Today we had our space day. It was an amazing way to finish our Inquiry on Space. We learnt lots of new and exciting things and got to be a real astronaut visiting space.
We started the day in astronaut training, where we discovered what it would be like to be a real astronaut. We tried lots of different activities astronauts would do to prepare themselves for space. We looked at what they eat, where there sleep, how fit they need to be and what it might be like to wear a space suit. It was so amazing to see what need to do.
In the afternoon we went to outer space, we got to visit lots of planets and learn about how unique they all are.......no 2 planets were the same. We visited Mars, Jupiter, Saturn to mention just a few. We were all very tired after our space trip so we came back to space ship 5 to debrief with Miss Smith. Below are some of the new things that we learnt.........
Ben - Mars has a pink sky around it
George - Saturn's ring is made of rock, gas and ice
Corin - Jupiter only has a tiny bit of rock but is mostly gas
Bailey - You be a spacemen you have to be able to balance.
Eric - Astronauts need to eat sticky food
Bella - they have drink in a bag instead of a bottle so it does not fly away
Lily - Jupiter has 60 moons
Mac - Jupiter does have a missing ring
Millie S - Saturn has hundreds of rings
George/Thomas P - Jupiter has 3 rings
Oscar - you need to eat dry food in space
Annabelle - Jupiter is made of clouds and gas
Millie W - Saturn is made of helium, like a balloon
William J - you can't stand on Jupiter
Things we enjoyed -
"i enjoyed making saturn"
"finding new facts about every single planet"
" I liked it when we made saturn, because you got to colour it in the yellow you wanted."
" Making play mercury"
"I enjoyed watching the videos to find out stuff - one of the planets can be hot and cold at the same time"
"I liked making saturn, because it is cool."
As we are now all experts, you can now talk to Team 5 about what they learnt and add it to the blog.
