This week we have started our new topic on Night and Day/Sea turtles. The reason for the combination is that our link with sea turtles is heavily related to day and night.
We have begun by looking at time lapse videos of day turning into and night and vice versa. The children made some very good observations and had some good questions about why this happens. See if your child can remember if its the sun that moves or us?
We also looked at the website below throughout the day to see how different parts of the world experience day and night:
Some possible things to do/talk about surrounding night & day/sea turtles:
Check out pupil links for websites to look at.
Think of daytime and night time words and match them up.
Write a letter to the man on the moon.
Build a rocket to go into space.
Find out how far you are from the sea.
Make a boat that floats on water.
As always, using information books to find out about different aspects of the topic.
The children also had the opportunity to decide upon a new role play area; they decided that they would like a pet shop/vets so hopefully this will be changed throughout the week.
