I would start with stories /songs and poems about the stars and night sky. There are so many wonderful resources available on line. This will peak their interest and stimulate so much interest in the activity to come.
So much Art /Craft can be integrated and linked to the activity. We could make star mobiles/decorate the night sky with stars which they could colour.
In Maths we could make up our own star problems during Maths talk.
By now they are ready and set to start the
Star Activity: Draw your own constellation
It’s a most beautiful activity which lends itself to so much oral language as I am circulating. The children will use their imaginations to draw their own constellations with the template provided.
With my own templates then I can provide star constellations in shapes of various animals and they will have great fun talking about their constellations and giving them names
They can then cut around their constellations and paste them on to a black background which will serve as the night sky.
Finally, we can create oral stories about the adventures of their animal constellations in the sky.!
