Today Year 5 had a fantastic opportunity to experience a planetarium. We entered through a nearly pitch black tunnel which two door monitors held open. We had to enter in small groups so the dome didn't deflate too much. As we entered, we saw a central light that represented the sun. We then looked at the rotation of the earth and the different phases of the moon. Next, we saw images of the planets. We learnt that if you walk on any gas planet you would fall through to the centre. After that, the lights dimmed completely and we observed the star constellations. We found out that the North Pole star does not move across the sky but stays constant always pointing north. We really enjoyed this experience.
