You're A Star!


One of the things mentioned in the Oort Cloud work last week was a solar flare. Here's a picture that NASA took of the sun this week. You can see a huge solar flare in the bottom left corner. The flare was 700 000km long!

Playing Games






We went down to visit the YEs today, Mrs Jones' class in fact. We took the various board games we had made at the start of our Astronomy topic and the little kids seemed to really enjoy them. We did notice that they found it difficult to count up to 6, which made some of the games quite hard, and they were very shy to start off with but they almost all enjoyed themselves by the end of our visit and, as you can see, they were all smiling and happy by the end.
