Room 9a had a fantastic time in Term 2 learning about space.

Our favourite activities were listening to space songs, re enacting shuttle launches and making paper mache planet. We used our completed planets to practise ordering the solar system and to orbit around our collage sun.


Abel is Earth, the third planet from the sun and the one we like best.

We discovered the names of the planets and 3 facts about each one. We researched about what the planets looked like so that we could paint them We designed and constructed our own rockets and had fun zooming around our room to space music.


Aaron and the other students in Room 9a loved having a turn at making our rocket shoot up into the air.


Adam enjoyed counting down from 10 and taking off up up up into space.


Stefan zoomed around Room 9a just like a space shuttle.


We used red, orange and yellow ripped up paper to make our collage sun.




Commander Jackson visited our class to tell us about being an astronaut.


Adam is Jupiter orbiting around the sun


We worked together to make all eight planets of the solar system. It was sticky and slimy but we didn't give up.
