Tim Peake!
Museums
This is a fact file

Yuri Gagarin orbited the Earth in 108 minutes.
He is a space hero!
Quick Quiz!Can you find out these facts from the fact file?

Your turn!
• Create a timeline
• Draw your timeline in your Home Learning book
• You could...– Create a space timeline– Create a timeline of your life– Create a timeline of something else that interests you
• Timelines MUST be in chronological order – the oldest goes first, the newest goes last
• Try to include about 6 events on your timeline
• Try to include your birth
TUESDAYLO: I can name some space animals
I can discuss why animals were sent to space
I can share my thoughts about historical events
What is it like to be an astronaut?
The Space Race• USSR (Russia) and USA (America) were both very excited to learn about space
• Both countries helped us learn more about how to get to space
• Space travel was very dangerous
• They decided to send animals before humans to make sure it was safe
• Read the article on this webpage –
you don‟t need to watch the video:
“BBC NewsRound: Why are animals sent into
space?”

WEDNESDAYLO: I know about female astronauts
I can answer questions about historical events

Your turn
On the St Mary’s website’s Home Learning page
there are two reading challenges.
“Apples – Women in Space reading”
has some information on Valentina Tereshkova – try this if you read pink, red, yellow or blue books
“Bananas – Women in Space reading”
has some extra tricky information – try this if you read green, orange, turquoise or purple books (or if you fancy a challenge!)
Read the one you choose and answer the questions
THURSDAYLO: I know about the first moon landing
I know who Neil Armstrong is
What is it like to be an astronaut?
The Apollo 11 Moon Landing
Where did it start?• July 16th 1969
• USA
• The Saturn V rocket was launched
• It was the biggest rocket ever built

• Weight – 2.9 MILLION kilograms
Who?Neil Armstrong Buzz Aldrin
Michael Collins
Neil Armstrong
The Saturn V rocket blastsinto space.
The moment when Saturn V’s F1 engines fired, launching it from its tower.
The Apollo 11 crew took 4 days to reach the Moon.
Armstrong and Aldrin climbed into the Eagle Lunar Module
They landed on the Moon.
Collins stayed in the Columbia Command Module.
The Columbia Command Module at the National Air and Space Museum in the USA.
The Eagle Lunar Module which carried Armstrong and Aldrin
down to the land on the Moon.
On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first human to step on
the moon. He and Aldrin walked around for three hours. They did
experiments. They picked up bits of moon dirt and rocks. They put a
U.S. flag on the moon. They also left a sign on the moon.
Neil Armstrong said:“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”

Major Tim Peake became the first British astronaut inspace for over 20 years.
He was in the army and he was a helicopter pilot.
He blasted off to the International Space Station on15th December 2015.
He went in a Russian Soyuz rocket launched fromKazakhstan.
As part of his training he has learnt Russian, spent 12 days under the sea and completed a winter survival mission.

He used the gym on-board to ensure his muscles stayed strong.
Major Peake lived aboard
the International Space
Station for 6 months
conducting experiments.
He spoke to many school
children on Earth.
The International Space Station (ISS) is the size of a football field.
It travels at a speed of 17 500 mph at a height of 240 miles above
Earth and completes an orbit every 90 mins!

Major Peake returned to Earth on the 18th June 2016 via a Soyuz capsule which reached speeds of up to 28000 kilometres per hour!
Major Peake‟s first impression of
Earth was that the smells were
really strong.
Astronauts feel strange when they
return from space because of the
change in gravity.
Major Peake said he felt „terrible‟
shortly after his landing but quickly
began to feel better.
186 – Days in Space.
10 – The ISS moves 10 times faster than the speed of a bullet.
2800 – Approximate number of orbits of the Earth made.
114,240,000 – Approximate number of kilometres travelled by Tim Peake
during his time aboard the International Space Station.
5 cm – Temporarily, Major Peake could be up to 5cm taller than he was
when he left Earth!
1 – Number of times Tim Peake dialled the wrong number from space
and asked “Is that Planet Earth?”

#CosmicClassroom - the full lesson from astronaut Tim Peake aboard the International Space Station
I am up here at the Space Station! The ride here was rather bumpy but we made it here safe and sound. There are lots of cool things you can do here. First of all, there is no gravity which makes simple tasks very tricky.
I am enjoying doing summersaults and back flips. However, when I sleep I have to strapped in which can be a little uncomfortable. Eating can also be a challenge and I have to eat out of special packets which I heat up. I have been doing my exercises on a treadmill which again I have to be strapped to
My most favourite thing to do is to look down at planet earth and see how beautiful it is.
