Hi Everyone!
For the past two weeks, I have been recording and graphing the sunrise and sunset, and calculating the hours of daylight. Although at first it seemed a little difficult, it was actually very interesting to view my findings :) Here they are:

* On the left side (y axis) is the hours of daylight, the bottom (x axis) is the date.
I noticed that the time of sunrise gets later and the time of sunset gets earlier as the weeks go on. As you can see by the graph, this means that the day is becoming shorter.
I hope you enjoyed my findings :)
See you soon,
Emma
