HELPERS NEEDED!!!

Hello Parents, 
We are in need of parent helpers for the Gala.  A notice came home last week with the kids asking for parents to please offer at least half an hour of their time to volunteer. 
Please could you fill this in and return it asap. 
Regards, Gina. 

International Space Station Tour

WOW!  We found this fascinating video showing life on the ISS.  The kids in room 21 loved it! 

We had some wonderings afterwards though... 
FC -I wonder if you could sleep anywhere, without a bed, just floating around?
SL -Who was the first person in a space craft? 
IF -How big is the spacecraft, because from outside it looks small, but it could be really big?  
AY -Do the veges go rotten?  How often does the ISS get fresh fruit and veges delivered?  
IF -How long do the astronauts stay up on the ISS for? 
CL -How long does it take to get from Earth to the ISS? 
FC -What are the black parts? 
CE -I wonder if the astronauts miss home? 
DM -If your Mum and Dad aren't astronauts, are you allowed to bring them with you? 

The Cardboard Box Challenge

Here are the links to Caine's Arcade 1 and Caine's Arcade 2.  

We are pretty excited in room 21 about the cardboard box challenge.  This is an optional activity for the children at Willowbank to complete at home between now and the beginning of term 4.
Get your creativity and imagination roaring room 21!
