Grade One and Two Class

Last week Grade 1/2 went on a field trip to the museum and planetarium in Launceston. There were so many highlights and our brains were full to bursting on the bus ride home. Check out our researchers in action! 

We communicated our new learning through drawing, labeling and talking.

My favourite thing on the trip was...

Max: ... in the movie - the blast off noise when the rocket took off.

Noah: ... when the rocket was in the storm on Jupiter. There was lightning and dust.

Matilda:... in the movie when the kids travelled through the rings of Saturn - it was really rocky.

Abbey: ... my favourite is Saturn because of the rings.

Eli:... my favourite planet is Uranus - it's the coldest planet.

Piper: ... being in the Planetarium - it felt like it was moving - like were slipping to the side.

Lincoln: ... when the man showed us that if we get up early we would see Jupiter.

Rydae:... the science play area.

Joanie:...the room that had lots of different things to fiddle with and explore.

Adele: ... touching dinosaur bones.

I learned...

Benji: I didn't know there were that many planets. There's just our solar system but there are lots more way out in space.

Abbey: ... the big red dot on Jupiter is a storm.

Bella: ... that Jupiter is smaller than the sun, but bigger than the other planets.

Matilda: ... that you can see the planets at night and there is a constellation called Scorpio.

Piper:... some planets don't have hard ground.

Noah: ... the biggest planets are made of gas - we call them gas giants.

Olivia: .. that there are gas giants and rocky midgets.

Molly: I learned that Saturn is made of gas - I don't know why it's made of gas.

Max: ... when you are on Jupiter things are heavier than on the other planets. There were cans you could lift and Jupiter's was the heaviest.

Lucas: ... some eggs are smaller than others.
