‘Look Up!’ Event

15th December 2020J Storey

Today, Years 1 & 2 joined a live online event by the Royal Astronomical Society, with the author and illustrator of the book ‘Look Up!’

This story encourages us all to look up from our phones to see the wonders of the universe.  We heard a full reading of the book read by Nathan Bryon and took part in a ‘draw along’ of the book’s main character ‘Rocket’.  We also learnt about the moon, meteors and how to become an astronaut.

Dapo Adeola, the illustrator, told us to remember that there is no such thing as a wrong drawing! Take a look at some of our wonderful drawings of ‘Rocket’.
