What is really out there?

This Term our Big Idea is...'Understanding the possibilities' and our Big Question is ... 'What is really out there???'This term room 5 have been learning all about space and the planets in our solar system. Its been really fun Peter Knowles came to our school and told us all about space. He brought with him a fascinating machine it had a light bulb in the middle that represented the sun it had 3 balls representing Mercury, Venus and Mars and a globe that represented Earth. Peter told us all about how we get seasons. We learnt so much our brains were bursting with information.

Thought of the day! ... Something to think about!

Just another reason why we always should always plan ahead :)
