Stars, Planets, the Space Station...and hot chocolate too!

Ms. Burnham's Gr. 3's reflect on their stargazing field trip



Here is the planet app we used
Wow,that was great!!!
Did you know the sun is a star??? It get's bigger and bigger
until it swallows up all the planets around it,even Earth and Saturn!!!!!!                  Tabatha

After school we came back at eight thirty and went onto the field to look at planets and stars.  We saw Venus and different constellations like the Big Dipper.  Then we went inside and had hot chocolate and cookies.

We saw the Space Station.  It goes 5000 miles per hour.  It can go around the earth in 90 minutes.  We could only see it for 5 minutes then we saw a shooting star go by.  Then we saw Mars and I can't believe it's red and orange!  Then we saw Jupiter.  It is white and kind of blue.

I was amazed when the space station flew overhead and disappeared in the earth's shadow.  My favourite planet is Saturn.         Courtney
The mysteries of space.  We saw the International Space Station!  We also saw Mars and had hot chocolate and cookies.  Yumm!  We saw Jupiter too!         Alex & Shane
