Expressive Art and Design – Use a cardboard tube, foil, coloured paper and glue or pens to make a rocket. Work on that countdown from 20 to 0 and ‘blast off!’
Knowledge and Understanding of the World – Watch a clip showing the moon landing (link below). What do the children think it would be like on the moon? Can they walk as if they are on the moon?
