  1. I know about the solar system, that Earth is the third closest to the sun. There are 9 planets all together. On Venus there is 1 big volcano. The sun is a star. Other planets are Pluto, Saturn, Mercury, Mars, Jupitar. I would like to know has anyone visited another planet? How many cold planets are there? and how many hot planets? From Tara

  12. I saw the classroom with all the Solar System posters and space information for the first time this morning - it was awesome. Great effort by Mrs Chambers and all the kids of Room 19.

    TEST & REWARD - I'll give $5 to the first student who can tell me what year the Halleys Commet was last seen from earth and when is it expected to be seen again. . . . .good luck from Aiden's Dad

  15. Is Wade correct? How did you find the information Wade?
    Did you remember it from your reading group activity?
    Or did you look somewhere for the information?

  16. Well done Wade. You are absolutely right. Did you know that Halleys commet is the only commet which can be seen by the naked eye (without a telescope) and may appear twice in someones life time.

    I was only 12 the last time it flew by and I'll be 88 when it comes by again. . . . Yip I cant wait . . . . spend your $5 wisely.
