Year 1 Space Day
On Monday, Year 1 were delighted to welcome Dr Chris Pearson to our classrooms over Zoom to talk to the children about all things space. They were wowed by revolving planet graphics and facts, and then recreated the solar system playing the parts of each of the planets, the Earth's moon, steroids and comets.
In the afternoon, the children were treated to a trip through the galaxy using NASA's new exoplanets website to explore new and unusual worlds before decorating and naming their own planet.
A huge thank you to Chris for once inspiring the children and offering so much of his time to Ladygrove. They had such an amazing day, they were buzzing.
The day inspired our literacy the following day, with the children enthusiastically recalling so many facts about the solar system. These will be used to create a non-fiction paragraph on the solar system this week.
