In Room 21, we have been exploring facts about the solar system. We pretended we had travelled to different planets and we sent postcards back home to share our experiences with our family and friends.
Dear Kaiya,
I finally reached Pluto. It is cold here. It's 230 degrees. Pluto is dark. It is a dwarf planet. We played hide and seek. I nearly froze on Pluto. Pluto is dark purple like a grape.
Love from Kaisee
Dear Mum and Dad,
I have visited Venus. Venus is the hottest planet in the Universe. Venus would burn me if I was on it so I have to stay in a special suit.
Love from Megan
Dear Megoo,
I've just flown through the asteroid belt. That made me feel sick and dizzy. At least, I landed on the icy planet Neptune. You'd love it there Megoo because you can float about. Here's some facts I found out about Nepture. 1. On Neptune there is lots of gas that gives Nepture its blue colour. 2. One day on Neptune is 16 Earth hours. I really miss you. See you in two days.
Love you lots, from Katie G
Dear Ms McPhail,
I've just reached Pluto. It is really dark and cold on Pluto but the good thing is that we might be able to play spot light tonight when its dark. The next morning me and my buddies played Jump It. Jump It is a game that you jump to one rock then the next rock. Ms McPhail if you ever want to go to Pluto you will need bed equipment, space equipment, warm clothes and food.
Kind regards
Hayley
Dear Ms McPhail,
We have arrived at Pluto! But don't worry about the cold and the dark because Hayley and I have five heaters on which run on batteries and most of our clothes on. For light, we have a torch each. Hayley and I dug a crater wider to sleep in, with a heater on plus all our blankets on. We had to share a bed because we could not dig that crater big enough. We also saw a comet far away. It made a loud banging sound as it hit Uranus.
Love from Charlotte
Dear Family,
Did you know that I needed to fly through the astroid belt? Here on Uranus it is very very cold because Uranus is an ice planet. Uranus takes eighty four Earth years to orbit the sun. Do you know it takes you one hundred and fifty nine billion years to travel to Uranus. Did you know it takes one hundred and twenty seven days for Uranus to rotate.
Love from Bailey
Dear Tino,
I went to Uranus but an asteroid flew past. Uranus is best know as the seventh planet closest to the sun. Uranus is blue. It is surrounded with rings.
By Tana
Dear Dad,
I just arrived on Saturn. I could see the spectacular rings around it. But wait a minute! Dad, you should see how many moons Saturn has. Dad did you know that it takes Saturn 29.46 years to orbit the Sun.
Love Hamish
Dear Jared,
I went to Pluto today. It was 2300kms across! It's very very, very, very cold and there are 1,000,000 rocks on Pluto! There are aliens! Run for your lives. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Love from Hamy
Dear Mum and Dad,
On Mars there are large volcanoes and it takes Mars 687 Earth days to go around the sun and Mars is the fourth planet in the galaxy.
Love Wian
Dear Nana,
At last we're on Pluto. Pluto is the coldest planet in our solar system. When we left Pluto we went to its moon, Charon. Charon was as cold as Pluto. Pluto is not a planet any more because it is too small. So it's called a dwarf planet. See you in five light years.
From Marshall
Dear Mum,
We have just landed on Saturn. The rings are so big. It was very hard to get through the asteriod belt. It has moons. More moons than Earth!
Love from Ashly
Dear Mum and Dad,
I have landed on Venus. From Venus, Earth looks like a star. There are clouds surrounding Venus. Venus is the slowest to turn around to make a day.
From Vaughan
Dear Mum,
I found the postcard you sent me. I just got back from Venus and now I'm on the very hot Mercury. I've discovered that Venus is hotter than Mercury. It took ages for me to work out why and the answer was because Venus has a big cloud around it that Mercury doesn't have. I just got a new rocket because my other one burned down on Venus. This one did the same. I may not be getting home for a while.
From Emily
Dear Benjamin,
I've just landed on Pluto. It is very, very dark. Me and Olivia T and Tana played spotlight and it was so so fun. Bye for now.
From Jayden
Dear Mum,
It is so hot at Mars. I couldn't breathe. I nearly fainted! I would never sleep.
From Hunter
Dear Mum,
I just landed on Jupiter this morning. Jupiter is so big you don't know where you are. Jupiter is made out of hydrogen gas so I hope I don't fall through it. The food we have in the space craft is so yucky it tastes like pulp. Guess how long it takes Jupiter to orbit the Sun? Twelve years! I'll be 18 when I get back to Earth! We now have landed our space craft and are coming back home.
From Maddie
Dear Mum and Nana,
We have just arrived on Pluto. It is very dark and cold. We can not see anything. We think we should go to another place because it is too dark and cold. Tomorrow we are going to go to the Moon because it is better.
Love from Charlee
Dear Family,
I have just landed on Pluto. Pluto is dark and cold. I had to get my warm coat on. It takes 248 years for Pluto to go round the sun! Pluto is 5,900,000,000km away from the sun. Also, Pluto is the smallest planet.
Love Alannah
P.S. I miss your company
Dear William,
I have just blasted off. I am going to the hottest planet Venus. When I got there I didn't want to land on Venus because its atmosphere is 27% carbon dioxide and nitrogen and it will melt my space bus! When I flew back to Earth I saw an asteroid. I had to put a parachute on to land safely
From Benjamin
Dear Mum and Dad,
In Earth down where the people live we can see half of the moon. The moon is very very white. The moon is a big, big, big ball.
Love from Katie B
Dear Jayden,
I've just left the moon. I am excited because we are going to Pluto now in a spaceship rocket. Pluto is very dark and it is cold. I was shivering because I was cold. You can go home now I said to Mum.
Love from Olivia T
Amazing adventures!!!
