What Dolphins did in September

Our topic for September was Outer Space. Previous to this, a lot of the children had been using a variety of construction materials to build rockets, and talking about going to the moon, so we decided to extend the children’s interest in Space.

The children made planets out of paper plates and decorated black paper with them to make a large space display.

Large boxes were used to make helmets and space suits for the children to become astronauts!

In preschool we used cotton wool and paint to make moon crater pictures, as well as attempting to make water bottle rockets using plastic bottles and bicycle pump!

This month the children particularly enjoyed making paper maché planets.
