My Class plan for Space week would be the following:
English: Listen to the story ‘Aliens in Underpants Save the World’. Discuss what happened in the story – oral language. Write a postcard from a rocket in outer space.
Science: build a rocket – Marvin and Milo Balloon rocket.
Geography: Look at the planets and discuss what they look like, the order/distance from the sun. How long they take to orbit the sun.
History: The journey into space from the 1950s to today.
Maths: Space themed snakes and ladders game, space bingo, space themed worksheets. Blast off game from the TopMarks website.
Drama: Role play: In groups the children are astronauts on a space rocket and land in space – act out what they see, how they move in space.
Music: Space song
Art: Design and build your own rocket using the different materials. Design and build their own planets using paper mache. – Hang these planets so they are displayed in the classroom/school hall.
