This week we have been learning about day and night – we started the week listening to the story ‘Night Monkey and Day Monkey’. We know that daytime is when the sun is in the sky and there is light and that at night time the moon and the stars are visible in the sky. We know that we don’t see the sun at night and the sky is dark at night. This led us into discussion about what is darkness? We learnt that darkness is the absence of light and we learnt to name different light sources such as the sun, torches, lamps, street lights and candles! We then looked at different activities and decided whether we did them in the daytime, night time or both such as; eating breakfast, brushing teeth, go to school, have a wash and brush hair! We have thought about nocturnal animals (the children were excellent at recalling what this word means) and could name the 5 nocturnal animals we have previously learnt about!
Our learning activities this week have included; using oil pastels to create day and night pictures, painting handprint monkeys, writing about what we can see in the day and night and in the dough, we have been making hedgehogs by adding matchsticks for spikes and googly eyes! For our funky finger activity, we have been using tweezers to balance marbles on golf tees!
