COMPARING SCHOOLS IN CHINA WITH SCHOOLS IN AUSTRALIA BOOKLET

As an introduction to life in China, you will need to look at a map of China and the Chinese flag.

Now you will need to read KIDS FROM CHINA – FACTMONSTER.COM to answer the questions in your booklet.

Google to find your images:

FLAGS – You will need to google to find the colours of the Chinese flag.  Colour in your flag in your booklet.

CHINESE STRUCTURES – you will need to google to find pictures to copy one of these famous structures into your booklet.  Check the headings carefully.

Use PicCollage to print the structures in colour. Make them the right size to stick into the boxes in your booklet.

Chinese dictionary – to look up the words you need.

Have fun exploring Chinese school buildings.  Next session you will be watching some videos to understand what a day in the life of a student in a Chinese school is like.  Then you will be using a Venn Diagram to compare their schools with our schools. 🙂

 

Space Exploration

This week we are learning more about Space Exploration.  We have learnt about the first man on the moon – which was 52 years ago, in 1969.  Now we want to learn more about the Space Race which is happening right now – how scientists are working right now on the ISS (The International Space Station) and how Space Science is being used to develop new technologies to make our lives on Earth easier.

20 THINGS WE WOULDN’T HAVE WITHOUT SPACE TRAVEL 

These photos show you the International Space Station (ISS), astronauts working on a space walk, the Hubble Telescope and the Space Shuttle when it launched the Hubble Telescope into space in 1990.

THE MODERN SPACE RACE:

China and India have joined the race to explore the Moon (with robotics and lunar vehicles – not people).  China landed a spacecraft on the far side of the moon this in January 2019 and India sent a spacecraft on its way there too and, of course, the United States is committed to exploring Mars too.

Enjoy finding out all about this exciting field of scientific discovery!
