Activity Set – Stars
I would use a video and some images of stars and constellations, encouraging the children to wonder about patterns, shapes, names etc.
I would show the children different constellations and ask them to discuss how they think they got their names.
The main activities I would have the children complete would be the Draw your own constellations. Magpie-ing from another post, I would also use peg boards to allow the children to create their own constellations.
I love the idea of linking Art and Science so the next step would be for the children to make their own star lanterns. Instead of the torch, I would use battery operated tea lights so the children could bring them home once complete and SESE focus has moved on to something else.
