We are learning Astronomy in Science right now and our excitement is out of this world!

We are learning about the common objects in the sky, this includes the sun, moon, stars, constellations, sunrise, sunset and the solar eclipse.

When learning about the sky’s objects we have gained an understanding of the First Peoples’ knowledge of the sky and how these objects came to be. Through the use of story telling we have listened to a variety of stories that describe how the sun, moon, stars and constellations were all created. The various stories have allowed us to reflect on different cultural customs, traditions and beliefs.

Ask your young scientist to tell you the following stories:

• The Raven Stole the Sun
• Coyote and the Sun
• The Sun and the Moon
• Coyote and the Stars (+ Constellations)
