The Moon Landing Exit Slip

About this worksheet

A Year 1 history exit slip for the end of a lesson on the Moon landing. Each slip has a name line and one question: who was the first person to walk on the Moon. Two dotted lines give room for the answer. Below them, pupils circle one of five faces to show how they feel about today. There are three slips across two pages, two on page 1 and one on page 2. There is no answer key, as the one answer is Neil Armstrong. The slip links to the England National Curriculum for KS1 history.

Curriculum objectives covered

Significant individuals

โ€œThe lives of significant individuals in the past who have contributed to national and international achievements. Some should be used to compare aspects of life in different periods [for example, Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria, Christopher Columbus and Neil Armstrong, William Caxton and Tim Berners-Lee, Pieter Bruegel the Elder and LS Lowry, Rosa Parks and Emily Davison, Mary Seacole and/or Florence Nightingale and Edith Cavell]โ€

The single question asks pupils to recall Neil Armstrong by name. It checks recall only and does not compare him with anyone.

Events beyond living memory

โ€œEvents beyond living memory that are significant nationally or globally [for example, the Great Fire of London, the first aeroplane flight or events commemorated through festivals or anniversaries]โ€

Partly met. The question rests on the Moon landing as an event, but the slip asks only for a name.
