Dear Parents/Guardians,

During this term, Year 3 students have been investigating the elements associated with ‘Our Planet Earth.’ They have engaged in discussion and inquiry based learning tasks across multiple learning areas to develop a deeper understanding of how and why our world operates, as well as developing connections between Earth and beyond.

To further students understanding, Year 3 will be participating in an Excursion to the Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium. During this experience, students will be exposed to real world experiences that align with curriculum intentions and our Integrated Learning Device- “Our Planet Earth”. Students will participate in an interactive presentation delivered by a working astronomer to investigate concepts such as day and night, Earth’s rotation and concepts involving Earth and it’s relationship to other cosmic objects in our universe.
