GAS!

Last week 2BP went on an excursion to see GAS! at the Pullenvale Environmental Education Centre. We finally got to see and meet Billie and Jeanie. While we watched the show we learnt all about the bad gases - carbon dioxide and methane, and how trees are like a pair of giant lungs that clean the air of the bad gases and make oxygen for us to breath. After the show we participated in a number of workshops. First we visited the GAS! show backstage and Ailish tried on the Mike the Car Salesman suit! Meryl, who played the character of Billie played some Drama games with the class and we all had a turn at "Kids Go Green" on stage. We then tried some Tree Watching with Ron and shared some observations of what we had seen. Next was a visit to Lucinda, who played the character of Jeanie where we also met Daniel and learnt a little more about photosynthesis, fossil fuels and how important trees are for the environment. All in all it was a fantastic excursion! We had a great day.
