Art and astronomy combo twinkles like the stars

Wonders of the cosmos: Nurul Syahirah making learning about astronomy fun for her primary school students.

JOHOR BARU: Instead of relying heavily on captured cosmos images on textbooks, a primary school teacher here is bringing the beauty of stars and planets into her classroom by using the brush, paint and canvas to teach astronomy.

Sekolah Kebangsaan Infant Jesus Convent Johor Baru teacher Nurul Syahirah Nazarudin, 29, who teaches English and art, said students are learning astronomy under science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
