Stardome

On Wednesday team 3 were at Cornwall Park and we visited the Stardome to learn about space.

In the Stardome I learned about how the sun is so hot it can burn me up I will die. After the stardome. Team 3 had lunch and then me and Siosiua played on the train. And then I played touch with my Friends and it was fun. I love you Miss King.

Place Value.

we are learaing about place value. This is my movie i made with my friend.

Shadows

If an object blocks sunlight the place behind the object is dark. This is called a shadow.

The size of the shadow depends on the angle at which the light is falling on the object. Your shadow keeps changing throughout the day. It is longest in the early morning and the late afternoon. At midday, when the sun is overhead there is little or no shadow at all.

The Moon

The Moon was probably made 4.5 billion years ago when a large object hit the Earth and blasted out rocks that came together to orbit round the Earth. The Moon is much smaller than the Earth. It is airless, waterless and lifeless. The gravity of the Moon, causes two high tides on the Earth every day.

The first person to walk on the Moon was the American astronaut, Neil Armstrong. He stepped out of his space craft, the Eagle, on 21 July 1969 and said these famous words, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”.

Telling the Time

Rockets

My rockets has wings and super engines exploding as they boosted off. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 It is ready for blast off. We are ready to fly to the moon.

The Sun

The sun is the largest star in our solar system, however there are many stars like it in the wider universe. The earth is just the right distance from the sun that our planet is not too hot or too cold. The light from the sun takes 8 minutes to reach earth and gives life to plants.  Astronauts will never be able to land on the sun as it reaches 5500 degrees celsius - 100x hotter than humans can stand.

The sheer size of the sun means that its gravitational pull forces all the planets in our solar system to orbit around it. Born 5 billion years ago, the sun has been producing heat and light for a very long time.
