Resource sheetResource sheet 1.2 Stimulus poster

Elly and Steve looked at the poster and then looked at each other.

‘What do you think?’, Elly said, her eyes wide with excitement and expectation. Steve looked back.

‘No time to waste. It’s the 25th today and it’s nearly 6! Come on, let’s go.’

A week later they were ready for the biggest adventure of their lives…

Are you 11 years old?Are you young and enthusiastic?Do you want to build the future?

Resource sheetResource sheet 1.4 Worries and fears

I was scared about going to secondary school. I thought I would get lots of homework and I wouldn’t be able to do it.

I was excited about starting my new school. I wanted to join the football team and to meet new people. I was worried that I might be disappointed.

I am the only person coming from my class to my new school. I was worried that everyone else would have a friend and wouldn’t want to know me.

I was sad to leave my old school and thought I would miss all my old friends.

I was worried about starting secondary school because it is really big and I thought I would get lost.

I was terrified that the teacher would make me read out loud in front of the class and I might make a mistake.

My sister told me all sorts of stories about the older children in the school. I was scared that they might pick on me.

I was worried about being the smallest in the school.

Resource sheetResource sheet 1.6 Space apprentice challenge

Dear space apprentices

The world’s resources are getting short and we need to find new planets across the solar system to settle. We are searching for a group of young people to take part in a mission, perhaps the most important mission ever embarked upon! The mission will be to go deep into space, further than anyone has gone before and find a new world in which to live.

We are searching for groups of very special young people that are up to the challenge.

If you want to make a real difference and are part of a group of four to six young people who are up to the challenge, we want to hear from you. You will need to prepare a presentation for the Mission Council. We need to know:

• the skills and attributes of the group and the individuals within it;

• the rules or charter you have devised to ensure that the group remains peaceful and group members are able to work effectively together;

• why you think your group will successfully complete the mission;

• a name, logo and tag line for your group.

Your presentation should provide us with evidence that you can work creatively together so we expect it to be interesting, lively and creative.

We are looking forward to seeing your presentation and finding the group of young people to go on this mission of discovery.

Yours sincerely

Controller of the Mission Council

Resource sheetResource sheet 1.7 On our way!

Elly could hardly keep still. She was so excited as she listened to the phone ringing. Then a deep voice shouted, ‘Hello, if you’re trying to sell me something, I don’t want it.’ It was Bill, mum’s boyfriend. ‘It’s me, Elly. Is my mum there?’

Elly could hear Bill shouting and then she heard her mum’s voice, ‘Ask her if I can phone back, I’m busy.’

Before Bill could relay the message Elly was shouting, ‘I need to speak to her now. Later will be too late!’ Bill seemed to understand because the phone went dead and then she heard mum’s voice, ‘Hello, Elly, how lovely to hear from you!’ Elly couldn’t wait and butted in and told mum everything. There was silence when Elly had finished.

That night Elly couldn’t sleep. She tossed and turned and thought about all the things she would miss about home, her friends, her school, everything. What if she had made a terrible mistake and Steve was right – it was a five-year journey into space and not a reality TV show! She got up a couple of times to go and see if anyone else was up but the house was silent. It seemed as if she had only just got to sleep when she was startled awake by a loud knocking on the door. It was Steve.

Dad had made them a huge breakfast. There was bacon, eggs, sausage, and beans. Elly looked at the plate and felt sick. Her stomach was churning. She took a couple of sips of tea and then dashed to the loo again.

Elly looked at Steve who had picked up the plate and was licking the last remnants from the plate. ‘How can you eat on a day like today? Don’t you care?’ It was then she noticed Steve’s face for the first time. He might be eating but he looked even more scared than she was. He whispered, ‘What if we’re not good enough? What if we fail?’

Elly was surprised. It hadn’t crossed her mind that they might fail. She’d been so busy thinking about all the things that she would miss.

There was no time for any more thoughts as the taxi was there and in five minutes they were at the space station and it wasn’t long before they were walking up the steps waving to Dad. Elly searched the faces in the crowd for her mum but she wasn’t there.

Resource sheetResource sheet 1.12 The goodbye challenge

Now you are feeling a bit more settled into your new school it is time to stop and reflect about the school you left behind.

Your challenge is to work in a group to mark this occasion and create a message that will let the people you left behind know that you are OK. You can choose what you create but it should include:

• something that lets people know you are OK;

• a record of some of the feelings you had when you started your new school and how you dealt with them;

• something to show people about your new life;

• something to say thank you for the things you valued in your old school;

• a personal message.

You should make your ‘Hello, goodbye’ message as interesting as possible. It should have a visual element and some words. You might want to write an illustrated letter, create a short film, or use the computer or video camera.

In your groups make sure that everyone shares their own personal message and everyone is involved in making the challenge a success.

You will have 30 minutes at school and homework time to complete the challenge.

Resource sheetResource sheet 1.13 Steve's diary

Hello diary. You’ll never guess what happened to me today. Elly and I saw a poster outside the Town Hall and we were selected to go on the ‘Mission to the Future’. We will be searching out new worlds to save humankind! It means that we will have to leave our friends and family but they said we will be able to talk to them through our special space net system. Well, that’s what the leaflet says. Elly says it is a reality TV show but I’m not so sure. It is so exciting.

Hello diary. Only five days to go and I can’t believe it. I can’t be going to leave my friends. Anyway, it won’t make any difference – places are all the same. One bed is just like another – it might be on a spaceship but …

Hello diary. We have blast off. I thought it would be really exciting. It was sad to say goodbye to my friends and to my family but Elly is here. It is really exciting to be off at last. There is plenty to keep us busy – meeting new friends, learning new stuff.

Hello diary. What have we done? Elly was looking really sad today. She even burst into tears when I made a joke about her hair. Normally she doesn’t care. I couldn’t really cheer her up because I was missing home so much, all those familiar places that I might never see again. I am even missing my family.

Hello diary. At first everything seemed so exciting and new but each day is pretty much the same. We get up and do activities – I shouldn’t go on about it but I realise that this is what it is going to be like from now until we get out of here.

Hello diary. I didn’t think about home once today and when Elly asked me what I was going to do, I said, ‘Go home’. I meant I was going back to our section of the ship. I suppose it is beginning to feel like home.

Hello diary. Today, Elly and I went to the information centre and started to look at the range of opportunities there are on board. We want to make our mark so that when we arrive we will be able to make a real contribution.

Hello diary. I have been elected to the Grand Council. This will allow me to be part of all the big decisions on board the ship. I have such a lot to be getting on with. There are so many new things to learn to prepare us for the mission.
