This term we are looking at the relationship between the Earth, Sun and Moon and how it affects our day to day life. We will be looking at how the Earth’s rotation causes the seasons to change and why we have daytime and night-time.

Last week, we learned the names of the 8 planets of the solar system using a handy phrase:

My – Mercury

Very – Venus

Excited – Earth

Mother – Mars

Just – Jupiter

Served – Saturn

Us – Uranus

Nachos – Neptune

The children created a little guide to help them remember and some challenged themselves to write in the names of the planets independently! Miss Ely was very proud of you!

This week, we looked at the Earth’s rotation around the Sun and discussed why it is sunny when it is daytime and dark when it is night-time. See below for some excellent pictures of creating our models!

If you are interested, please visit your local library when you can find lots of books and magazines about Space!

Onwards and Upwards,

Miss Ely 🙂
