Leading us to investigate the time it takes for our planet Earth to orbit the sun and moon, explaining how days, months, and seasons happen. The children were very intrigued by the different shapes of the moon they see at night time. Therefore the eight stages of the moon were taught, of course the use of jaffa cakes made this a very fun lesson!
Through the Science and technology area of learning, we have built our own Exo rovers. Ensuring they can be used over any terrain allowing them to provide information about our planets. We also measured how long they will last using battery power, while recording on a bar chart over a period of time.
What a wonderful way to end our summer term, with a fossil hunt to Lydstep beach. The children had a fantastic time and found lots of interesting fossils and enjoyed investigating the rock pools.
