Today we spent more time exploring our mini science topic.

First, we looked again at the phases of the moon. We looked at the website of Woodlands Junior School which has some great information.

We completed our own guide to the different phases of the moon.

Then, we made some models of the moon, earth and sun to help us explain how they move around each other.

After playtime, we started to create our own out of this world pictures.

We used plates and other circle shapes to create planet outlines on black paper, using our soft crayons. Some of the planets had to be just peeking out from the edges.

We were allowed to use any colours we wanted, as we were creating our own special planets.

Next, we splattered white and yellow paint over our picture for stars. Some of them turned into shoooting stars!

Finally, we added our own faces to astronaut cutouts and added them to our picture.

Here is our science display outside our classroom.
