Enquiry Term 5 🪐🌌🛰️🗺️🌍
Term 5/6 enquiry ‘ What’s the impact of space exploration?’
This enquiry will be a science based enquiry.
Over terms 5/6 we will be learn why we have night and day. We will explore different lines of scientific enquiry linked to space based on the children’s interest. We will look at different creation stories and also debate who we think ‘owns’ space so who is responsible to look after it. The children will also understand the positives and negatives into space exploration.
Home Learning
As part of our Term 5/6 enquiry, ‘What’s the impact of space exploration?’ we would like you to design/ create/ or research into an area of your interest.
