Learning about Astronomy.


Today we have gone to the UdG's Parc Tecnològic to learn about Astronomy.
We've been in a Planetarium and we have looked at stars, contellations, galaxies, the planets, meteorites...It's been very good.
We've looked at the Sun spots through a telescope but today there were very small spots.
We've used computers to calculate the time the Sun needs to rotate. To do this we've observed the spots in some pictures taken day after day with a satellite.
We think it's been an interesting activity, some parts even funny, but it's been difficult to understand everything.

A visit from Australia

Today, a girl from Australia has visited the class of 5th graders. Her name is Cleo and she is 18 years old. We asked her questions about her personal life and about Australia. She explained us things about the Australian traditions, the sports, the animals, the food etc. She also explained that in Australia it is a different time and a different season. Finally we recommended her some places to visit, for example the cathedral, “la Devesa” and “el cul de la lleona”. We liked the visit a lot because we learned new things about Australia.

Thank you for coming Cleo!
