We are learning to safely observe and recording the sun and moon at various times.

We are learning to describe the patterns of movement of the sun and moon and changes over time.

• I can safely observe the sun and moon and make recordings of what I see.
• I can understand the stages of the moon.
• I can relate these to the length of a day, a month and a year.

This week Primary 4 have been investigating the sun and the moon, we started by watching a video from Glow Science about Day and Night. You can view the video here by using your Glow log in. We then made our own sun viewers so we could safely view the sun. When we went outside to observe the sun we observed that it was in the west.

We then investigated the different phases of the moon by replicating a lunar month by using Oreo cookies and creating a phases of the moon flip book. We self and peer assessed our work using Yammer.

Learning at home:

• As homework we are recording what the moon looks like each night.
• Ask us to log into Yammer so you can see our learning and leave a comment with us. We need our Glow log in for this.
• Take us to the library we can read books and find out information about the sun and moon.
