3. Year 5:Will we ever send another human to the moon?
LC1 – Could we describe the Earth and the sun as space cousins?
LC2 –Could we describe the moon as a young nephew?
Children will learn about the movement of the Earth in relation to the sun. Ch will learn about the sizes of the Sun, Moon and Earth and create disks to illustrate this. Children will also learn that the moon is not a source of light and be able to explain the moon phases.
Children will research facts about Mae Jemison, the first African-American female in space, and write a biography about her life.
Children will find out about gravity and its effect on the Earth. Children will recognise that some mechanisms, including levers, pulleys and gears, allow a smaller force to have a greater effect.
Children will read our text ‘One giant leap – Neil Armstrong’ and write a Neil Armstrong autobiography.
Esafety - Children will learn how to search for non-copyrighted images.
LC3 – Can you explain why we have day and night?
Children will learn about how shadows are formed and investigate how the sun appears to move across the sky. They will also day and night and the 4 seasons.
Children will begin to use Scratch to create a Moon landing game.
Children will write look at non-chronological reports to identify their features. Children will then write a non-chronological report about the Moon.
LC4 – Can we appreciate the distances between the sun, the Earth and the moon?
Children will find out about the distances between the Sun, Earth and Moon and how this affects space travel.
Children will continue to create their Moon landing game using Scratch.
Children will plan and record a documentary about the Earth, Moon and Sun. Children will listen to Gustav Holst’s Planet Suite and compose their own piece of music to go with their documentary.

4. Year 5:Will we ever send another human to the moon?
LC5 –What do we know about the solar system and the other planets in it?
Children will learn that the Sun is a star at the centre of our solar system and that it has eight planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune (Pluto was reclassified as a ‘dwarf planet’ in 2006). Children will find out about the way that ideas about the solar system have developed,
by considering the work of scientists such as Ptolemy, Alhazen and Copernicus. They will also find out how stars are linked to planets.
Children will find out about the solar system when the school is visited by a Planetary Dome.
Children will write a non-chronological report about one of the planets.
