Blast off with this creative and exciting theme. Right from the start, this theme promotes children’s thinking and questioning. They investigate the night sky and look at it in a way that they have never done before. They travel to the stars and think about what lies beyond their world. Using Van Gogh’s beautiful works, they are encouraged and stimulated to create their own pictures. A focus on A PSHEC/PDMU in this theme helps the children consider how they are “stars” and who else are the “stars” in their lives. With lots of suggested activities for Play-Based Learning, the only problem with this theme will be stopping it!

This is a practical and action-packed theme with a strong focus on Science and movement and energy; concepts that can be difficult to integrate into the early year’s program. With activities focusing on designing, making, and doing, this theme opens a range of problem-solving and decision-making opportunities, so dive right in!
