As an introduction to the topic of stars I would read the story ‘Laura’s Star’ by Klaus Baumgart. If people don’t already have the book, I use a great website called Internet Archive, which is a free online library. You can access the book online as an e-book to read with the children. It’s a lovely story about a little girl who befriends a star that has fallen from the sky. ( I usually read the story Laura’s Christmas Star at Christmas which is a follow on from this story).

I have found Dr Binocs Show good for kids. In this short video, Dr Binocs (cartoon character) talks about the types of stars in the sky. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSuAPFMXcYM

Star Origami: Depending on the age of the pupils, probably 1st/ 2nd Class, the pupils will fold origami stars. As part of the lesson we would discuss star formation and geometric shapes. This video demonstrates the technique very clearly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1c7FIQt5UE
