Ready to take your classroom decor to infinity and beyond? A space-themed classroom is more than a dreamy eye-catching set up — it sparks curiosity, creativity, and a sense of wonder every time students walk through the door.
Together, in collaboration with the ever so clever Philip Bunting, we've launched the Watch this Space Classroom Decor - a set of downloadable, editable and printable classroom resources, ready for your school year on Earth.
Whether you’re setting up for back-to-school or refreshing your room mid-year, here are some out-of-this-world space-themed decor ideas featuring Gifted and Talented Teacher favourites.
1. Statement Lettering Tiles: The Best Mix in 2026
Big, bold, and impossible to miss — the editable Lettering Tiles are designed to be your statement piece. Spell out motivational phrases like:
- “Blast Off Into Learning”
- “This Classroom is Stellar”
- “Dream Big, Reach for the Stars”
Pair the lettering with metallic or galaxy-print backing paper for a display that literally shines.
2. Astronaut Badges
Invite students into the classroom with their very own space badge. Designed to set the tone for a year of exploration, belonging, and personalised learning (and ultimately make every single student feel super special)!
These badges go beyond name tags... they're identity anchors and classroom culture builders. Send home as a keepsake to share with families or distribute these across the year.
What this does for your classroom:
- builds excitement for the new school year
- celebrates individual strengths
- establishes a shared space and unites the class
- encourages individuality, goal setting and a growth mindset
Top Tip: use each of the pre-written (and editable) positive descriptions in your report comments at the end of the a semester.
3. Digital Slides
Editable digital slides are customisable templates designed to help you plan, present, and organise classroom routines. Whether you're displaying your daily timetable, reminders, classroom expectations, instructions for group work, or morning welcome slides — these easy-to-edit formats are made to save time and streamline your teaching.
4. First Day of School Banner and Last Day of School Banner
First Day and Last Day banners are editable, printable signs designed to celebrate key milestones at the beginning and end of the school year.
Whether you're snapping a photo for families, documenting growth over time, or creating a keepsake for students — these banners are a simple yet meaningful way to mark the moment.
5. Noise Level Display for the Classroom
A noise levels display is a visual classroom management tool that helps students understand and regulate the expected volume during different activities.
Teachers can indicate the current noise level by clipping, highlighting, or pointing to the appropriate card — giving students a clear, consistent cue.
What this does for your classroom:
- supports a range of learners
- sets clear expectations
Top tip: display horizontally (at eye level) underneath a whiteboard using the below set. Set the expected noise level before moving from the floor to student desks.
6. A Space to Grow: Editable Bunting
The editable “Space to Grow” bunting is a versatile piece that works across the year. Hang it above your reading nook, classroom library, or writing station to remind students that growth is the goal. Included: Philip Bunting illustrations to scatter and mix and match throughout your classroom.
Teacher Tip: Pair the bunting with student work samples (writing pieces, artwork, or STEM projects) to create a rotating “space gallery” of achievements.
