Phases of the moon with Oreo biscuits. They were yummy too. Who ate a new moon? Who ate a full moon? Who ate a crescent moon? Who ate a gibbous moon?

Matariki celebrations -

Bring a plate of food to share.
Bring your whanau.
Matariki - Maori New Year - begins every year as the Matariki constellation of stars becomes visible again after a short disappearance from the night sky. This usually occurs near the end of May or beginning of June. It is also thought to begin, more specifically, at the new moon after the constellation becomes visible again.
We have been looking at the phases of the moon and have a homework activity where we record when we see each phase of the moon.
Some words that we have been using:
lunar/lunar cycle
crescent
gibbous
waxing and waning
solar
