Rimu Syndicate Visit to Hamilton Observatory

The children of Rimu Syndicate have been learning about the sun, moon and other interesting facts about space.  We have the opportunity to visit Hamilton’s Observatory.  This visit will make what we have been investigating in the classroom more real to the students.

Date:    12 March 2015

Time:    7.00pm at Woodstock School car park (if you need transport) OR

7.30pm at Hamilton Observatory (Hamilton Zoo), 183 Brymer Rd, Hamilton (if you are going to meet us there)

Structure of the Evening:

The first 30 minutes will be a discussion and questioning time.  The next 30 minutes will be an opportunity for the children to look through the big telescope at the stars, moon and planets.  We will leave the Hamilton Observatory at 8.30pm.  Those being transported from Woodstock School will be back by 8.45pm.

Cost for this trip is $5 per child and $10 per adult.  You are welcome to bring your family, however they will all need to pay.

Regards

Rimu Syndicate Teachers

Susan Johnson, Tracey Frost, Bronwyn Nicholas and Sarah Menzies
