The legend of the moon.

Long long, ago when there was no moon, cam the good man of kindness had four sisters Flo, Eva, Clara and Riya who all were fighting with each other because they all wanted the diamond necklace. Cam was sick of his sisters fighting so he threw the diamond necklace into the sky. Seven of the beads became Matariki and the diamond turned into the moon. Everyone was happy because there was light at night but the four sisters were very angry. After all that the sisters became very nice to each other. Now when they look at the night sky they remember that they should never fight.

Term 2

This term the value we are focusing on is Responsibility(Kawenga). I will take responsibility for my learning and deliberately enter the 'learning pit'.

I will use my initiative, as well as, take responsibility for myself and my belongings. I don't want to get 'stuck on the escalator'!

Planet Earth & Beyond

This term we are studying ‘Planet Earth and Beyond’. Part of this Inquiry includes looking at how we get shadows, as well as day and night. Over the term we will be doing different investigations to better our understanding. Below is a sample of my current thinking.

We have used chalk to trace around our shadow to see how it changes. I have noticed that in the morning the shadow is long but it gets shorter. Then in the afternoon it starts getting longer again. The shadow also moved around.

I wonder why it gets longer & shorter?
