A JOURNEY TO SPACE
We travelled to space as astronauts!
First, we read books about space and watched YouTube
videos about planets and astronauts’ life aboard a spacecraft.
Then we were divided into three groups. We
collaborated and wrote stories about an
imaginary journey to space. We put on astronaut helmets, made of white and black
cardboard, and travelled to the magical space with its beautiful stars and
constellations.
We also built and created a structure showing our
spaceship’s journey to space. We took a plastic plate, coloured it and cut it. Then
we glued our paper spaceship craft and several paper stars on the plate.

GROUP
A
A strange
journey
On a hot summer day, we started a journey from Earth to the planet
Uranus. Not long afterwards, we were forced to land on the planet Saturn as we had
run out of fuel. We had the chance to find out that Saturn was a very beautiful
planet.
All of a sudden, we spotted a spaceship in the background. As we were approaching,
we realized that it wasn’t actually a spaceship but a UFO with five aliens
inside of it. One of them looked like a cockroach! We managed to grasp him but eventually
decided to let him go back to his friends.
After that, we started exploring the planet. We met some other aliens who
put music on and so, we danced all together. Later on, we found a giant squid
which had three eyes, eight heads and twenty legs. We were very scared but we
soon realized that it was friendly. In fact, it wanted to help us return to
Earth.
All at once, the squib turned into a princess, the princess of Cronus.
We were so excited when we saw her! Eventually, she managed to bring us back home
to Earth aboard her own spaceship.
We had a great time on this magical journey!
GROUP B
We’re off
to Jupiter!
We set out on a beautiful journey and reached the planet Jupiter where
we saw a red spot. There were a lot of stones and wonderful colours all around.
It was very windy, too. We visited a town populated by aliens, who were incredibly
hospitable.
Soon afterwards, the aliens took us to their lab and showed us a secret
machine which transferred us to the red spot. We saw hundreds of aliens there
and in the background we spotted their king. Later on, they gave us a tour of
their planet and showed us some strange things we had never seen before.
After we had gone out of the red spot, an alien called Β767877
pushed a button. Suddenly, a house, an amazing rocket and a stage appeared
before us. Then, all the aliens came along and sang a wonderful song in . . .
alienish (that is, in their own language).
Unfortunately, we had to go back to Earth. We were all so disappointed!
When we returned to Earth, we told our story to our parents and became famous.
GROUP C
The magnificent journey to
Mars
A few days ago we went on a mission to the planet Mars. We were among the
greatest astronauts in the world because we had always been the first to
accomplish a mission.
As we were travelling to Mars, we realized we had been losing fuel due
to a mechanical breakdown in our spaceship. So we had no choice but to stop
somewhere. Suddenly, we fell roughly onto the surface of the Moon.
We put on our spacesuits and got out of the spaceship. We met a few little aliens, with three balls on
their heads, who were very happy to spend some time with us. We told them about
the problem we had with our spaceship and they, in turn, led us to a hiding place
with a lot of energy supplies inside of it. Luckily, the small creatures let us
take some energy and use it as fuel for our spaceship.
They put us up for a few days but soon we had to say goodbye to each
other. We continued our journey to the planet Mars. As our spaceship was
tearing through the skies, we saw a red planet from far way. It was Mars!
We were so excited because we would be the first to discover that planet.
We were fully equipped with robots and powerful cameras, which helped us
explore the planet. In the end, we planted a Greek flag into the Martian ground.
Discovering the planet Mars made us very famous. Thus, we became the
richest astronauts in the world.
