The Earths movement in Space
Today, we consolidated our knowledge of how the Earth moves in Space by making some split-pin models!
Tanzii TV
The children had lots of fun today with Tanzii TV! They learnt about healthy food choices whilst participating in some fun exercises.
Science- Why does the Moon look different at night?
To kickstart our Earth and Space topic, the children learnt about The Lunar Cycle and why the Moon does not look the same every night. They learnt that the Moon orbits Earth and where it is in its cycle and how close it is to the Sun, depends on what we see on Planet Earth. We used Oreos to help us remember! There was lots of giggles as they scraped the creamy filling out to make the different Moon phases. You could ask your child to try and spot the Moon and tell you what phase it is in. Is it a...
*New Moon
*Waxing Crescent
*First Quarter
*Waxing Gibbous
*Full Moon
*Waning Gibbous
*Last Quarter
or
*Waning Crescent??
Role-play Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
The children had a great time learning about the legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. In small groups, they choose one of the main characters and re-enacted the story to the class. They choose some interesting props to help them!! They remembered the key events of the legend very well.
Roman Numerals
The children consolidated their Roman Numeral knowledge and learnt that D=500 and that M=1000. They used lolly-pop sticks to help. Over the next few weeks, you could ask your child to tell you the date in Roman Numerals to help them practise their super learning.
