This pack includes 5 space-themed table names for your classroom. Each table name has a brief description of the celestial body. I use these within my first term alongside my Science Space topic.

A personal take on the Twinkl classic. I’ve updated the petal clock design, using cursive writing, cute retro prints, the twenty-four hour digits and also the written minutes.

I used and created this resource as a transition activity for my pupils to identify what aspects makes their ideal learning environment. I prompted their responses: Do you like a tidy workspace? Do you like to work in silence or have quiet music? Do you like to have team or partner talk? **I also used a flower smiley and a rubik’s cube template - initially the rubik’s was aimed more for the boys, although it proved fan favourite. Not a surprise, as my current class are obsessed with rubik’s cubes - niche right? ** You might also get pupils to cut these out, as a motor skills activity. Anyway, I you like them as much as my Year 5’s did!
