Day 1

We had an amazing day in our new spaces today, everyone arrived so eager to learn and to be a part of our family for Term 2.

This afternoon we had two special visitors.


They had visited us from NASA and were full of exciting knowledge!

We had a great discussion about what we think scientists are.

Scientists...

  • Experiment
  • Prove and disprove things about different topics
  • Find evidence
  • Figure out natural phenomena
  • Making the future, designing technologies to come
  • Building the future and discovering the past
  • Very smart dudes who question, predict, hypothesise and solve things
  • Study and work with the sciences - biology, archaeology, astronomy, astrology, physics, meteorology, chemistry
  • Observe
  • A person who studies space is called an astronomer
  • Explore
  • Investigate
  • Uncover
  • Elaborate
  • Adapt
  • Evolve
  • Make connections and re apply their learning

We are incredibly excited to learn all about space and to share our learning with others.


We also began learning about Myths and Legends, some of us have amazing knowledge about a range of these - from mythical creatures to Greek and Roman Gods. If you have some Myths and Legends books that you would be willing to share with us, please send them along.

What a fantastic start to our term together.
