5W at Beech’s Base

Today was the first Beech’s Base visit of 2023!!

At Beech’s Base  today, 5W’s theme was Earth and Space which is linked to our Science topic. We read a Man on the Moon newspaper article reporting on the exciting news from July 1969. We discussed how life was so different back then and what technology would not have been around. The children became familiar with the famous quote… “One Small Step for Man…” and also where the phrase “The Eagle has landed” derived from.

Other activities included digging and jumping into a huge moon mud crater! Building a spaceship and then using this as a prop/setting for a re-enactment of the space mission, searching for ‘moon’ rocks, den building and creating some moon bread!

Some of the children used flour and water to make a dough. They had a choice to add ginger or herbs and make crater holes into their bread. It has been proving this afternoon. Before the children eat it please could a grown up place it in the oven on a low heat for a short amount of time (maximum 10 minutes) then, ENJOY!

Thanks for a super day 5W.
