  During the first week we will talk about the space, planets, and rockets. Learning about space is all about the unknown, the ‘what if?’ s and the fascinating questions. It helps children become creative thinkers, to challenge current theories and to question uncertainties. Spark imagination and offer moral lessons – Fairy Tales.

Fairy tales also model behavior for children and provide a context in which children can evaluate their own emotions and decision making.
