A lesson I would teach about the planets in my classroom:
Stimulus: I would start by reading the storybook ‘I want to be an astronaut’ to the students. This book explores the solar system and the planets that orbit the Sun.
Planet Song: I would then introduce the planet song to the students. I would play the video and encourage them to listen to the song and follow along with the lyrics.
Art lesson: The students will discuss and name the characteristics of the different planets, playing attention to colours and finer details. The students will work in pairs to create a planet each, using fabrics and fibres and different materials around the room.
7.Assessment: The students will do a walking gallery around the room to see what the students have created. They will then return to their seats and provide a comment or compliment to someone else in the room.
