There are lots of ways I would incorporate lessons on ‘The Moon’ into my classroom.
First, I would show the children the moon landing on Youtube – a short clip of Neil Armstrong and his famous “One small step for man, One giant leap for mankind”.
Next, I would teach some facts about the moon, space travel & astronauts probably using a powerpoint from Twinkl and also using facts from the websites mentioned in this module aswell as Youtube videos. For English we would do some factual writing and draw pictures on the topic of the moon. After this, I would allow the children to dress up as astronauts during Aistear where they pretend to be Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin landing on the moon. For Art, we would use paint to create the moon and include the craters. There are lots of great resources online & listed in this module to support the teaching of this in the classroom.
