    I would use the activity set ‘The Planets’ to teach my lesson as I feel the children would love this. My class this year especially loved STEM based activities and science evoked a sense of curiosity within them.
    I would begin by finding out their prior knowledge on ‘The Planets’. I’d then use ‘The Planets song’ as my stimulus. I’d also have a visual representation of the planets for the children to look at. I’d then start with a game using a yellow hula hoop as the sun and other coloured hula hoops as different planets. I’d give each group of children one planet and if I called their planet, they’d have to jump into their hula hoop. After that, I’d let the children in their groups research their planet on the iPad. At the end of that lesson, I’d review what new learning has been obtained. The next day we’d make papier Mache models of our planet. I’d also try to organise a talk on the planets with an outside agency via zoom if possible, to consolidate the learning.
