Perseverance on Mars

 

As you may have heard there has been a lot of exciting news regarding Mars over the last couple of weeks. There are satellites orbiting and recording along with a new Nasa Rover has landed and begun investigating the red planet.



We started this week writing descriptions of the rover. It has a number of awesome tools and adaptions from the previous rover.  The students are very excited about learning more about the rover, craters and more so keep your eyes posted for future posts.




Here are some examples of our writing so far.
