Today a group of us went for a visit to the planetarium at Napier Boys High School. First we watched a video of a rocket taking off and some astronauts living in space. Then we all moved into anther room so that we could see the stars! We were shown exactly what the night sky would look like tonight (if it wasn't so cloudy and rainy) and we were shown a few different constellations. We then saw how the stars move across the sky in the space of a day and how the 'Seven Sisters' of Matariki rise in the morning.
Here are some of the things that the children liked about our planetarium visit...
Caelyn - "Eating lollies upside down in space".
Kian - "We saw two man's hanging upside down".
Netana - "Book".
Noah - "Moon, blue, black".
Maia - "The 7 sisters went round and round".
Paige - "Nana, car, twinkle twinkle".
Thanks to Kian's Dad and Paige's Nana and Aunty for bringing their cars and coming along to help out!
