We began by reflecting back on what we learnt about the different planets and their features. From this, we explored what our Space Buggy would need in order to investigate these planets further. We then went on to design our own thinking carefully about the features our individual Buggy 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.
