Straws, Stars, and Super Rockets. Year 2 Reaches for Space!

19th Jan 2026

Year 2 pupils took part in a fun and imaginative space activity by creating their own rockets in class. Each child stuck a picture of their face into the rocket window and attached a straw to the back. When they blew into the straw, their rockets blasted off across the room! The activity was a great way to explore their space topic, while encouraging creativity, excitement, and hands-on learning about how things move. 🚀🪐
