Your FREE Hot Poets lesson: 🔥 Rubbish Robots! KS2 (Y5 & Y6)

This lesson is about….. SPACE JUNK

There are tens of thousands of pieces of space junk circling our planet — old satellites, bits of spacecraft and debris left behind by decades of space exploration. But how on Earth (or off it) do you clean up space? ELSA-M is a real mission designed by Astroscale to do just that: finding and collecting old satellites orbiting our planet.

Join Michael Rosen and Hot Poet, Chris Redmond for a creative adventure into space, combining poetry, science and one very big clean-up challenge.
