Hi
Next term i am going to do space as a topic for the first time, but i am really struggling to think of any ideas for PSE (None at all at present) - i really hope some one can inspire me with some ideas. I am also short on ideas for PD at present i was thinking about moving like an astronaut to music (If i can find some) - not sure what else.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Have a look at the story Beegu. It's about a baby alien who's lost on earth away from his mummy and about how he feels and what he thinks of people and they think of him. It's a good starter for lots of PSED chat.

We looked at Space a couple of years ago, and may be re-looking at it after Easter as I've a couple of boys who are really interested. I'll did out my old things - pre EYFS, but may be something we can use!

I've just bought Sea of Tranquillity by Mark Haddon which has a CD which includes music that might be useful

We have just done a circle time using The way back home by Oliver Jefferies.
Lots of space music about from classical to pop.
Don't forget space cowboy, David Bowie, star trek theme tune

We have compared button moon and lunar jim too, its been fab and our universe display is amazing.

We asked children to work in pairs to build a rocket, that required a lot of negotiation and sharing,
