Welcome to Winter Wonderland!
Celebrating
the Winter Solstice at Aubin Grove Primary School
Friday June 24th 2016
Winter
has arrived and we are going to celebrate!!
The
Winter Solstice: is on the 21st June, however, this year we will be having a
delayed celebration on Friday, 24th June.
The
Solstice is an astronomical event that happens twice a year. Once in Summer and
once in Winter. It occurs when the sun reaches its highest position in the sky
as seen from the North or South Pole. During the Solstices the tilt of the axil
of the Earth (in respect to the sun) is the maximum.
The
Winter Solstice marks the shortest day of the year, so we thought we would
celebrate this……..and the coming of longer, warmer days too!!!!!
We
are going to rug up, get snuggly and wear our PJ’s. We will be ready for bed
when we get home!
All
classroom heaters will be turned off for an hour.! So make sure you are rugged up ready for the cold.
Wear: Pyjamas, dressing gowns, hoodies, slippers
etc. (You can pack or wear your sneakers to play in if you would prefer!)
Why: We are celebrating the beginning of Winter
and exploring life before electricity
Many
thanks,
The
Year Three Teaching Team
