Tuesday 3rd of March was ‘Mars Day’, when people around the world thought about Mars. Mars is a rocky, red planet that is the closest to us and 4 from the sun. It’s about half the size of Earth and people might be going to Mars in 30 years. Since it was Mars day, we did some Mars maths, Mars writing and for DT, we planned and built Mars ‘habitats’ out of cardboard, bubble wrap and some lolly sticks.
On the same day, we had a science workshop and we learned more about the solar system and all the different planets in it. Afterwards, we made mini-rockets that popped into the air and came back down. We had a lot of fun.
