Primary 2 in P2/3 will be learning about the patterns of movement over time of the sun, earth and moon in Science this term and how these relate to the length of a day, a month and a year.

For homework on this unit, parents could help their children to find out about the length of days and years on other planets in the Solar System and why they are different from those on earth.

Or, they could find out about an animal that hibernates and present their findings to the class with a drawing or picture they can talk about.  They could also make a moon diary for a month by drawing the shape of the moon at night for each day in February. They would need some help from an adult with this.
