Out of this World Areas of learning As Historians we will be studying the history of space travel. We will be researching famous people and their expeditions to space.

As explorers of religious ideas we will be exploring creation myths thinking about how the world began. As Scientists we be learning all about our planet, its seasons, how day and night is created and the phases of the moon. We will carry out maths investigations linked to our science such as graphing our weight/mass on different planets and creating a scaled down version of the Solar System/relevant distances between Earth, Sun and Moon. As Musicians we will be singing space themed songs and we will be creating our own space compositions. We will explore famous space themed music such as the Holzt, The Planets and famous TV space theme tunes. We will listen to these compositions and will consider musical elements such as timbre, tempo, pitch and others. As artists we will be creating our own alien finger puppets. We will use different stitches to create these.
