Blast off!
This week we will be exploring the big idea questions:
Where do rockets go?
What is an astronaut?

We will also be sharing one of our favourite stories 'Whatever Next' and using our imaginations to pretend we are taking a trip to the moon... And more importantly deciding what we would pack to go on the adventure.
We will be getting our groove on to these songs:
