We have had a very exciting week this week with many events from boat racing to Santa dashing! We completed our boat race on Tuesday. With some technical difficulties with the hand held fans, we had to race individually and time each one. We had some fantastic designs which worked very well and some which were destined to be submarines! See the photos below. We finished the week with a space talk from Libby Jackson. It was a fascinating talk focusing mainly on life on board the International Space Station, including how they celebrate Christmas!

Libby Jackson has written two books which would make lovely Christmas presents:

- A Galaxy of Her Own: Amazing Stories of Women in Space

- Space Explorers: 25 extraordinary stories of space exploration and adventure
