjoyed eating them with the traditional lemon and sugar (or strawberry jam).  While the children waited for their turn they found out about some Shrove Tuesday traditions.  We talked about giving things up for Lent.  A few people have said they will give up chocolates or sweets.  Jack thought he would give up vegetables! .... We did point out that it should be something that is a challenge - we're not sure that vegetables is a challenge! When the cooking and eating was over we had a go at tossing pancakes... only a few landed on the floor!
