On Wednesday of Week 6 Room 11, 14 and 23 went on an excursion to Scitech and Kings Park. We were going on an excursion to learn more about space, which is our Science topic this term.
We all lined up, got on the bus and headed for Scitech. The first thing we did at Scitech was go to the Planetarium. We got a tour of the night's sky and saw all the stars and constellations. Next we watched a cartoon video called Tilt. Tilt explains why the earth has seasons.
After the Planetarium we ate recess and then had some free time to explore the exhibits at Scitech. We explored in our groups, which had about 6 students and 1 adult in each group. Our favourite exhibits were air mail (where you sent a note through a pipe by sitting down hard on the seat), the ball factory (where you sent lots of ball through a maze of tunnels) and the chair pull (where you used pulleys to lift your own weight).
After we explored Scitech we jumped back on the bus and headed to Kings Park. We ate lunch on the lawn at the Synergy Parklands and then we got to play on the giant playground. It was awesome to run around and play.
Finally we all got on the bus and headed back to school. We were pretty tired and a couple of people even fell asleep!
All in all it was a fantastic day out. We learnt some new things, visited new places and had lots of fun.
