We had a great afternoon being creative and designing our own space suits. We then took it in turns to put them on and try out our best Moon walking.

The dark nights are rolling in so it is very important to stay safe and be seen on the roads. This afternoon P5D had some very in-depth discussions about road safety. Click on the link below to access more useful information, stories and games from the Tales of the Road website.

Kate Green paid us a visit this week and we played our own little round of golf. I think she was very impressed with our skills, particulary our launching!

Yesterday  P5D made fantastic plasticine models of the Earth . Can you identify the different layers?

Today everybody in P5D had a great time learning a song and dance about the structure of the Earth. If you would like to listen to the song at home ( and of course show off your dance moves) you can click the link below and click on the  yellow symbol.

 Comet Hale Bopp amazed watchers on its last approach near Earth in 1997. 

Comet Haley Bopp

Comets are often called “dirty snowballs” because the solid center of a comet, called a nucleus, contains rock particles trapped in frozen liquid. As a comet moves closer to the Sun, the heat from the Sun turns the outer ice into gas and the solid parts are released as dust. These gas and dust particles trail the comet in the form of a tail.

Here is a poster showing all the stars that can be seen from the Southern  Hemisphere.
