Laika the Astronaut (retold)

Laika has a job to do. The people are too scared to be the first ones to go into space, so they’re sending Laika to go first – and let’s hope she comes back home after. But something goes wrong, and Laika is left floating in the darkness... what will happen to her?

Task questions:

• Is it fair to send Laika into space?
• If she wants to go, is it fair?
• If she doesn’t want to go, is it fair?
• When she gets lost, is it Laika’s fault? Or the humans?
• Is it safe to send Laika into space?
• If she gets lost, was it safe?
• If she finds a new home, was it safe?
