As part of Tim Peake’s mission to the International Space Station (ISS) a range of activities that use the context of space have been developed for use by primary schools. Space Ambassadors will help schools take part in these space activities all designed to inspire pupils to engage with their learning.
This is a UK-wide project and ESERO-UK expect to work with a total of 500 primary schools during the academic year beginning 2015. (England (400), Scotland (50), Wales (30) and NI (20)). Space Ambassadors are paid £500 per school and can indicate how many schools they have the capacity to work with.
The National Science Learning Centre are working with ESERO-UK to help primary schools use the context of space to increase:
• pupils’ enjoyment and engagement in science, numeracy and literacy lessons
• confidence in learning science and working scientifically
• knowledge of career opportunities available to pupils who study science and maths subjects
• pupil attainment in Science
• teacher confidence in teaching space topics
