Trip to Stardome

On Thursday the 12th November 2015 , the Senior School had a trip to Star dome. We went there to learn about other planets.When we got their we ate our lunch and Room 7 & 8 went to the space room. Then 9 & 10 had flying fox.It was fun because we went and played on the playground.

First we went inside the Star dome observatory and their was a guy named Tim.He took us to the space room to tell us more information about the planets. Then asked us who was the first man to visit the Moon?Neil Alden Armstrong.After that we went to the Foyer to look around the planets and the Spaceships.

Next we went to the planetarium to watch a movie called Wonders to the universe. We sat on the chairs and we started watching.At the end of the movie he showed where the planets are and their was a shape like a scorpion.Then he told us to find the planets and they were small.After that he said that's the end of our movie.It was funny because Mrs Pome'e and Mrs Tofa were Sleeping.

I felt happy because I had fun on the flying fox and I learnt heaps about the Planets.
