WEEK 6 TERM 3 2012

On Tuesday we started our topic 'The Earth, Sun and Moon' by visiting the Auckland Stardome. It was a great trip and we all learned about the stars and planets and how many different colours of stars there are. The Sun is a yellow star and is an average temperature. There are also red, gold, white, blue and blue/white stars. Blue/white stars are the hottest. Stars start out as a cloud of gas and dust that eventually they shrink down and become hot and a star is born! It was very interesting.

In art we looked at cool and hot colours. We made two flowing streams - one was a cool stream of water and the other a hot stream of lava.
