As Year 5 and Kindergarten have both been studying about Space as part of their topics this term, and since both have made moon buggies, this was a wonderful opportunity to work together and share the models they have made!
The K children had been learning how to make moon buggies in the form of a ‘Talking Text’ as part of our school initiative on ‘Talk for Writing’. So in groups of four, the Year 5s were given a set of instructions to follow by the K children. If they followed the instructions correctly, they would have made their moon buggy!
The Year 5s had already designed and made their very own moon buggies with Mrs Charlotte, so it was a wonderful opportunity for the children to explore different designs and materials used, and to play together.
It was a delight to see just how well the Year 5s encouraged and explained to K how they had gone about designing and making their moon buggies. It was also amazing just how focused the K children were, what good listeners they were and how careful they were with the models.
Well done everyone. Should we go to the moon, we will all be in good hands with these children!
