Topic 2 - Reach For The Stars

In our second autumn topic we set off on an adventure and learn about space! Have you ever thought what it would be like to go on a journey into space and who you might meet? Some of the questions we will be asking are:
What is beyond my world?
What is in the sky?
How do we travel to space?
What planet would you like to visit?
Parents as Partners:
Discuss with your child what you can see in the sky during the daytime and especially the night time.
Talk about our place in space - what is our planet/country/town called?
Activities:
As part of this topic:
- We will learn about the planets in our solar system.
- We will investigate a mystery crash for Mr Lawther, keep an eye on social media!
- We will create some space pictures and craft.
