SPACE PLACE

Here we are on the bus on our way to Space Place.  We were so excited as many of us had not been to the Planetarium before.

When we arrived at Space Place, we met Troy and Blake who were going to be our guides for the day.

We split into two groups. One group went into the Planetarium and the other group went into a classroom where we learned all about the planets and stars.

Troy told us all about the sun and how it gives out heat and light.  We were amazed to find out that over a million earths can fit inside the sun

Hugo, with the help of a torch and Maya holding the moon, showed us how there is day and night.

Before we went into the planetarium we had our morning tea.

This is a picture of us in our cosy seats looking at all the stars and planets.  We also watched a show about two children and a robot going into space to find out why we have seasons.

There were very tired children on the bus as we traveled home.  We had a great day and learnt lots of new things.
