The topic I have chosen is stars I learned an offer a lot in the last module about fun activities that I could use in my teaching of this topic. Firstly, I would start off by reading a book to the children call my pet star. We would use this book as the basis for our lesson and we would discuss all the advantages and disadvantages of having a star as a pet.
We would then move onto discuss star constellations and we would learn to draw and re-create some of them as part of an art lesson. For the children would have to re-create the stars using their bodies, cones beanbags etc.
The children would then begin to re-create their own story where the main character is a star.
