Any further details about this term’s topic: |
Journey through space, the final frontier. Navigate beyond the Sun, the magnificent, blazing star at the centre of our Solar System. Investigate the eight planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Take a look at the Moon, a celestial body that orbits Earth. Programme a rover to traverse a lunar landscape and work scientifically to investigate gravity, and what happens when there is none. Get in a spin making simple models of the Solar System and listen to the haunting sounds of space themed music. Then it’s 3, 2, 1, blast off. Build and launch a rocket for an important test mission. Exploring space is probably the greatest adventure that humankind has ever undertaken. Are we alone? Or are there other life forms out there? And can humans survive in space? Children will need to wear a PE kit to school every Tuesday. Mrs J Davies and Mr S Oram both have their planning time on a Friday. |
