Rocket into the Future

Groupwork for Key Stage 2

 Group of primary school-aged children carrying books with symbols for different subjects above their heads, for example a test tube for science.


Rocket into the Future is a series of interactive galactic-themed workshops which encourage KS2 (Years 4 to 6) students to think about their future.

It's designed to support schools in ensuring their students are prepared for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life, and help them make links between different subjects and the world of work.
