As part of their Earth and Space topic, children in Year 5 have been learning about the phases of the moon. We know that the phases of the moon depend on its position in relation to the Sun and Earth and as the Moon makes its way around the Earth, we see the bright parts of the Moon’s surface at different angles, known as the ‘phases’ of the moon.

We had a fun and ‘tasty’ afternoon using biscuits to represent the phases of the moon.
