P.5/4 have recently been learning all about the phases of the moon as part of our new topic: Space.

Learning intentions

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.

Success Criteria

• 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.

One way in which we displayed our findings about the phases of the moon was by using Oreo cookies!

Eventually, our cookies resembled this diagram:

Over the coming weeks, for homework, we will be observing and recording the moon to see whether it matches up with what we have been learning.
