What causes day and night?

On Tuesday we used google maps to zoom to outer space and look at the earth.


We started at Halswell school...

We saw Christchurch and the South Island


Then we could see the whole of New Zealand.

Now we can see Australia too and the clouds.



When we had zoomed all the way out we could see some of the Earth was dark.
Where do you think the sun is?

We talked with a partner about what we thought was happening. Then we wrote what we thought in our books.



What do you think?

  1. Great writing. You are learning lots of interesting things about space. Have you been outside when it is dark to look at the stars? If you look carefully you can see the planet Mars at the moment, it is an orange colour.
