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 noncopyrighted 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.

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.
