Star Dome

Hello Str00m30 blog readers!
Have you ever been to a star dome? How about going in a star dome with a group of your best friends? Well that’s what we did today!
There was a star dome in the school gym today, and classes took turns going in and listening to stories in them. There was a man named Darren, and he guided us through old tales of the stars and how it came to be.
We listened to him tell a story about a winter that never ended. The squirrel thought that the summer birds brought summer, but the birds hadn’t come back. Squirrel went looking for them, and found a cave. He looked into the cave and he heard the bird singing a beautiful song. He followed the song and at the end he saw the summer birds. The winter god had trapped the summer birds, so that summer cannot come back over the land. The birds were tied up in some thin string, but it was too thick to break free of. Squirrel came over to the birds and chewed all of the string off, and the birds flew as fast as they could out of there.  Squirrel was to slow to come out of the cave and the winter god started to chase him at the sight of him coming out of the cave. Squirrel climbed up the top of the tree, but the winter god shot an arrow, and barely hit the squirrel and squirrel flew up into the air. Squirrel got pinned to the top of the sky, and now can be seen as what we commonly call, the big dipper.
I loved doing this activity. I hope we can do it again. It was like having a planetarium in our school!
Thank you for reading,
Alex
