The children recently focused on the theme ‘Space’ during
Aistear. The boys and girls identified the eight major planets of the solar system and their characteristics, learned about Neil Armstrong and the first moon landing and
discovered lots of fascinating facts about this interesting topic.
Creative Station
The children created a picture of the solar system using pastels. Check out their masterpieces below. They are all 'out of this world!'
SESE Station
The boys and girls carried out an experiment called ‘Blast Off!’ The children worked like scientists to test how far they could make their rockets travel. Rockets were launched into the air and almost landed on the moon!
Fine Motor Station
The children developed their fine motor skills lacing planets, the sun and the moon. They also worked with pegboards to design rockets, planet Earth and stars. Some children even designed and made their very own space crafts. Check out the children in action below!
The children had a blast conducting scientific experiments and tests, exploring moon rocks and researching the planets in the Space Station. In Room 1, there are definitely some astronauts in the making.
