Rosnyhayward: Goodbye to gravity

I've just finished working on a project with The Mighty Creatives at Bentinck Primary School. I worked with year 1's and 2's on a space themed project alongside practitioner David Matthews.

The idea was to use the term's topic of Space as a starting point to develop the groups imagination and communication. The group decided on the direction for the project with year 2 taking on the role of the astronuts and year 1 becoming the aliens. David created a theatrical space adventure with the group in which they travelled to another planet, went on a space walk and encountered an alien garden. I made props and costumes with the group with the results being shown to parents and teachers. I had a great time with the school, the children were very lively and enthusiastic through out the project. I also got to spent a good amount of time making a giant silver rocket and drawing aliens which is never a bad thing!
