Solar system
Room 1 is studying the Solar system at the moment. We've been learning about all of the planets, Dwarf
planets, Comets, Asteroids and the Sun. Its been exciting to learn about, and we have learnt heaps that we didn't know about already. we've shared our own facts that we already knew. We also learnt about the Big Bang from different theories, which is how the Solar system began.
We did some art on the Milky way. We used pastel and then we smudged it round, to give a spinning tense.
Our wonderful art work have been put up on the wall of Room1.

Humpbacks
In Room 1 we have been learning about the Humpback whale.
So here is a bit of info on the topic.
The Humpback whale is the 3rd largest whale on the planet, with long complex songs.
Identification
The Humpback is as long as 2 buses and a car, It is as tall as a 3 story-building and weighs 28 tonnes.
It has two blow holes, a fluke that measures 25 meters long which help it to move, and its flippers help it glide through the water.
Food
This large mammal eats only the smallest animals for its size.
The humpback eats plankton, krill, small fish for dinner and jellyfish for desert.
Did you know
This whale is endangered from pollution and whaling so recycle.
