    As a learning support teacher that works with infant classes, I would really like to use the ‘Up or down’ activity from the spherical Earth lessons from the Universe in a box activities when supporting the class teachers. As a school with children from all over the world, it would be a wonderful way to show how the Earth has no up or down. Using a globe the children could find their families home countries and mark them on the globe, similar to the polar bear and penguin idea from the lesson plan. This could be particularly nice to use during our schools multicultural week where we celebrate all nationalities. The ‘Earth Mosaic’ could be used and the children could draw features from their own families country. Through putting the mosaic together, the children could really see the idea of perspective and how up or down is relative to the observer.
