This is how I would approach teaching the children about stars. I would start with singing Twinkle Twinkle little star and this will hopefully lead to a discussion around stars and what is known by the class already. When do we see stars etc? I really like using marbles to explain how many stars in the sky. I would show the following video of stars – https://youtu.be/B5unCXpegAw . I would use this video to explain the properties of a star – https://youtu.be/ZrS3Ye8p61Y. We would look at what star constellations are and I would pictures as examples. We would discuss where we see stars in music, art and books. In Art I would ask the class to look and respond to Van Gogh’s Starry Night https://youtu.be/6PndwgJuF3g. Create a starry sky by using toothbrushes on black paper or recreate Starry Night. Books I would use with this topic could include Katie and the Starry Night by James Mayhew, How to catch a star by Oliver Jeffers, Laura’ Star by Klaus Baumgart, Look Up by Nathan Bryan, Draw me a Star by Eric Carle.
