Junior School Brooklyn Park

Our Place in Space

Our students explored 'Our Place in Space', learning about planets and space. Our key learning statement was, “Earth is part of a system of planets orbiting around a star (the sun)”.  Through the term students worked in pairs to produce a model solar system, as well as individually designed and produced a Virtual Museum using Google Slides that showcased their knowledge and understanding of space. They presented this to our Year 3s and 4s.

"It was good to share our work with another year level, teaching them about space."

Georgeah (Year 5) 

"I was pleased with the way my planet model turned out. I worked hard with my partner to make it a success."

Lachlan (Year 6)

"I really enjoyed learning more about space. In particular I enjoyed the Maths involved in size of planets and distances from one another."
