Space

This is one of our favourite topics in Year 5. We always have lots of questions that we would like to explore. Together we learn about the following:

 

  • The names of the planets in our solar system, what they are like, the order of them and how the planets orbit the sun
  • Discussion about what the sun is and the importance of it
  • The role of the sun e.g. day and night and seasons
  • The moon including looking at the phases of the moon
  • Astronauts and their life in space
  • Famous astronauts
  • Space travel
  • Gravity
