Dress Up Day

Double the fun at Discovery time today. It was also dress up day at school.

Our visit to the Planetarium at Otago Museum

Today we walked to the Otago Museum and visited the Planetarium. We all learned lots of interesting facts about Space. Kate - the teacher at the museum, was surprised at how much we already knew. Thanks to all the parents and teacher aides who helped us with our trip. Here are some of the things we learned at the Planetarium:

• when stars get too old and big, they blow up
• our planets are in the solar system
• there are storms on some planets
• Venus has acid rain
• The gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus & Neptune) all have rings

George Street Normal School Cross Country

On Monday we had our school cross country race. We walked down to the Alhambra Rugby ground with buddies from the senior classes. When we got there the we sat on a tarpaulin and watched the middle team girls and boys races. Then it was our turn to warm up. The girls raced first and then the boys. We had to run once around the ground.... Here we are waiting for our turn to warm up.

Science Experiment

In Kindle 2 today we did a science experiment with oil and an ice cube.

First we put some oil in a jar, then we predicted what would happen when we put an ice cube in the jar.
We found out that as the ice cube melted, bubbles of water dropped to the bottom of the jar.
