It’s been very busy today as the children have been exploring why we have day and night before recreating the phases of the moon.
During the practical lesson, the children were able to recreate the rotation of the earth on it’s axis and we used torches for the sun. While they completed this task, it helped them understand day and night and why our shadows move throughout the day.
After lunch, the children discovered more about the phases of the moon and were able to recreate each stage. Of course, it was made even better when they could eat the moon at the end.
