This week we have started our new project 'Moon Zoom'.

We launched our project by trying to work out which planets our alien friend Zorb had visited on his way to our classroom. We had to use clues and match them to facts cards, which then gave us an order in which Zorb visited them.

We have also started learning about Yuri Gagarin, who was the first human in space and a pioneer of space travel. We talked about what he experienced in Vostok 1 and how he would have felt.

Attached below are the facts cards and some information about this significant person in History.
