4B Moon-dials

Slowly, silently, now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon;
This way, and that, she peers, and sees
Silver fruit upon silver trees;
One by one the casements catch
Her beams beneath the silvery thatch;
Couched in his kennel, like a log,
With paws of silver sleeps the dog;
From their shadowy cote the white breasts peep
Of doves in silver feathered sleep
A harvest mouse goes scampering by,
With silver claws, and silver eye;
And moveless fish in the water gleam,
By silver reeds in a silver stream.

As part of Science Week, Year 4 are making their own Moon-dials.  Moon-dials are time pieces similar to a sundial. The most basic moon-dial is only accurate on the night of the full moon.  4A followed the instructions and made their very own moon-dials. 

"Today our class made a moon-dial because it is Science Week.  We also did this because it was learning and great for our future.  We cut the two papers out in order to make it.  After we used a rubber and blue-tac then the children made a hole and put a pin in the middle of the two circles.

I learned that there are 4 moons; quarter moon, full moon, crescent moon and new moon."
