Today, the Junior School embarked on an exciting journey through space! Students travelled around the solar system in their Kaiawhina groups, visiting different classrooms where each teacher shared fascinating facts about a specific planet.
As they explored, students collected stamps in their very own Intergalactic Passports, marking each planet they visited along the way. From the scorching heat of Mercury to the icy reaches of Neptune, our young astronauts learned all about the unique features of each planet in oursolar system.
To finish their space adventure, students created a fantastic rotating fan that showed all of the planets orbiting around the Sun. It was wonderful to see their creativity and excitement as they brought their learning together in a hands-on way.
The day was filled with curiosity, discovery, and plenty of fun. We are so proud of how engaged and enthusiastic our students were
throughout their journey across the solar system.
Take a look at some of these awesome photos of our space explorers and their finished planet fans!
Mālo ni Papatūānuku! Your space journey looks like a fun adventure. Travelling to different planets to get stamps in your Intergalactic Passport was a cool way to learn about the solar system. It is nice to see photos of your rotating fans that show the planets orbiting the Sun. Which planet was your favourite to visit? Come tell me next time you see me.
