Otago Museum Trip
Yesterday the whole school journeyed to Dunedin to visit the Otago Museum as part of our inquiry topic 'Out of this World'. One of our activities was a visit to the starlab which required us to crawl through a dark tunnel to get inside the dome! When we got inside the dome we were able to see the stars as well as the sun and moon. We learned about different constellations and searched for them in the night sky. Some that we spotted included the Upside Down Dog, Orion, Scorpion and the Southern Cross. We also got to share what we knew about Space and asked some really great questions!
We also got to go exploring around the Museum and some groups completed a treasure hunt which proved challenging at times!
Thanks to all the parents and helpers for accompanying us on our trip, we really appreciate it! We had a great day and can't wait to get back into class to find out more about this exciting topic!
