On Monday the 10th of August, Room 4 and 8 went on a trip to Stardome.When we got there we had to eat our morning tea and drink the milk. After we had our morning tea and milk we got to play on the playground.There was a flying fox,swings,a little train, ropes to climb on and other things.

Everyone went on a walk on the mountain then took some photos. After we did that we went down and had our lunch. We took some photos in front of the Stardome entrance then we had to wait to go inside Stardome.The presenters name was John who was teaching us about the solar system.

Later we went inside a room where we learn about night and day and about the solar system. My teacher (Mrs Devi) took some photos, After we learnt about the solar system we did a scavenger hunt. There was seven questions and my group did it just in time.Then we went in an auditorium to watch the night sky and a movie. After this session we all went back to schoo.

Stardome Trip for Year 5 and 6 (Room 4 & 8)

On Monday the 10th of August we went to Stardome and we learned about the solar system. Before we went into Stardome we played on the playground and went for a walk on a long pathway. After we finished our walk we went inside Stardome.When we went inside Stardome we went into this room to learn about the solar system.

The presenter John showed as around and he picked people to be planets and I got picked to be Venus. John gave us a tablet to do a scavenger hunt and we were all in different groups.We got most of the answers correct but we just got one wrong. After that we went into this big room but it wasn’t an ordinary room we sat on chairs and the chairs slid back and we had to look up at the tv on the roof . It looked like a round ball but when John turned the picture around and around I felt like I was going to vomit.

After John finished showing the picture we watched a movie and it was about seeing the moons and planets live from 3D. When the movie was finished we all said good bye and said thanked John before we left to come back to school. John gave each student a free ticket to come back and visit again but this time we could go for free. After that we went back to school and then went home.

This had caused world war 2 so Japan had an alliance with Germany and Italy while America alliance with Egland, France, and the Soviet Union. Now Japan and America are very close to each other. Pearl Harbor has most of the weapons from America like planes men and ships.
