Did you know that there are eight phases of the lunar moon?
In Kea we have been learning about the different moon phases.
First, we sat down on the mat and watched a few videos. After the videos we split into our writing groups and did the experiment.
The things we needed were a glue stick, pencil, white A4 paper, and black paper, scissors, and a stapler.
We sat down and started our experiment. I cut the black paper around the drawn circle. Next we traced the circle onto one of the pieces of white paper and cut it out. After, we glued the black circle onto the white paper (the other one, not the one we cut), and stapled the two white papers together.
Finally I went to paint the moon cycles around the outside, until someone’s paint fell onto mine and it was ruined! I made a second one and it worked. I felt relief. We all sat down and went to play. It was a fun experiment and a really cool one.
