Assessing prior knowledge

 We started this week finding out what Grade 1s already know about space. We did it posting up statements about objects on space, and the learners wrote their names under YES column if they agree, NO column, if they do not agree and MAYBE column if they are not sure.

Some of the statements include:

- The sun is a star.

- Pluto is a planet.

- The coldest planet is Jupiter.

- There are 8 planets in the solar system.

- Others
