Ice Cream Comets

One of the things we did today was to revise what asteroids, meteors and comets are. Then we made our own comets...

Crushing up biscuits to make dust and rocks.

Then we rolled scoops of soy ice cream in the dust and rocks (to make the icy head of the comet) and put it in mini ice cream cones (the comet's tail).

And then some maths to calculate how many ice creams we'd eaten between the 6 of us (14... but they were very little scoops in mini cones, honest!)

 
I really need to get some more sidewalk chalk for the kids to draw outside with. Shmoo's obsessed with buses again at the moment. He gets quite detailed with some of them, down to air vents and solar panels LOL. Apparently Loo was drawing a platypus.
