The children have been discussing their Mantle of the Expert theme for the Summer Term which is Exploration with a focus on Space Exploration. When they returned from playtime they were greeted with an unusual sight…..

The children listened to part of the story ‘Whatever Next’ which is about a little bear going on a space journey. One of the children volunteered to go up into space. Upon their return, we hot seated them asking them lots of questions about their trip to space. We recorded some of the things that we wanted to find out about space on our mind maps in our Mantle groups.
