An introduction to astronomy designed for students from Reception to Yr 2. Use games, models, pictures, stories and dress-ups and drawing to provide an overview of our solar system, our place in space and an introduction to the concept of constellations. This program avoids the need for a planetarium, which can be expensive and often scary for younger children. |
