Module 2 assignment
The activity I would use in my classroom would be the activity set on the planets.
My reasoning for this is based on the following factors
1. I would question them at the beginning of the lesson and find out how much they already know about the planets and what they would like to find out.
2. I teach infants and they learn through song. The Planets Song (ESERO 1) would support their learning as it is engaging and fact-based.
3. They would listen to ‘We are the Planets’ (The Solar System Song) and they would discuss what information they learned in that song.
4. We would compare the two songs at the end of the lesson and discuss new words/information they learned in each song.
5. The children would consolidate their learning by working in groups to make balloon prints of the different planets using different colours, sizes etc.
