Over the next two weeks we will be learning about Neil Armstrong as part of our history topic. You can:

1. Go to the BBC bitesize website and search Neil Armstrong. Read the information together or watch the videos. There is also a quiz you can take. bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zjwvb82/articles/zhx4k2p

2. Look on twinkl.co.uk – there are power points and plenty of activities based around Neil Armstrong including a time line.

3. Write a fact sheet using 3 headings; Who was Neil Armstrong? (Write simple sentences about when he was born, when he learned to fly, when he became an astronaut.) How did Neil Armstrong get to space? (Write simple sentences about the date he went, the name of the rocket - Saturn and Eagle, how long it took, what Neil said when he landed.) What the moon looks like? Write a description of the moon using adjectives e.g. the moon is dark and dusty. It has lot of deep craters and tall mountains. You can watch a 3d virtual tour of the moon. Search: tour of the moon 4k Redux (music only).
