This month we were very lucky to go on a class trip to the Science Center. At the Planetarium we learned a lot of facts about the earth, stars and the moon.  Rachael said, “We saw lots different planets and stars that you can join together to make a picture, these are called constellations.”

 

In Science we have been learning about the phases of the moon for example gibbous moon, full moon, crescent moon, new moon, half moon and quarter moon.  We also learned how we get day and night and the seasons.  Sophie said, “We have also been learning about the human body and how it works.  We have played some games to help us learn.” Emma even drew a picture and labelled it with facts about the human body and shared the facts she learned with the class.”

 

In ICT we have been using our skills to make a PowerPoint about the phases of the moon.  Emma said, “In art we have been using different strategies to make a moon”. We used chalk, pastels and different shades of grey to make our pictures.

 

Logan said, “In music we have started learning different musical instruments from Peter and the Wolf that represent different characters from the story.”

 

In Social Studies we have been learning about wants and needs.  For example a need is something you can’t live without and a want is something you would like to have but could live without it.
