    The activity I’m choosing is Rockets for infant classes.

    I would start with the story Edward Built a Rocketship by Michael Rack and Graham Ross (I also like the big book Zoom to the Moon).

    I will build the idea of creating rockets and ask how we would make them. What do most rockets look like? Do they look similar – why? What properties does a rocket need?

    Lots of integration available in this area.
    English – reading Edward Build a Rocketship and Zoom to the Moon.
    History – sequencing
    Science – experiment Rocket Mice – predicting and investigating which makes the longest distance.
    Maths – measuring and recording the distance – comparing – language, longer/shorter.
    Art – making rockets using different designs and materials.

    Displays – 3d rockets – data display of which rocket travelled further.
