Write your own poem using the same title, perhaps borrowing ideas from this poem.

Draw a picture or make a model of something from the poem

At night,

I lean out of the window and sip cool darkness. Speckles of starlight

freckle the night’s face. The moon casts

bone-white light. A fox nudges a dustbin,

hunting for scraps.

Sleek cats sneak down back alleys –

a lone car accelerates up the empty road.

Late night city lights glare, glowering on street corners.

I whisper a wish into the silence. A planet blinks its tiny red eye.

The space above me yawns forever. Shop doorways settle down to sleep.

Dawn is a cup of coffee away.

Poem of the Week: Key Stage 2 Space Staring By Pie Corbett

It may sound like science fiction, but scientists and governments are planning to send 100 everyday people to colonise Mars! It's a one-way-ticket, and those who are chosen can never return. They must start new friendships and families, and forever live on the Red Planet.

Would you like to become a Martian?

It will take around 260 days to get there. Like all space travel, the journey alone will be extremely dangerous. Once the crew get there, they will have many difficult trials and tasks ahead of them. Activity 1 What kind of issues do you think they will have to deal with? Where will you get water, food and shelter? Look at the pictures below to give you some ideas. What might you have to do to get over these problems?

Activity 2 You can take up to 100 people with you to Mars. What kind of people would you want or need on your journey? What kind of personality should they have? What kind of skills or experience would they need? What kind of jobs would be best? Write an advert to encourage people to apply to come to Mars, thinking about the kind of people you think would be best.

Activity 3 Write a list of good things and bad things about becoming a Mars Astronaut. Then explain whether you would or wouldn’t like to go on the mission to Mars.

Activity 4 Write a letter to the selection committee at mars one explaining why you would be an ideal candidate to become a Mars Astronaut. Really try to sell yourself, write all about your many positive character traits and why they would be beneficial for life on Mars. Use persuasive language and think carefully about punctuation – don’t forget to write in paragraphs!

Activity 5 What 10 items would you take to Mars and why?

Would you need them to survive?

Would they be for entertainment?

Draw each item you would like and then explain why you would take each item, giving as much detail as possible.

Activity 6 There will have to be some new laws and rules so that life on mars is successful and pleasant. Your crew noticed your intelligence and courage, and decided that you should be the leader, so you should come up with the new set of at least 10 laws. Good luck brave Martian!!!

Androcles and the Lion

A slave named Androcles once escaped from his master and fled to the forest. As he was wandering about there he came upon a Lion lying down moaning and groaning. At first he turned to flee, but finding that the Lion did not pursue him, he turned back and went up to him. As he came near, the Lion put out his paw, which was all swollen and bleeding, and Androcles found that a huge thorn had got into it, and was causing all the pain. He pulled out the thorn and bound up the paw of the Lion, who was soon able to rise and lick the hand of Androcles like a dog. Then the Lion took Androcles to his cave, and every day used to bring him meat from which to live. But shortly afterwards both Androcles and the Lion were captured, and the slave was sentenced to be thrown to the Lion, after the latter had been kept without food for several days. The Emperor and all his Court came to see the spectacle, and Androcles was led out into the middle of the arena. Soon the Lion was let loose from his den, and rushed bounding and roaring towards his victim. But as soon as he came near to Androcles he recognised his friend, and fawned upon him, and licked his hands like a friendly dog. The Emperor, surprised at this, summoned Androcles to him, who told him the whole story. Whereupon the slave was pardoned and freed, and the Lion let loose to his native forest.

Gratitude is the sign of noble souls.
