In Science P3A were learning about the sun, the moon and the earth.
We found out lots of interesting facts –
It takes 24 hours for the Earth to make a whole turn on it’s axis (Zach and Ibrahim).
The Earth is tilted 23.5 degrees on its axis (Zoe).
The Sun is the closest star to the Earth. (Hamza)
The stars are big balls of fire (Carla).
The moon takes 28 days to go around the Earth (Lucas and Muhammad Mu’aadh).
The Earth takes 365 and a quarter days to orbit the sun (Joseph and Oliver)
The moon has eight phases (Imaan).
We have four seasons because the Earth is tilted on its axis (Lucas).
We create some constellations using tin foil and white crayons. Constellations are groups of stars that make pictures. We looked at Draco, Pegasus, Orion, Ursa Major and The Plough .
