Planetarium - Napier

Wednesday 15th July 2009

Today we toddled off in search of the Planetarium in Napier.

When we first arrived we watched a video on astronauts and their life in space. Hmmm now that was interesting for a group of 3 year olds. Restlessness set in quite quickly, of course it did, I had to control my own restlessness and boredom.

And if that wasn't enough punishment, then we were directed into a room in complete darkness to listen to adult speak about astronomy, hmmm, now that was the last nail in the coffin for some children. Exit by the red lights. Well done Jorja, I knew you were bored but you maintained your social skills and pretended you were interested and remained attentive.

Yay, back on the bus back to ABC for lunch.

"I thought we were going on a rocketship?"

Jorja's Trip to the Planetarium

Wednesday 15th July 2009
Today we bussed off to Napier in search of the Planetarium. First we watched an extremely boring video on astronauts in space and their life in the spaceship. Children started to lose it at this stage, stay seated Jorja (PLEASE!)
Then to put the last nail in the coffin for restless 3 year olds, we went into a room in complete darkness to listen to adult astronomy nonsense whilst looking up into the night sky.
I thought we were going on a spaceship?
Maybe that's the next excursion.

Well it's the last day of Term break, where did those two weeks go!

Well here it goes, I'm trying to become more savvy using my blog site, through trial and error, error being the more common result in my journey.
