Stardome Trip

We had a great trip to Stardome Observatory last week.
Our educator, David, introduced the Solar System to us and helped us think about each of the planets and begin to think about their size and distance from the sun.

Each child chose what their design would be - our warm ups included koru art, designs from around the Pacific and designs that were significant to them or their family.
