In Year 5, we have created our own Luna Rovers in response to our science learning this term on Earth and Space. We began by reflecting back on what we learnt about the different planets and their features. From this, we explored what our Luna Rover would need in order to investigate these planets further. We then went on to design our own thinking carefully about the features our individual Luna would have and the material that these could be made from. Then the fun began! Gone are the days of junk modelling, we had to think about different attachment techniques and how our materials would securely fit together and survive in outer space. We had a fantastic day. We showed maturity, independence and perseverance and built upon previous skills and produced the most amazing and creative models. Finally, we evaluated our work thinking about if it met our original criteria, how we overcame any difficulties and what we might do differently to improve our models next time.
