![]() Over the past two weeks we have completed a class inquiry about our solar system! Together we made a model by painting foam spheres and hanging them,in orbit, from our ceiling.We have drawn our own diagrams of the solar system and learnt new information about each planet. Do you know which planets are known as the "gas giants"? We do! We kept track of our learning on a large chart and wrote on post-its every time we learnt a new fact. Some of us wrote about our favourite planet.This writing in hanging up in the hallway outside of our classroom. Don't forget to ask us about our favourite planet? Some of us made rockets using tanagrams (various two-dimensional shapes) by tracing and colouring our design on paper. At our art centre, many of us painted diagrams of our favourite planets. Using marshmellows and toothpicks, we made our own constellations. Our learning was out of this world!
