What’s on the Day and Night poster
DAY against NIGHT, side by side.
- DAY: The Sun is up
- DAY: Our side of Earth faces the Sun
- DAY: Bright enough to play outside
- DAY: Most animals are awake
- DAY: We eat breakfast and lunch
- NIGHT: The Sun is down
- NIGHT: Our side faces away from the Sun
- NIGHT: We see the Moon and stars
- NIGHT: Owls, bats and foxes come out
- NIGHT: We sleep
- The Sun does not go anywhere. The Earth turns, and we turn away from it.
One full turn takes 24 hours. That is exactly one day and one night.

- Who is the Day and Night poster for?
- Day and Night is filed under Kindergarten (ages 5–6), so it matches what that year asks a child to remember. It is equally useful to an older student revisiting science, and to the parent or teacher answering the question at the kitchen table.
- When should you use the Day and Night poster?
- Spin a ball with a torch pointed at it. That is the whole explanation. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Day and Night belongs on the wall where that science work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Day and Night?
- Where Animals Live, Butterfly Life Cycle and Frog Life Cycle sit alongside Day and Night in the Kindergarten set. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Where Animals LiveButterfly Life CycleFrog Life Cycle
- Is the Day and Night poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Day and Night downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Kindergarten set. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Day and Night poster print at?
- Day and Night is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Day and Night loses nothing.Printing guide
