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
