WS17 Postcards from the Moon

The purpose of this activity is for pupils to create original artworks about the Sun, Moon, Solar System and space, within the context of plans to return to the Moon (Artemis Mission 2024) and build a Moon village. This activity includes historical, present and future lunar exploration plans. The aim is to enable a greater understanding of space science by using art and craft techniques and literacy. The links provided can also be used for story writing, poetry, performance, maths and IT sessions. It is particularly suitable for ages 8-13 years old. This is an ideal format to introduce the children to careers in science and the arts.
