Summer
This term, in line with our theme of 'Space; the final frontier' we will be taking a scientific approach to exploring the Universe.

We will discover fascinating facts about the Sun, Moon & Earth & develop an understanding of day & night, the four seasons & the Moon’s phases. The Sun & the planets making up our Solar System are investigated, along with the other stars in their constellations.
The links below will help introduce you to the science of space, or cosmology as scientists call it! Watch the Youtube video first which will remind you of what we have been learning and give you a bit more information.
