SPACE THEME: Door decoration

Hello dear students!

I am posting here some links of drawings to be printed and coloured so that we can decorate our classroom doors this coming week. It would also be nice if every student also prints their picture and fit it into the astronaut shown below!

This can be done and brought to school anytime this week. Thank you for your participation in making our classroom door fun.  Hope your having a great weekend!
