Topic The Moon : cross curricular links : literacy, art, maths, SESE, PE
start with the story What ever next by Jill Murphy . This story is about a bear that wants to go to the moon, it discusses what he needs to get there and who he sees along the way and what the moon is like ! In class The children could think about if someone wanted to go to the moon in real life, who would go, what would they need to get there. What would the moon look like? Would anyone else be there This could then lead onto a lesson about the moon , what it looks like, how far away it is, is there anything on the moon, has man ever been to the moon. The children could brainstorm their questions prior to this and then answer the questions together. Using clay the children could make a clay moon . Using junk art , the children could make rockets and try fly them standing on a chair. For PE we could learn the song and Dane to zoom zoom zoom we are going to the moon , then move around as aliens, astronauts , shooting stars etc
