Day and Night
This week in Year 5, we explored the fascinating concept of what creates day and night. To help us understand, we used tennis balls to represent the Earth and a torch as the Sun. By rotating the "Earth" and observing how the light from the "Sun" hit different parts, we were able to clearly see how day and night occur. The children used this hands-on activity to deepen their understanding and went on to create detailed explanations and labelled diagrams to demonstrate their learning. Well done, Year 5 scientists!
