Astronauts in training.
Measurement is really important in space.
This week we have started on our models of the Soyuz rocket, the crew module and the International Space Station. We planned the layout and split up tasks within the group then organised the junk we needed. We have begun joining and finishing the models. They will be painted white first then finally we will put detail on.
Planning the models.
Deciding on the realtive sizes of each part of the rocket.
Later in the term we will design and make our own space station models from junk in a similar way. We will need to present our designs and models and explain the layout and what each part is for - it needs to be able to sustain life! Start collecting your own personal junk!
In the comments below you can read what we think are the most interesting facts we have learned so far.
The astronaut training was fun. I liked when we were measuring how tall we were and it was fun building the ISS because I liked working together as a team. cierra
ReplyDeleteWhile your in space you can shrink.If you exercise you won't
ReplyDeleteshrink. Exercising is very important. Astronauts exercise every
day. There face will go puffy as well as there up in space. your muscles will shrink this is how you shrink when up in space. Sofia

We have had lots of fun learning about Tim Peake and building the models. We also have a space booklet and in it we get to design our own space suit and we did stuff like lying on a chair like were flying. We stood on one leg to see how long we could stand on one leg for then we did the other leg. It has been lots of fun and I cant wait until Tim Peake space walk

It was fun looking at interesting facts about space. My favorite fact was that you could only survive in space without
ReplyDeletea space suit for about 15 seconds without dying.

I did good when we where doing space exercises my measurement was around 170. I was shocked when they had to do exercise 2 hours a day that's a lot of work. We are doing space models the International space station and the Soyuz Rocket also the crew Module. My group was the Soyuz Rocket

When you are in space you sometimes shrink.your muscles will shrink and that's how Astronauts shrink also when you are in space your face will go puffy.Exercise is very important Astronauts have to Exercise everyday also Exercise makes you healthy.jennifer
ReplyDeleteIn space your heart shrinks and you get taller and you get weaker so you need to exercise so you can keep fit.Cameron
ReplyDeleteHi everyone yesterday we started to build models of the Soyuz rocket, the crew module and the international space station. my group was the biggest because we were building the international space station. It was really hard to think of what we could use to build all the little compartments but it was still really fun and I hope we do something like it again Erin.R
ReplyDeleteHi class 5 i am so happy to be back at school to see all my friends. In are topic we are learning about tim peake and the iss, I really injoyed doing the space exersize becuse we got to do balance on each leg and see how long we can hold it for. I am so exsited to see tim peakes space walk and i hope we look at some more thing about him in our space topic. Caitlin
ReplyDeleteI'm really exited to see tim's space walk to.I hope he does ok!Daisy
Deleteawer topic is about space and we where making models and it was fun.by paige
ReplyDeleteIt was fun making the models but complicated at the same time. It got most complicated when me and Daisy were putting mod roc in water and then we were putting it on to our model. When we got to the yogurt pot it was super hard because their was curves and the mod roc kept on moving but we got there in the end.

I know doing the mod rock was really hard I thought the yogurt pot was the hardest to because it kept on slipping!Daisy
Deletehi class 5 I thought doing the space exercises were very fun my favourite one was when we were standing on one leg it was really fun.jennifer
ReplyDeleteI liked that one two I held it for 3 minutes how long did you hold it for?Daisy
DeleteHi class 5 I thought doing the exercises was fun and interesting. I enjoyed balancing on one leg and the other. Sofia
ReplyDeleteI liked doing are space modals my group did the soyuz rocket.I learned a lot about space like your bones get weaker and softer the longer your in space.
ReplyDeleteTyler
I had lots of fun building our model and doing the astronaut training. When you become an astronaut your training takes about 6 years I cant wait to see what activities we will do next. Lauren
ReplyDeleteIn are space topic we learned that if you did not have a space suit and went outside you would live for 15 seconds and yo're face will puff up you're legs will shrink.
ReplyDeleteWilliam
I never knew how much exercise astronauts had to do two hours every day!i was really interested when i found out how complicated astronauts space suit's are and then to go to the toilet they had a nappy!I really enjoyed planing our models and we started building them which was really good to.My group is doing the Soyuz rocket and we each worked on different parts Erlend and Brogan where working on the main part of the rocket Ryan,Aiden,Darby and Jake where doing the booster,s Me and Aneisha did the top.Daisy
ReplyDeleteI learned that you need your space suit to keep you the right temperature and it can feed and give you water I also and in space your face gets puffy and you start to get shorter and you wear a nappy if you need the toilet liked the space model building and we where building the Soyuz rocket and my group was Erlend Brogan Dasiy Darby and Aneisha and we all built diffrent part of the Soyuz rocket. Ryan
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed making the model ISS it was very fun and and the space suits are intresting scott
ReplyDeleteHi class 5 I think I did well in the space activity my height was 130 cm. Did you know you cant go to the toilet so you have to wear nappee.Also you legs shrink and your heart does
ReplyDeleteThe longer you stay in space the taller you get and your heart shrinks. Erlend c
ReplyDeleteWhen you are in space you need a spacesuit to survive. If you don't have a space suit you will die. This is what you need for space. You need a space food, a nappy and exercise. Kadyn and Jake
ReplyDeleteHi everyone I have had a lot of fun making the model ISS and astronauts can get taller and they're hearts shrink so they have to.Exercise so they can be healthy and fit we had to balance on are tummy it was a bit sore. Kaylen
ReplyDeleteThis looks like an interesting project, I can't wait to see your finished space models. Well done P5. Caroline(Erin R's mum)
