What day and night means

You learn when the sun, moon, and stars can be seen in the sky. This helps you notice the difference between day and night in your everyday life.

What you will practise

  • Point to the sun in daytime pictures.
  • Identify the moon and stars at night.
  • Choose day or night from short scenes.
  • Match sleeping time with night.
  • Answer simple questions about the sky.

Before you start

You should know common things in the sky, like the sun, moon, and stars. You should also understand simple ideas such as light and dark.
