SKs Spend Epic Morning In Space
Last week, our two Senior Kindergarten classes had an epic adventure in space. The day began with our astronauts preparing for blast off by ensuring their helmets and jet packs were secure and ready. Then, they headed off to their rocket ship in the gym, where Astronomy in Action was waiting with their portable planetarium.
Inside the planetarium, the students blasted off and toured around the solar system. They saw the sun rise and set, discovered the moon's phases, visited the planets in the solar system, and even saw different constellations. It was a truly out-of-this-world experience!
When our astronauts returned to Earth, their only regret was not being able to stay in space longer. The afternoon was filled with space-themed crafts, activities, and games. Our final adventure was with Astronaut Wood, who read us a special book he wrote entitled “Reach for the Stars” and wowed us with incredible experiments. It was a day filled with inspiration and learning. One we will never forget!
The following are some priceless comments shared by some of our aspiring astronauts.
“My favourite part was going to space and seeing all of the galaxies in the dome.” Sebastian
“I loved seeing the sun rise and set.” Nicholas
“I loved when Astronaut Wood set the water on fire.” Eden
