Room 2's Solar System



We are learning about space so today we pretended to be the planets and the sun and the earth's moon. Then we went around the sun, and the moon went around the earth. We had to stay the same distance from the sun the whole way around.

  3. Hi Room 2 St Mary's. What a good way to learn about the planets and the sun. There is a good moving picture of the planets going around the sun on the Kids" Astronomy site at http://www.kidsastronomy.com/solar_system.htm You should check it out.

    You might also like to check out another Y1-2 class who are taking part in the Blogalong project. Room 1 at Kuranui School are hoping to have some comments left in their blog. Check it out at http://room1kuranui2010.blogspot.com/

    Hi Room 2, This is Liam Nixons cousins Jack (9) and Riley (7) from Auckland, we go to Our Lady of the Sacred Heart School. It looks like you are having fun studying the solar system what a cool thing to do. Sometimes we go to the Stardome observatory which is not far from our school and that is lots of fun too. Enjoy!!
