Planetarium









Last Wednesday, a Canadian Educational program, Aster, came to show us a planetarium. In the beginning, we were a little worried about going into the ''dark tent''. But once inside, we found it was just like the night and we felt more comfortable. We saw planets, stars and constellations. Our presenter, Megge, showed us the differences between the planets. She explained that the earth goes around the sun and the moon around the earth. The older children also learned about shooting stars and aurora borealis. They even saw astronauts in the international space station! Everything was in French and we all really enjoyed it. - Les Petites et Moyennes Sections
