When you click on the BLUE words, you can find lots of interesting facts and pictures about the Solar System.<br />
<br />
Can you write some facts in the Facebook group please? (If you have not already) Perhaps the people who have already done this can help someone who needs to know how to do this. Thank you, Thawng, Vanpi, Stephen, Kim, Dung, Num. <br />

Our class are going to Scienceworks on August 31st, 2012. There are lots of things we need to know about before we go.<br />
Like WHERE is it?<br />
How do you get there? What time do we get there? What time do we have to leave?<br />
<br />
What is Scienceworks? What will we see there?<br />
Do I know anything about science already? What will I learn? <br />
Will I have to do something there? What?<br />
Can I bring anything? Lunch? Camera? Umbrella? Warm clothes? Good shoes for walking? Some money?<br />
How will I know what they are saying? How can I prepare myself?<br />
<br />
<br />

This is a beautiful warm day in winter in Melbourne. Think of some of your favourite places you love. Do you love the outdoors? Do you love to be inside? What do you like to do in your leisure time? Where do you like to go with friends and family?<br />
Perhaps you like the cinema or the beach? Maybe you like window shopping and going to have a drink in a cafe?<br />
Lets make a cartoon about you favourite places.<br />
