Bless all joeys everywhere,
Help them remember their promise to share.
Guide them all safely home today
And watch over them while they work and play.
Amen
Games/Craft Information:
Day/Night – while on parade, discuss a little about the sun (in the centre of the circle) and how the earth moves around the sun, what is a day? What is a year?
Phase of the Moon – go outside each week, spot the moon and draw how much is visible, by the end of the term we should have a good picture of how the moon changes…
Planets, can you name the planets in order. Lay out planets (balls bead – Fred, tennis, football) and see who can throw a bean bag and hit a planet.
Keep your sunny side up – how long can you keep a yellow balloon up in the air? Try an obstacle course?
SUN SPLATS 
Lay a circle on the table (newspaper under!) squirt some red, yellow, orange paint on the circle and cover the whole lot with cling wrap. They splat on your circle to make a sun!
Who’s shadow – explain about shadows…. Hang a sheet up at the Joey den door – take 2-3 joeys into the den and using a torch create a silhouette of one of the joeys – outside they must pick who it is?
Shadow chase – leaders with torches shining down on joeys, try running around without your shadows touching!!
