Stars and Planets

This term we have been learning about Space! We have been doing so much fun space art in room 22. We created our own planets and stars and then painted them. Afterwards, we covered them in colourful, shimmery glitter. We learnt all about how planets are different sizes, temperatures and distances apart.

The Great Space Escape

This term, Pt England School is learning about space. The year 5 and 6's have been thinking about what we'd do if we had to escape planet Earth. What would happen if we didn't have clean air or water? What would happen if Earth flooded? We'd have to find a new planet to live on!

Hilary and Hazel made some great animations about escaping Earth. Enjoy!

Viliami and Junior's Solar System Rap

This week, team 4 has been learning about the order of the planets in the Solar System. Mrs Stickland had the awesome idea of getting her literacy class to write raps about the planets in the solar system. Viliami and Junior continued working hard on their rap with Mr Somerville for the rest of the day. This is what they produced!

Awesome work boys!

Guardians of the Galaxy

Miss Scanlan & Mr Goodwin are ready to fight the aliens 

Welcome to term 3! This term, our school theme is Guardians of the Galaxy. I am so excited for this term because we will be learning all about space! 

Team 4 is going to learn about the key elements that humans need for survival. What would happen if we could no longer survive on planet Earth? We would have to search for a new planet to live on! Perhaps Mars?

On Wednesday, team 4 had an awesome Space Day! Our classroom turned into a Mission Control room and everyone visited different teachers to have the full space experience. 

We tried space food, went to a Space Bootcamp and watched some pretty cool space videos!
