Using a thematic approach in Infants I would teach/recap on the nursery rhyme twinkle twinkle little star. Depending on the time of year we would look at the phonics within the word star, be that the “s” sound or looking at “ar”. I would use the “Seeing Star” activity to make the plough constellation with the children. We would also combine art and paint pictures of different consellations, after explain what the word constellation is and showing different pictures of different constellations. In terms of maths, we would focus on day and night, the difference and activities we do in both (cutting and pasting).
