Hands-on classroom themed activity:
“In the sky, I can see”
How I would you use the activity :
I would use this as a whole class activity in infants. Discussion at first, brainstorming what we might see – outdoor activity – lying down on yoga mats and looking up the pupils spend 5 mins uninterrupted, looking up with the focus to return to a drawing activity from the activity sheet for what I see by day.
Following on from our lessons on constellations, I would then ask them to discuss and draw what we could see with the eyes at night.
Drawing on the activity sheet.
I would use the following : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNDUPDtrkjQ
to discuss daytime and nighttime and consolidate the activity with the pupils showing their drawings and explaining what they see.
I can see lots of linkage opportunities using this activity – oral language development, maths – time, vocabulary – opposites, pe – outdoor activities, sphe – mindfulness while looking , visual arts – looking and responding, drawing.
