Constellations

We had a wonderful time on Friday discovering new constellations. We have discovered The Teapot,  The Cow, Diamonds inside a Rainbow, The House, The Girl, Flicker Star, 
The Double Ring,  The Telephone Pole, The Star and the Butterfly, The See-Saw,  
The Flowers, The Spider,  Flicker, The Cute House and Snowflake Night. Who knew there were so many new constellations out there.

We created our constellations by first  looking at pictures of constellations from Science Alive and thinking about how people had created these pictures by joining stars together. (A bit like dot to dot)

We then let our imaginations go wild. First we had to create our shape and think about how we were going make it out of marsh mellows and toothpicks. Once we had laid our shape out we glued it onto to black paper and named our constellation. Mrs McRandle thinks they are amazing.
