Inquiry - Out of this World

Today we are working with the Junior room for a space themed day.  The first activity we did was make some fruit platters.  These fruit platters showed the different sizes of the planets.  We had to use different types of fruit to show the planet sizes.  It was a very cool activity and we were happy to eat the fruit when we were finished!

Out of this World! - Planet Earth and Beyond

For inquiry this term our topic is 'Out of this World', which is to do with Planet Earth and Beyond.  Yesterday we did some mucking in to see what we knew.  Miss Ward had some photos for us on different sheets of paper and she put them around the room.  We were then split into groups of three and a two, and we got one minute at each photo to write down our ideas about the photo.  At the end each group reported back to the class on the ideas on one of the photos each.  It was really great to hear the different thoughts people had!  Today we are going to write down our wonderings about this topic, now that will be really interesting!

Check out the photos of us doing our mucking in activity with Miss Ward:
