08 Bright Sparks

On 22nd of August Bright Sparks and stage 2 & 3 went by bus to the Sydney Observatory. Half of stage 2 went to the Observatory first at 10:00am. Bright Sparks and the Allstars walked through the Rocks area and down to Circular Quay where we met Captain James Cook. We saw some statues of Arthur Phillip and Captain William Bligh. We went into the Observatory at 12:00am. First we went to the planetarium to look at the stars. Then we went to the top of the Observatory and looked through a telescope and saw the Sydney Harbour Bridge. After we saw a movie all about galaxies which was very interesting and told us lots of information that we didn’t know. When we were finshed we caught a bus back to school. We all enjoyed the excursion very much and learnt alot about our solar system.

If you enjoyed looking at the photographs of our excursion, take a look at the videos of the Observatory in the Vod:pod. Please excuse the picture quality as this is the very first time our teacher has taken videos to upload onto our blog. We all have to start somewhere and it can only get better from here.
