Keep up to date with all the news happening in school at the moment.
What a fantastic afternoon of cutting, sticking, designing, making, changing, sticking again, falling apart, sticking yet again! We have an amazing range of rockets and spaceships which will all be entered into the competition and judged by our anonymous judge tomorrow.
1st to 3rd will be announced in the Mission Complete assembly on Friday at 2.45pm. Come along and find out all the winners of all the fantastic competitions taking place on the final day of Space Week 2014.
Today was Space Academy day. Every child, and most of the teachers, became space cadets and went on an amazing journey through the universe.
After the initial training and safety talk we fearlessly entered the spaceship and set off for the outer reaches of space. There were a few close calls with sun, asteroids and a black hole but we made it back, you will be glad to hear, without casualties.
Thank you to all the children, parents and friends of Gateford who came along to gaze at the stars with the Bassetlaw Astronomical Society on Tuesday evening. With beautiful clear skies we were treated to an amazing spectacle of moon craters, nebulae and Jupiter with its moons.
After an informative talk about the night sky we all filed outside and queued up to have our chance to look through one or more of the powerful telescopes brought along by the society members.
Then it was time for a tasty rocketdog and planetcakes! Yummy!
We hope to see lots of you at the next space event on Thursday. Come along and help your child/ren to build a junk spaceship in the hall from 1.30pm. See you there!
Less than a week to go. March 3rd to 7th will be Space Week at Gateford Park Primary School. There will be lots of educational and fun events happening around school and a variety of competitions to enter.
Please remember to send in any junk modelling materials for Thursday's "Build a space ship" and watch out for further details of the "Balloon Rocket Challenge".
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask Mrs Blackman.
The countdown has begun.
