Over the last couple of weeks, we have been focusing our writing lessons on the children’s book ‘Man on the Moon.’ As the title suggests, it is about a day in the life of Bob, a man who lives on Earth but works on the Moon.
All the children have been really engaged with this learning and we’ve even had a look at the first moon landing in 1969!
This week, the children thought about appropriate questions (using inferred events) they would like to ask Bob.
Is it cold on the moon?
Where do you sleep?
Do you enjoy your job?
Why do you need to wear a special suit?
We decided to see if we could send our questions to Bob. However, Bob is a busy man so instead he sent us a prop to help with our queries.
All the children were excited to try the suit on. 
Questions and answers
The children took it in turns to ask the astronaut a question and shake hands.
Learning and exploring through drama allows the children to be actively involved. It is a great way to spark imaginations and creativity and this helps to build ideas for writing.
We even enjoyed a spot of moon walking!
