I’ve learned some nice ideas doing this course for Space week.
Class plan for a Senior Infants class might look like the following:
English: Passport into Space, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star ( oral language, rhyming, phonics), Astronomy Picture of the day( oral language).
Aistear: Space themed stations including role play, Marvin and Milo puppets, designing and constructing spacecraft, playdoh for making aliens etc
Maths: Launching a Rocket for counting backwards 5,4,3,2,1
Space themed maths games, counting stars, counting the planets etc
Art/Science: Make a Rocket Mouse and launch it, Make star constellations
Geography: Virtual tours using Stellarium and SpaceWeek.ie
History: Learn about Neil Armstrong
Drama: Space themed role play
Gaeilge: Fóclóir and activities based on space, Twinkle Twinkle as Gaeilge.
PE: Space themed games: duck duck gooose could become astronaut astronaut alien, Make up a space dance- how astronauts would dance in space and on the moon( this would tie in nicely with gravity)
