I found this module very practical and helpful. The resources given are very well structured and laid out. I thought the You Tube clips were a nice resource also. The activity sets very excellent. I liked the set based on the moon and would use as follows:
Man on the Moon: I really liked the rhyme given as a nice starter for this activity. The visual art activity would work well. There were plenty of images of the moon provided to give the children something to work from. I think the idea of identifying shapes on the moon is a great way to focus the children’s attention and they would enjoy this.
What does the Moon look like? I would use the idea of the word bank here, I also like the worksheets provided for the phases of the moon. I think the You Tube clip explained the whole concept in a clear, child friendly way. I would also like to bring the children out to observe the moon in the morning as suggested.
Meet our Neighbours : I loved the idea of building a tactile moon with fabric, sequins etc. I like the suggestion to draw attention to features such as mountains and craters.
