Primary 4\/5 are preparing to be the first ever astronauts to land on Mars in the year 2030.<\/p>\n

First we had to see how much we already know about the planet. \u00a0We worked with our shoulder partner to sort out fact from fiction. \u00a0There were 10 questions altogether each with three statements. \u00a0Only one card contains a true statement. \u00a0We already know quite a lot about Mars; our top scoring pair scored 8 out of 10…super!<\/p>\n

Our next task was to discuss what 6 items we would take to Mars with us. \u00a0We had lots to choose from so narrowing it down to 6 was quite tricky. \u00a0We had to justify our reason for choosing our 6 items. \u00a0We discussed each item as a class to decide if it really would be useful on Mars.<\/p>\n
