Globes and the sun!


This week we have been exploring the differences between night and day. Today we discussed how the Sun is stationary and it is us that moves! A very difficult concept to explain and hopefully if it ever gets sunny, we will go outside and measure how the sun moves across our skyline. Tomorrow we're going to be looking at shadows and how they are created and altered depending on the source of light. Finally, another thing we'll be coming on to is discussing the difference between natural and artificial light. 
A quick quiz: See if you can sort out these things...

Sun
Moon
Candle
Stars

Are they a natural source of light, an artificial source of light or not a source of light at all?

Just a quick note to say thank you for all the effort that you are putting in at home to help your children with their reading, writing and maths! It is certainly showing in the classroom.
