This week Nursery have been learning all about the Moon. We have learnt about what the Moon actually is, where it is, what it is made of and how astronauts would travel to the moon. We have researched information about Neil Armstrong and found out some amazing facts! We thought about what it would be like on the moon and discovered that there are no grass, trees, plants, houses, animals or people. In fact we have learnt that there is no oxygen or water on the Moon and so the moon can not sustain life as we know it here on earth. The children found this fascinating! We also discovered that the moon's surface is full of craters which are big holes or dents made by asteroids. We investigated how craters are formed by dropping stones into wet sand and seeing the crater it left behind. We also made our very own 'Moon Art'. Whilst doing this, we created different textures by using new painting techniques which was lots of fun!
