To infinity and beyond!

Girls in the Pre-Prep Department embarked on a morning of space exploration when they considered the concept of outer space and space travel. Through a range of sensory experiences including poetry, songs and craft the girls learnt about the wonder of the universe and the planets in our Solar System.

The morning began with an interactive storytelling session led by a professional storyteller. The girls followed the story of Sam who, when a spaceship crash landed in her back garden, had to be very brave and help an alien to try to fix its spaceship. It was an extremely creative session which allowed the girls to use their imagination to the full and immerse themselves in the adventure.

Following the story session the girls participated in a carousel of space themed activities. The activities included: building rockets and space buggies, learning a poem to teach the order of the planets, learning and singing a song to remember facts about Space and racing against the clock, working as a team, to assemble four different jigsaw puzzles of planets, an astronaut and a space rocket!

It was a great morning which really helped all the girls to gain a sense of their place in the universe.
