Josie,

you might include the Moon Calendar that is shared on spaceweek.ie each year. We use a few different shapes to show the phase of the Moon, rather than have it exactly matching the phase in the sky (which is constantly, albeit slowly, changing).

This is the 2022-2023 one. and the 2023-Sept 2024 one.

I’d also note that phases of the Moon do not appear in the primary curriculum, so your idea of

 We’ll experiment with light and discuss how it changes the Moon’s appearance.

is spot on.
