Learning about Moon Craters and Day and Night

Phases of the Moon

We learnt why the moon changes shape.

We learnt that the moon doesn't make its own light. 

The moon revolves around earth in a fixed orbit. 

The moon reflects the suns light and depending on where the moon is in its orbit it will look different from earth. 

Here are some photos of us creating this.

We had one torch which was the sun, a foam ball which was the moon and our head was earth.

In a dark room we held the moon above the earth and slowly rotated so we could see how the sun reflects on the moon in different parts of its orbit.

2D Shapes

We have been learning about 2D shapes and how to describe them.
Here are a few activities we did to practise describing shapes.

Our Dream House

In maths have been learning how to work out the area using repeated addition and multiplication.

Here we have been practising how to use Google Slides by designing our dream house and working out the area.
