Planets Acronym

In class at the moment we are learning about the order of the planets. We made an acronym to help us remember it. Then we went away to work on one each. We think that this will help us to remember the order of the planets more easily! Check out the one we made as a class... it was harder than we thought!!

Our Topic for term 2

In class we have been learning all about space as this is our topic for the term! Check out what we have been doing here. So far we have talked all about what things we need on earth for us to survive. Some of us think that aliens are real, but lots of us don't! We designed our own alien and gave them a planet and a name, we then wrote about what they needed to survive on this planet.


Today we watched videos on youtube about Chris Hadfield. He is an astronaut in space that does lots of cool things. We learnt how to brush our teeth, sleep, and make a sandwich in space. A lot of us had some really cool ideas and we all found it really interesting. We talked a lot about gravity and what we would do if we lived up there. It's amazing to think that these astronauts leave their families and live up there for so long!! People are even up there now, wow!

Term 2 already??

It's already week 2 of term 2, how has it come around so quickly?? We have been super busy in Tawa so far, decorating the walls with our work and making sure we get things finished! This term our topic is space and we have had lots of discussions about aliens. What do you think? Are they real? We have lots of different opinions! We have been doing lots of google drawings, we designed our own alien and made sure that we thought about what it needs to survive. Can't wait to share some of these with you when we are finished! We have also completed a google drawing of a person in our class, and we added a description of them too. You can see how awesome this work is in the photo above!

Can't wait for the rest of the term, its flying by so fast!!!!
