P3: The Book of Blast Off

3, 2, 1. . . Blast off! Take a trip into outer space with 15 real-life space missions. Visit Sputnik 1, the first satellite to ever orbit Earth or meet Jessica Meir and Christina Koch, two astronauts on the first ever all-female spacewalk. After reading, why not do your best astronaut impression? How would you walk if there was no gravity?

Enjoy this video recording of The Book of Blast Off by Timothy Knapman and Nik Henderson. The Book of Blast Off will be gifted to every P3 child in Scotland this year through their P3 Read Write Count bag.
