Space Journal Vol. 2
In the first volume of Big Kids Club’ Space Journal, we followed the adventures of Space Commander Scott Kelly, who recently went on board a NASA International Space Station for almost a year.
During our march classes we focused on practising some of the routines and procedures that astronauts perform on a daily basis. It’s a job that requires lots of training, exercise, concentration, teamwork and most importantly, trust.
Some astronauts even say: “always trust your partner”.
This time, we picked our favourite routines, planned our classes together and we even got to go on two field missions! It was a great season and one of the most fun and animated Big Kids Club I ever performed, these kids sure knew how to partner up when there was a “Neeeeeeew Mission” announced. What a great adventure!
Here is our log for this month 🙂 , you’ll enjoy this missions as much as we did! 🙂
Mission 1 – Repairs & Procedures
Following Scott Kelly’s fixing routines on how to identify and fix any faults in the space shuttle, we built a “Repair Simulator” and we accomplished our mission. That means that we placed all the objects in our simulator back in place right on time!

We added a few touches, collected all the objects, placed them in random spots and … this is the result:
Mission 2 – Field Mission: Launch a Rocket at H.R. MacMillan Space Centre
Mission 3 – Nature in space
For this mission we packed a big bag of snacks and travelled through Cambie Street all the way to Queen Elizabeth Park to explore some of the nature that co exists in the highest point of our city and compare them with some plant species that can have a happy life in a space shuttle.
Happy faces and happy videos can be seen in our private Dropbox folder that we updated and shared with our Big Kids Club’s parents!
Our last mission will be on March 30th, were we plan to have a screening of the very last mission of Space Commander Scott Kelly and his return to earth! Yes, he is back now! Don’t miss his photos and experiences because they are all unbelievable!
A big thank you to all the Big Kids that joined us this season and thank you to all the teachers who made it possible 🙂
