Space

Space ~ a fascinating and exciting theme. Here are some of the books that were used.
People who worked in 'SPACE' - such as engineers, space scientists, astronauts, etc.
Astronaut crafts. Children painted the astronauts and drew the faces. The other craft was to paste rolled crepe papers to make the space suits.
What does an astronaut wear to go into space? From the book 'The Astronaut' , the children learned what he wears as shown below.
How do you travel in space? In a space shuttle. In this exercise (based on the book 'The Space Shuttle' by Jillian Cutting), the objectives were to learn the things that are found in space and the sequencing of the story (timeline). The children also learned writing skills, creativity, illustrating and comprehension of the story.
Facts of the earth and moon. Are there aliens in outer space? The aliens drawn by the children.
PANTUN

The beauty of the moon and the stars are described in this 'pantun' for Hari Raya greetings. Here the children learned simple 'pantun', Bahasa Melayu, writing skills and comprehension. Their illustrations showed their understanding of the meaning of the 'pantun'.
