Space Aistear

This April Senior Infants explored the Space theme in Ms Dinan’s infant classroom. There was plenty to discover, with lots of fun and learning at every station. Children acted out a rocket launch at the home corner, with a spaceship they painted themselves and a backdrop they took lots of research and planning to paint also. They made jig-saws of planets, used an ipad to explore a 3D sun and planets, created a window picture and wrote sentences about what they saw. They also built rockets using magnetic shapes. A final station explored a planet surface with various rocks, stars and aliens. They used special sand for this that the class made in a science lesson the previous week to make a type of sand.
