The weather group

Last week the weather group from cycle 1 had the privlage to vist Stardome. We finally donated our Southern cross star constellation to staff of Stardome.

On the way to Stardome Mr Coaton told us how excited Stardome was for us and our constellation to arrive. When we arrived we were welcomed by Beth and her staff. We were then taken to a room where a few staff and the media from the local newspaper were waiting for us. We then presented our masterpiece and they were so happy. We recieved goodie bags and also a family pass to vist again!!! We then got to watch 2 shows. The first one was about an astronaut and the second one was about the night sky. Finally we were taken to the telescope room where we got to look at the sun through the telescope.

Over all we had an amzing day and Stardome now has an awesome new display to educate people on how to find True South.

Endangered birds team

Our endangered birds team worked with Mrs Watson to make little bird feeding balls to feed our native birds in out area. Inside our bird feeding balls we used bread, cauliflour, flour and oats. Then we stuffed it into the oven for approximately 10-15 minutes. Then we cut up some string and tied it onto the feeding balls. Later we tied them onto native trees and then observed what the birds would do.
