I would use the activity set: The Moon
as a starter I would use the nursery rhyme “Hey Diddle, diddle”.
We would talk about the cow jumping over the moon. Do you think that a cow really could jump over the moon?
Discuss when we see the moon(at night) and it’s different phases and what names we use, full moon, half moon, crescent moon. Link to math and shapes.
Show video of the moon landing. In groups children record things they noticed in picture or word form. What does the surface of the moon look like? How do you think it would feel to touch? How were the astronauts feeling? Would you like to walk on the moon? Children to create their own picture of the moon landing and use junk art materials to make their own apollo 11 rocket.
