On Tuesday 13 August, Years 3 and 4 will be travelling to The Sydney Observatory to take part in its Astronomy Program. It is a 90 minute program that allows the boys to explore and discover the various aspects of our solar system. The program also raises elements that affect life on Earth and the impact that it has on our lives.

This excursion will also serve as an opportunity to enhance the boys’ knowledge and understanding of our central idea which states that “Human survival is connected to understanding the natural changing nature of the Earth”. The information provided within the program will also link to the boys’ work in the Measurement Strand in Mathematics, examining Length, Mass, Area, Volume and Capacity and Time.

It will be an exciting and valuable experience for the boys and one that we are looking forward to with great anticipation.

Mr Edwards and Mrs Russell
