Our Astronomy Day

     My grandmother woke me up at 5 in the morning. When I woke up this day, I was very excited to go to school to watch and learn about the astronomy. I prepared my food and things needed for this activity. I took a bath and wore my PE uniform. I commuted to arrive at the school.

     

     When I arrived at the school, I was expecting to see the props that we going to use for this activity but I was wrong. In the morning we still had our regular classes. Some of our teachers was not able to attend our classes because of the preparation for the astronomy day.We also helped them in cleaning the rooms that we will use for this activity. We removed the chairs and tables, swept and mapped the floor.

     When we are done cleaning, we saw a van came. We looked outside and saw that it is the van for the astronomy day. They brought the things needed  for the activity. They also brought some astronomers to explain what they are showing. W e continued with our classes.

     When it was our break time,  we walked around the school. We observed what they arepreparing so that we can have idea on what to see later. We saw black curtains at the Chemistry lab which will be used for the film showing and some pictures at the Physics room for the exhibit. We also saw a small dome at the gym. At first, I was disappointed with what I saw because there are only few materials and facilities prepared and we payed 300 pesos to join this activity.

     While we are having our classes, we saw some other students preparing for their film showing. Since  we are at the second batch, we will have it in the afternoon. We had different schedules so that we will not be overpopulated inside the room. We had different lunch breaks. When we are going to have our lunch, we the other students starting on their film showing.

     After our lunch break, we went back to school and started our film showing. We watched bout the galaxies and telescopes. After the film showing, we went to the next activity and we had our exhibit, the astronomer showed us some pictures and true meteor rocks. After the exhibit, we went at the gym. We went inside a dome, the astronomer explained the day, night and the solar system showed inside the digital dome.

     Unfortunately, It was a cloudy day we did not have our star gazing. They said that we will just continue it some other time when they come back. We just asked the astronomers the questions in our mind about the solar system. We learned a lot this day. After all this exhausting activity, we went home 7:30 in the evening.
