Ashling,
you have outlined a lovely set of cross curricular activities that involve research and arts about Space as a theme.
To include science inquiry you might want to see what theories the children hold about why the solar system is the way it is – and perhaps help them find simple ways to explore some aspects of that.
So, if they find that the hottest planet is Venus, they might wonder if that is because it is close to the Sun – and how does being close to a heat source affect how warm you are? – simple inquiry.
or they might wonder if it is because it has a thick atmosphere — so how does wearing more clothes make you feel?
