I did a lesson very similar to this with my Junior Infant class last year Aoife. The children were engaged in the lesson instantly when we opened it with the song ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’. We then went on to speak about the stars and I shared some basic facts about them. The children were so interested and fascinated by the idea of stars being so huge and so far away. We spoke about the shape of stars and how bright they are too. We also finished our lesson with the children decorating, designing and cutting out their own stars that we stuck onto large black paper to create our own Space Wall.
I have Junior Infants again in the coming school year so I hope to do the same lesson with them as it was so engaging for them.
Hello everyone,
My name is Laura and I have been teaching Junior Infants for the past three years and will teach them again this coming September.
Space has always been one of my favourite topics to teach the Infants over the years. One Space fact that I find interesting is that driving a car to the nearest star at 70 mph would take more than 356 billion years! I just find the vastness of Space so interesting and so hard to comprehend.
