    I have often taught Rocket lessons with the older classes, so it has been really helpful to get some ideas on how to use these themes with the younger classes.

    I would introduce the topic with some storytime incorporating the theme of aliens. Then I think I would use the stimulus of watching an ESA Rocket launch as shown in this module which would be a brilliant way to engage the younger students and peak their interest.

    I would definitely use the Mouse Rocket lesson to start them off on their rocket launching journey and then possibly move on to making some fizzing rockets in small groups with adult supervision and possibly balloon rockets would also work in a small group setting. These are all fabulous ideas that would really engage the children and I’m sure lead to plenty of follow up discussions
