Solar System

This Unit Study is based on The Solar System: a study based on topics of interest and value, which branch over a range of different subjects including English, Math, Science, Art and Technology. The approach to learning is inquiry based, which encourages children to ask questions and seek answers in a loving and nurturing environment.  The target bracket is the Primary level (approx. ages 5-10). The 'Solar System' Unit Study is a multi-discipline learning session: typically literacy and numeracy activities, as well as other "subjects."  They are currently working together in small groups/teams to get their rockets to fly! This is true science & technology, problem solving to get the best results. 

On Saturday evening from 7:30 pm, the plan is to attend a 'Public Viewing Night' of the Southland Astronomical Society, at the former Oreti Sands Golf Course Rooms - 254 Links Rd (which is off Sandy Point Rd).  This is in support of the 'Solar System' Unit Study that Rachel & Hayley are leading, but all are welcome.  Please note that this is a PUBLIC event, not set up by us, so we will not be charging for this as it is not one of our learning sessions, but there is a cost associated with it so please make sure to bring $5 per adult and $2 per child and give it to the Southland Astronomical Society.  We hope the weather is favourable for a great night sky!
