This class assembly is all about Space. It discusses the Sun and the 8 planets within, then moves on to the earth and its rotation and orbit of the sun. It talks about Constellations and ends with a dramatic entrance from a spacecraft with a ‘mini’ Neil Armstrong emerging and discuss about the 1st landing on the moon. You would need to build a make-shift space craft for a child to fit into. We used 4 large bit of card-board and stuck tin foil all around it and made an American flag. The children loved it. We also found a kid’s spacesuit for our mini Neil Armstrong. You will also need the Sun and Planets blow ups, easily and cheaply purchased from Amazon. It doesn’t come with a Space song, but again songs with lyrics are easily found through a simple youtube search.

You are purchasing a step-by-step PPT on how to build a spectacular rotating planet cam toy aimed at children in UKS2. It is aimed to be the end piece for a Earth and Space topic and corresponds with the National Curriculum for Design and Technology for KS2.

The following is a fun and engaging space project that students can undertake. There are two projects in this file what students can do. The first project is to create a planet using various resources like Polystyrene balls, paint, plasticine paper mache etc. Pupils must also research what will make their planet Habitable - with links to Biology and why certain aspects like the sun and Gravity are important for life. The second project is simply for the students who are unable to get hold of the resources. The project is for them to do research into the planets/ISS in our solar system and is independent on what they want to do! However there are starting points that they can look into. Give me a review if you like/dislike so I can improve upon it! Thanks! Please view my other projects that I currently have within my shop!

An editable script for a space-themed assembly for younger pupils. Features two songs for children to sing and 30 separate speaking parts (though these are easily combined should you have children who do not wish to speak). The basic premise of the assembly is that two children in the class want to go on holiday to space and so listen to some facts about the eight planets to help make their decision. They don’t want to stay on planet Earth because it’s too messy! In the end they realise that the other planets would not be great holiday destinations because they’re too hot/too cold/too rocky/too smelly! They choose to stay on planet Earth but realise that they have to help to look after it to keep it a nice place to live. We had great success with this assembly in Reception last year - the children (and parents) loved it - and it’s easily edited to make it work for other classes.
