<p>A great assembly all about space, aimed at ks2 or upper ks1.</p> <p>It contains 2 songs and a dance with youtube links. Printable S-P-A-C-E lettering for the children to hold up in assembly. There is also an optional powerpoint, just add pictures of your kids or their artwork of the planets.</p> <p>Enjoy, this is such a fun assembly which the kids and audience will LOVE!</p>

<p>Printable for the children to use with watercolours, pastels or coloring pencils</p>

<p>An editable script for a space-themed assembly for younger pupils.</p> <p>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).</p> <p>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!</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>Space themed fine motor mat</p>

<p>In this complete lesson resource, there is an Hour lesson (Or 2 lessons if you wish to stretch and add extra activity), on the definition of planets, stars and dwarf Planets, as well as informative video links and exercises to help students understand the effect of a body’s mass on the weight of an object.</p> <p>Animated with stunning visuals</p>

This Planet Fact File is the perfect activity for your children to learn all about the planets in our solar system by completing their own personal booklet. They are required to research key information about the planets in order to complete the booklet. This pack contains two sets, one set where they can draw the planets, and the other where an image is already on the information sheets. <br /> <br /> You can use this activity in class, however lots of my class loved taking it home as a home learning project! <br /> <br /> <strong>Contents: </strong><br /> <br /> - Fact File Front Cover<br /> - Differentiated Fact File Templates For: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

This is a really fun and engaging activity. Children can be set the challenge to see how fast they can find the planets in our solar system and the dwarf planet Pluto with these wonderful worksheets. Want to save paper, why not print some for a group activity and laminate them so that you can use them time and time again. You could even give children a blank grid and challenge them to make their space themed word search.

Match symbols to words, students are required to look at initial letters.

<p>This wordsearch can be used as an introduction for ks3 to the planets and space or as a differentiated resource for ks4 special needs.</p>
