    Teaching infants, as we know, is predominantly done through hands on activities. I will defintely be using the Stellarium website for stargazing, particularly seeing as a lot of my children live in a built up town and don’t often have the opportunity to see the stars clearly. I will also be using peg boards to create constellations. Great idea!

    I will also encourage the children to poke out constellations on paper or card and then shine a flashlight through them in a dark classroom to let the children see and guess their own constellations

    I think it is so important to see aspects that they can relate to to get a better understanding. I always show children the outfits they wear in space and also what they eat and how they live in space. Tim Peake, Karen Nyberg and Chris Hasfeild have some brilliant videos where they demonstrate eating, sleeping, brushing their teeth, washing in space and the children love it
