The pupils have been asking some big questions about the moon and some of the planets and an alien called Pog must have heard, as they crashed into our classroom and left some bits of their space craft behind while trying to fix it.

Pog said they were from Mars and left a letter asking for some information from the pupils about the moon.

The pupils gathered evidence from the scene to discuss what might have happened. Some pupils also tried to rebuild a space craft.

The pupils created their own character called Pog which they will use while they learn about story structure, creating their own version of ‘Man in the Moon’ by Simon Bartram.

I’m excited to see where the pupils will take our learning next!
