To celebrate the launch and first discoveries of the James Webb Space Telescope, Discovery Diaries, STFC, and the Webb UK campaign are offering MORE free resources to bring the excitement of space into primary classrooms.
“Thanks to the amazing crew at Webb Telescope UK and the STFC, we are giving away another 3,000 copies of the Deep Space Diary to schools across the UK. If you are a primary school teacher working in the UK, you are eligible to apply for a free set of 30 copies, plus a poster and welcome letter. Books are available in either English or Welsh.” – Curved House Kids
Following an exciting launch in December 2021, Webb has travelled a million miles from Earth and unfolded to the size of a tennis court to begin its work exploring the Universe. Its first discoveries of stars, galaxies and exoplanets are expected in Autumn 2022, making the resources highly topical for the 22/23 school year.
The Deep Space Diary is a flexible resource that can be used for an inspiring cross-curricular space-themed week of learning or embedded to teach a range of subjects. Pupils can learn about topics including the Solar System, light, coordinates, formal writing, D&T and coding, whilst enhancing researching and problem-solving skills.
