Our Spring 2 Project - Stargazers

Over the next 6 weeks we will be taking a journey through space – the final frontier!

Starting with our trip to the National Space Centre, we will investigate the stars, planets and suns and discover the amazing wonders of the night sky, including the of day into night. During this half term, we’ll read information texts to find out about the Solar System and the Sun, using mnemonics to help us remember the facts. We’ll learn about Galileo, the ‘father’ of modern astronomy and his famous astronomical discoveries.
