The Field Trip to the Planetarium!

We had a wonderful morning at the Planetarium! We are sure that your children told you all about the field trip and all the things they saw in the " night sky"! We watched the sun rise in the East and set in the West and where it falls throughout the day. They told us stories of the Constellations and how they came to be. We even learned a little bit about the Planets that hide far away in deep dark Solar System. 

The guide asked us all to remember to turn off the lights in the rooms in our homes when we are not in them! He said if we all do this eventually the stars will shine brighter and we will be saving energy!

Be sure to have a look at the children's artwork on the walls describing what they remember of our field trip! 

Field trip

Dear parents 

You should have received the field trip consent form in your child's backpack on Friday, if you didn't please let us know and we will give you another form. 

We will be going to the Planetarium on November 26th. Our showing is at 9:30 am and they are extremely punctual. We ask that you are at school NO LATER than 8:30am preferably by 8:15, as we are leaving the school promptly at 8:30. If you know in advance that your child will not be coming, please let us know so we can note that down. 

We will be back at school for lunch, but have asked the catering company to give us a picnic lunch in case we run later than expected. If your child has home lunch, it would be best to send in a packed lunch on that day. 

For the trip you can send a snack with your child in a small backpack!

We will send out another reminder closer to the day!

Happy Sunday

The Dark Room

We have turned the EAL room into a dark room for the course of this unit, allowing the children a space to explore and to experience what life would be like without light! We have this space a number of times during the week, taking small groups as well as the whole class on little trips! 

This week we started using the Dark Room taking small groups in to do different activities: 

 Exploring with the flashlights to see if we could figure out where we were and secondly to write our names and other mark makings in the dark!! The children had a fun time, realizing that doing things in the dark is quite difficult! 

Here are a few photos of our experiences:
