Investigating the movement of the Earth, Sun and Moon
Today we went outside to work in small groups. We took turns to be the Sun, Earth or Moon and orbited and spun to show how the 3 spherical bodies work together. This was a great introduction to our new science topic, even if it did leave us feeling a little dizzy.
