IPC PROJECT FOR SPRING 1 - SPACE EXPLORERS

What's the big idea?

We know that when we look up at our sky we will see the Sun, the Moon and the stars.  We take them for granted.  But why are they there?  What do they do?  How do they affect the Earth?  Astronomy, like all sciences, is about asking questions.  By becoming ‘space explorers’, we can find out more about our solar system and the deeper mysteries of the universe.

Can You Help?

Do you have knowledge or resources about our project? 

Could you give some time to come in to class to help with reading? Please come and talk to your child’s teacher if you can help!   

Entry Point:  Wednesday 8th January  Please bring in any two litre, empty, plastic bottles.

Exit Point:  TBC

  • SCIENCE

    We will be able to:

    • Research questions about our solar system and record our findings.

    We will know:

    • How the solar system is arranged; how we get day and night; how we get our seasons.

    We will be developing our understanding of:

    •  The relative size and distance of planets.
  • HISTORY

    We will understand:

    •  How scientists such as Galileo proved that the Earth orbits the Sun

    We will know:

    • How space exploration has evolved over time through the development of ever more sophisticated technology.
  • Technology

    Twitter is very useful – follow @Space_Station or @NASAEarth or @NASA_astronauts.

    Apps are also helpful – Star Walk and Sky Map are the apps we will use in school.

  • Maths

    Please help your child to know all of the times tables facts up to 12 x 12 and their related division facts. 

    This is incredibly important and is actually a Year 4 objective.

    We will also be working hard to remember how to:

    •  Find fractions of quantities and calculate with fractions.
  • English

    We will be learning how to write:  Narratives

    We will continue to improve our SPaGknowledge, skills and understanding, in particular: spelling rules involving suffixes and prefixes, and adverbial phrases showing time, manner and place.

  • statutory SPELLING LISTS

  • important dates
