Constellations are special groups of stars, each forming a specific shape and having its own name.
They operate like a dot-to-dot puzzle, where the stars are connected with invisible lines to create a
picture. These pictures often resemble animals, humans, or objects, and though they might sometimes
be challenging to see, the stars in a constellation, despite appearing close, can actually be quite distant
from each other.
This week, the Year 3-4 children delved into the fascinating world of constellations.
Now equipped with an understanding of what constellations signify, they created their own constellations using their names and incorporating various images into the starry backdrop.
The activity proved to be very engaging, with some children even continuing to paint on their space background using black paints.
