We love learning about *Space Stars* such as Dr Niamh Shaw, Katherine Johnson, Tim Peake, Chris Hadfeild and Karen Nyberg, – Can’t see, Can’t Be.
We have sent letters to some of them and some other big names and they have come back to us with videos or messages to answer questions.
We have done virtual tours of the space station and of NASA.
As an Infant school, first class are our senior pupils. Sometimes we organise with the younger classes to let my class be the teachers and teach their children some fun facts
lots of space art! The messier the better! We also Link in Van Gogh’s Starry Night.
Lots of space games for PE
songs – mine particularly love Unicorn Noodles on Go noodle – the main line is “My Very Excellent Mother Just Serves Unicorn Noodles” teaching about the order of the planets
Opportunities to work on Adjectives – an angry Alien, a bossy alien, a clever alien, etc. We also draw some different types of aliens.
There is a wealth of story books available!
