| Seven ways to learn |
- What do I know and understand?
|
- Can I apply and show that I know?
|
- Can I question and compare?
|
- What can I create?
|
| (a)I enjoy reading, writing and speaking |
Choose a planet and write 10 interesting facts about it. Present your work in an interesting way. |
Imagine you are lost in space. Write a short passage about how you would come back down to Earth |
Find out about ‘Space’. What makes the planet earth special? Design and make your own earth poster. |
Write your own story set on a planet in space. Does your planet have aliens? Describe the setting. Use adjectives (interesting describing words) |
| (b)I enjoy working with numbers and being scientific |
Keep a moon diary. Record the date and draw the shape of the moon. Present your work in a booklet. |
What is a satellite and why do we need them? Present your work in an interesting way. |
Make up an alien maths game. Think about the rules and write an information sheet explaining your maths game. You can even make a board game to go with it! |
Design your own planet. Think of the colour and the shape of your planet. How many people/aliens live on your planet? How far is it from the sun? Present your work in a poster and label the information. |
| (c)I enjoy painting and drawing |
Look outside your window and draw a picture of what you see in the sky, use paint, chalk, felt pens, pencils or crayons. |
Create a picture/poster of the sun and the stars in outer space. |
Compare how planet Earth is different to any other planet. Draw a labelled picture to show the differences. |
Make a telescope or a rocket out of junk modelling. |
