BLAST OFF! We have begun our journey into outer space this
week, with a mysterious spinning object making its way into the classroom. We
activated our prior knowledge and learnt and explored the meaning of some key
vocabulary:
Orbit
Dwarf Planets
Asteroids
Comets
We also learnt a fun rhyme to help us remember the order of
the planets. We read the fun story, “Pluto’s Secret” and learnt a lot about the
history of space exploration. Did you know that Pluto is no longer identified
as a planet? This was only decided by astronomers in 2006. The slides below
show some of the key content we have covered so far.
