The First Moon Landing Projects


As part of their STE Education, the boys and girls in Rang a Dó explored our Solar System and developed a particular interest in the Moon, which led them to research the first Moon landing and the mission of Apollo 11. Throughout the project, they practised important skills such as looking up information in books and online resources, identifying and recording key facts, summarising their findings in their own words, working collaboratively in small groups, asking thoughtful questions, and confidently presenting their work.

Given the sunny weather in May the 1 st and 2nd class children have been bringing the beach to life with their sand and sea  beach scene paintings. The children painted beautiful seaside landscapes and brought of sense of individualism to their work by adding in colourful flip-flops they each designed. They also added other items of interest such as beach balls, sandcastles, crabs etc.   These paintings are now proudly displayed in outside our classroom, spreading a bit of summer joy to everyone who walks by.

The children transformed shoe-boxes and recycled materials into miniature beach scenes with sandy shores, sun umbrellas, crabs, sandcastles, surfboards and undersea creatures to name but a few included. It was wonderful to see the children's creativity, spatial awareness and teamwork skills on show.  Take a look at their fantastic creations below!
