Carter Observatory Visit
On the 16th of May 2013 Room 10 went to Carter Observatory for a special start to the Matariki topic that the entire school is doing. We went to Carter Observatory on the bus, not on the train as intended, sadly. When we arrived at 9:30am the observatory the sign said it was closed. We were all surprised! We waited until someone came, and the person that did come was very funny. (Picture 2) He took us inside and flipped the open/closed sign to open. We then went into the educational room (Picture 3) and he talked to us about the planets and the International Space Station (ISS) and did some activities.
When he finished talking he let us explore the exhibits and then 30 minutes later we had to go into the movie room and watched a movie about Russia and America and their achievements.
After the movie we left and went to the playground in the Botanical Gardens and had lunch and a little play.
10 minutes later we went back to the bus and got driven back to Kapanui School at 1:30pm
