I think it would be a nice idea to have stations to teach about the moon
Ipad Station- Watching the moon landing on Youtube / a short clip of Neil Armstrong and his famous “One small step for man, One giant leap for mankind”
Sensory Station- A moon walk station- Using foam, bubble wrap, cushions etc to recreate what It would have felt like to walk on the moon.- integration with Drama here
Role play station: Dress up station for Astronauts where they pretend to to be taking off on their rocket and how they feel when they land on the moon.
Writing station: Sending a short and simple postcard home from a spaceship. Focus on To and From and a simple sentence with support.
Maths Station- making your own rocket using 2d shapes- some regular, some irregular.
We tend to use stations for literacy and maths but why not extend this to a specific theme and cover the curricular areas this way.
