3. Spacewalk and return to Earth
In the final session of this unit the children take a spacewalk to mend the problem with the rocket, before returning to earth.
On the way they revisit the dances for black holes and binary stars and perform a Solar System movement sequence in a class circle, with actions for the different planetary bodies.
A final splashdown brings the astronauts in a landing capsule into the sea, and back to Earth for a relaxing cool down.
