As we were walking through the Air and Space Museum I heard a kid say “they shouldn’t being doing that now.They should be doing it at night when we can’t see them doing it!” he was really indignant.

We thought it was great because we got to see that this amazing model was so simple to put together. With rolls of gold and silver foil, wire, sticks, black paint and glue we could make one too!

Is anyone at BSPS up for the challenge? After all aren’t we are all studying stars and space and things like that next term or the term after.

As people cannot fly they have had to learn how to . . .

One of the museums at the Smithsonian Institute is devoted to Space and Flight.

Look what we learned about flight. Look at all the people having a fun time playing around with all sorts of experiments about elements of flight. It as a really exciting place to be!

Does anyone know people who have been there?

The Smithsonian Museum is one big museum. It extends for blocks along the Mall in Washington, that is, it is over 2 kms from beginning to end.

The Museum is actually made up of 19 museums and each of these is focussed on aspects of man’s world. As we walked along the Mall we found eight.

They were:

• National Museum of the American Indian
• Air and Space Museum
• Museum Of Natural History
• Museum of American History
• Museum of African Art
• African-American History and Culture
• National Gallery of Art
• Museum of Modern Art

Each of these museums is about twice the size of our Australian Museum in Sydney.

 

Look at these amazing, wonderful and fantastic artworks created by Ms M’s class.

 

Guess what they used . . .  all sorts of different seeds.

Do you have any great art ideas that can make things as simple as a seed look so good.

As part of our whole school program classes have begun   to explore various aspects of Aboriginal Culture.

There are some very interesting sites available to explain a bit about Australian Aborigines. The stories of the Dreamtime and Dreaming are ways in which the Aborigines explain the world around them. 

By the time we celebrate NAIDOC Week 2009 the students will know heaps about Indigenous Australians

Watch this blog as well as our class blogs to see the amazing things happening in our school and to find out some great information to help with schoolwork and homework . . . 

Are any other schools doing great stuff on indigenous peoples? Would you share your learning with us?
