Space Race

Today we have found out about the 'space race' between the USA and USSR. We spent some time discussing the Cold War and were able to use the key words 'capitalist' and 'communism'.We created a time line of events and spent lots of time discussing who had been leading the space race before Neil Armstrong completed his moon landing.


We then had a look at the famous space race front cover from TIME magazine and had a go at creating our own. We learnt that China has now joined the space race and that the aim is to put humans back on the moon in 2020 as well as explore other planets.

We finished our lesson by thinking about which country had the most impact on the 'space race.' What did you think?

Here are some examples of our magazine covers.

    That was one of the things we did about the space race we learned that America won the race even though Russia had more achievements.
