On Friday 28 August, the Year 3 students enjoyed an evening ‘camp’ at school. We had an astronomer join us and bring his powerful telescope. We saw the moon and two planets called Saturn and Jupiter.  It was so amazing to see the moon up close. We even learnt that the craters on the moon were about the size of Queensland.

During our evening, we played some team building games, made some space art and enjoyed some delicious pizza and ice cream with mix ins!

It was so fun and we were all so excited to be at school at night time.

Thank you to Mrs Hemmings, Miss Smith, Mrs Bennie, Mrs Martin and Mrs Walton for making our night so great. A big thank you to Mr Peterson too for all his help in setting up.

We have made some wonderful memories and are continuing to learn more about the Earth, Sun, Moon and outer space in our science lessons.

Thank you!
