Stardome Trip Recounts

Last week we had an exciting day trip to Stardome Observatory at Auckland's Cornwall Park. Here are some of the children's recounts.

On Tuesday I went to the Stardome on a large bus and there were a lot of kids in the big bus. First we had a big morning tea. Then we had a big play. I played on the slide with some girls. It was fast and dark. Next we had lunch. After lunch room 6, room 5 and room 4 went in the room and sat on a special chair and watched a movie about planets and we saw Jupiter and Mars. I learnt that Jupiter had a big storm. Michelle

Next we went to the playground and I liked it and my favourite thing was the slide and I played with my friend on it. Room 6 went into the Stardome Observatory and we watched a movie. I liked it and it was about the planets and we had to look up at the celing and after that we went into the planet room to learn about planets. Hayley
