Autumn Term 1 - 2024 - Space
This term we have been exploring space trying to find the answer to the question – Is there anybody out there? We explored the different celestial beings that make up our solar system by comparing their relative sizes and distance from the sun. We even mapped out the planets to scale on the field. Using Oreo’s we found out about the different phases of the moon. In history we looked at the history of space travel and debate the authenticity of the first moon landing.
Reading the book Hidden figures we explored ideas of segregation, resilience and determination, finding out about the incredible work of Catherine Johnson and Dorothy Vaughn.
In Art we found out about Serialism and used mixed media to create our own Magritte inspired portrait. We also created Space pictures inspired by the work of Peter Thorp.
