Well…ask the youngest!

The village Šašinci belongs to the Sremska Mitrovica municipality, in Srem District. About 2000 people live there and, among them, our junior freshmen from first grade.

Almost the whole village was involved in one project “How to reach the Universe?” because our pupils decided to find the best way to explore the world outside our planet. Their mission was very serious, since they didn’t know anything about space…so they decided to ask their teachers, parents, cousins and neighbors for help. One group had to buy materials, and tools for creative part of the project. Finding the best place for showing children’s masterpieces was the task for another group…and theoretic part as well.

First step was to think about the way of transport. Children had to use paints, paper and plasticine to draw and build various types of planets, stars, rockets and space ships.

But,they still didn’t have the adequate road map! That was the moment for teacher to be involved. She introduced children planets of Solar system, they learned names, talked about position, size, shape and color of each planet, and tried to create the space map.

All activities were done during this autumn …. and here is the result!
