Information report about the moon - Joshua

The moon is a round hard rock and you can see it at night.

When the moon is round it is the full moon when it shows only a half then it is a half moon. When it looks like a banana then it is a crescent and the new moon is just like a shadow and people can’t see it.

On the moon there is no gravity no trees and no air or animals, it is lifeless. No gravity means you can fly like ‘superman’. You are floating, make big stride. It is empty and very quiet.

Information report - Moon by Falakika

The moon is a natural satellite of the earth.It is a round, hard rocky ball.The moon is smaller than the Earth.It is made of pale coloured  rocks. The moon light comes from the reflection of the sun.

The moon has dark and light areas.The dark areas are plains.The plains are flat and filled with rocks.The light areas The moon is a natural satellite of the earth.It is a round, hard rocky ball.The moon is smaller than the Earth.It is made of pale coloured  rocks. The moon light comes from the reflection of the sun.

The moon changes its shape because of the different parts are in the sunlight. When the moon looks round it is called the full moon, when it’s half it is called half moon. A crescent looks like a big bite and the new moon looks completely like a  shadow and we cannot see it.

The moon only shines at night. The Chinese has a festival where they bake cakes using the shape of the moon. They gathered at a park enjoying their feast and admiring the moonlight.
