What is Saturn hiding?

For the past 2 weeks we have been working on a Information Report about a planet we had to do some research about the planet that you done I done Saturn because the ring around it attracts me to the planet that's why I choose it. Once we done doing the report we had to writing some of our facts on a planing sheet.Once we done that we had to get to the real work and do our information report, and write the things from the sheet onto a template. The easiest thing was copying down what was on the sheet the hardest part was thinking of some extra things to put in here's mine.

What is Saturn hiding?

Did you know that All of the planets including Saturn is named after Roman Gods, and only 4 spacecraft’s have been sent from Earth!.If you want to learn more about Saturn then read on to know more.

Did you know that in Saturn is -178 Celsius. If you compare it to Earth,  Africa can reach up to about 55 Celsius. You’ve probably seen a ring on somebody but have you seen a ring around a Planet?. Saturn’s ring is formed from comets,asteroids and even moons broke up into pieces,Saturn’s ring is made of ice,dust and rocks. When gravity pulled swirling gas in with dust.

If Earth ever happened to umm, blow up we could go to Saturn but Is there life on Saturn?. If we did live in Saturn there wouldn’t exactly be solid surface. So say that somewhere in Earth like America had solid surface and we could stand on the ground, but if we were in Saturn we wouldn’t be able to stand on the planet. So we can’t grow anything on the ground because we need solid surface to grow the plants, but if we don’t have plants then we can’t live there because plants help us with food. By the way you can’t breathe on Saturn like Earth does.

Your probably thinking that animals and human beings could live on Saturn, but we can’t i'm gonna tell you why. We can’t live on Saturn because we can be sucked into a black hole and there will be nowhere to escape. There will be nothing to eat there because we can’t plant anything unless we bring some food. But that might not feed you for your whole life. Also because they will get dehydrated unless they try to look for water if there is water?.

Extra facts

Saturn has 62 Moons and, the first astronaut thought the rings were moons.

Fair or Foul

For one of our activity's for reading we had to write about stereotypes. To see if it's Foul or Fair this is mine.

Fair or Foul? 

Below write whether you think the statement is Fair or Foul. Provide an explanation for your answer. 

Your older sister gets to stay up later than you.

Fair

Because younger people need heaps of sleep.

Your brother got money for his birthday and you didn’t.

Foul

Because you would want to buy something important or to do anything with it.

Your friend brings her ball to school but won’t let you play with it.

Foul

If she brings her ball she should share it with people.

Nick always gets to be the line leader.

Foul

So other people can have a turn and they might be a bit more respectful for the line

You save a seat for someone in the lunch area. 

Foul

Because someone might want to sit next to you.

Different but similarities

For the past week we were given a task to do it is about space and to see if there are any similarities or different things between Sally Ride and Mary Jackson. We also had to do some research about them so we know what to write.Here's some facts about both of them. Sally Ride was the first American woman in space. Mary Jackson was an Engineer. And the similarity is that they've both been to Space.

Launch time

For the past two weeks we have been learning about space.We had to make a story about space either we are watching it on TV or we are the people actually going to the moon.The hard thing was thinking of a good story to write.The easiest part was thinking of cool adjectives here's mine.

I sprung out of bed with a glimpse on my face. I got ready for launch .I had to be quick before they launch the rocket.I drove towards the launch pad I was shaking like crazy, I could barely put my spacesuit on it smelt disgusting I should of put deodorant on. I couldn’t believe that I got to go on a rocket with Neil Armstrong.

When I got into the rocket all I saw controls and buttons I barely even understand what they mean, there were Green and Red button you should not touch them and some other button.

The intercom was so bad all I could hear was static and people just saying “Check, are you ready,Roger that” Okay this is the part we’ve all been waiting for “10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 - Blast off!!” 

As we were taking off the force was pushing me on the seat. When I was up in space I could see the whole solar system “isn’t that remarkable” I said to Neil.I had a million questions locked inside my head I saw one of my favourite planet which is very unique and that is Saturn the 6th planet from the Sun. I felt like butterflies or something was in my tummy.

The people talking to us finally say “Neil and Merika we have landed we have landed the three days are up” woah woah woah wait I hope we don’t land on any craters.I hopped out of the rocket with a big smile on my face. I jumped everywhere and even the moonwalk. I could see Earth from the Moon it’s like moving heaven and Earth between us.

After we finished doing everything on the Moon I thought to myself and said “Man I really want to come back it’s just so hysterical.” We got back to Earth. I was so excited that I was back home and everybody cheered for Neil and I. 

How long do you think it takes to get to the Moon?

Maybe you would have a chance to go to the moon someday. 

Seven stars of Matariki

This week for literacy we had do re tell the story of The Seven stars of Matariki because this week is Matariki. We listened to the writer read the story we had to make notes so when we make our slide show we know what to do.My buddy´s were Carla and Riansha is my buddy´s.The story was about Mitahi the youngest and his 7 brothers living in the village of Maketu and they loved no one else but their else because no one could match their beauty.One day all of them went hunting up a mountain when they got to the top they saw beautiful woman they all fell in love except for Mitahi because he knew that they were patuaiarehe  fairy woman. Mitahi knew something was going on the woman planned to starve them all to death the men became skinny and their looks faded away then they captured the woman they took them to the god of the stars and made them stars so every year they have a chance to shine.But were not quite finished.

Who Am I

For literacy we had to create sentences about our selves and what we think were act like.We had to do metaphors and similes.If you don´t know what metaphors mean it means not using like or as.And similes mean the same thing or the same thing as it.I found comparing my self to people challenging.The easy thing was thinking of a really good word and writing it down and making my story better here´s mine.

Guess Who?

Her eyes are as dark as the night sky with a shooting star shooting in her eyes. My Hair is as puffy as a small puffy cloud going puff. Their Gratitude is as high as you can travel to the sun. I’am as fast as Usain Bolt but not a Cheetah. I’m so strong that I could probably beat Dwayne Johnson in money in the bank on WWE. My Manners that I say to people takes them out of their box and explodes with a big smile on their face. When I get bored I Ignore what’s happening around me. I love Cheetahs and Dolphins because cheetahs are fast and Dolphins live the life in the ocean.Sometimes my patients can be good when a three toed sloth goes to move.My Birthstone is a blue stone like the sun shining onto the sea. When I want to try something that’s fun I get excited. Everyday I put my hair into a ponytail.Also my favorite video game is Fortnite!

Broken.Paper Scissors Rock

Today we had to finish our Broken,Paper,Scissors Rock we had to watch a video and re write it in our own words and make it more interesting to read.The video was about this Rock man falling in love with this Fairy and she was Paper.Then he fell down the cliff and he saw a angry man as scissors cutting everything and anything that stand in his way they were trying to run away then they went into a dead end and paper went charging at scissors but scissors cut her in half then rock beat him up and I think he was dead here's mine.

Broken Rock,Paper Scissors

One afternoon I was just laying on the dry dirt near tremendously enormous stones under the hot parching sun. I heard beautiful singing on the same day it sounded familiar and I think I knew who it was.So I went over the rocks and looked over.It was paper the Fairy she was in the green delighted forest checking if all the flower’s were nice and colorful. At the same time she was growing more flowers everywhere so it can be nice and tidy.When I saw her I felt like my heart was filled up with joy and my heart was gonna burst with love.

When I was watching her on a rock I was gonna ask her on a date so I  jumped off the cliff but I put to much weight on the rocks so it fell on me and it made me tumble down the cliff.It felt like a colossal wave but with rocks.It was embarrassing I thought that she would never go on a date with me.But then she said

”Hey are you okay do you want some help” said paper.

Then I stuttered saying my words

”uumm bbhh douh”. 

In the distance I heard screeching So I turned around there was this crazy person coming after Paper I think it was a person?.He was cutting down everything and anything that stands in his way.

He started to get faster and faster so I grabbed Paper’s hand but I couldn’t because paper beats rock so I whispered to paper and said”Come quick that dark man is coming after you come on”That man was cutting the grass and cutting the tree 's.Paper looked back and went with rock.I grabbed her hand and  ran threw a forest and into this place that looks like Mars we ran everywhere but it was all dead ends, He caught up with us at another dead end Paper and I were petrified.

Paper whispered to me and said

”I’m sorry rock but that is my crazy ex I left him because he was being mean to me he’s probably jealous and want to get back with me but it’s okay, I can take care of it oh and by the way his name is Scissors”said Paper.Then she flew to Scissors as fast as the wind like a hurricane was coming but then!

Scissors cut her I ran over to her but Scissors came and hit me on my back,I was raging so I turned around and punched him.I upper cupped him and jumped really high like hulk.He looked at me and said to himself,”Why did I do this”said Scissors I smashed the ground I ran over to Paper I shook her to see if she was still alive.She was still breathing so I tried to pick her up but I was cracking but I didn’t care I would rather give up my life for a beautiful girl like her.I put her on a leaf when she cracking and cracking when I put her down I just died before she woke up.When she woke up she saw me and grabbed my head and said

”It would be a crying shame to let my tears go to waste”sais paper.

The lost Horse

For the past week in literacy we have been writing pair writing so you had to get a buddy my buddy was Emma we wrote A story about The lost Horse.The horses name was Aleisha and her owners wont feed her or anything she had to provide food by herself that was hard they wasn't very nice at all then she just had enough and roamed of in the country she saw a scrumptious apple in the distance she ate it then she woke up in this magical stable.

My plan

Introduction:  she was lost she didn’t know what to do she was lonely and hungry.

Middle:  she escapes the farm and gets lost in the country then she ends back at the farm!!.       

Ending:  she get a home but she gets a bad home again and escapes again.

 

There was a tall, brown  horse in an old rustic stable. She was very lonely, she had no one to talk to and her mind got full of words. Her owner’s weren’t  that nice to her every night she would get no food.She would get hungry, she had to provide for herself.

Her name was Aleisha, she could jump over a log fence that was about 4 foot. But she didn’t want to because she was afraid that she would get lost in the country. “One night” she said to herself  “I will jump over the fence”.

A few nights later Aleisha decided that she had a enough! She tried jumping over the fence, but it didn’t work out, She was really anxious to jump over the fence, and she was kicking, the back of the fence to get out!  She put her tail between her legs, Then the owner heard her trying to jump over the fence and then they put her back into the dark and cold stable.

Then Aleisha heard walking over to her. She managed to jump over the fence but she court over the fence, but her owners put Aleisha back into the stable. The next night She managed to jump over the fence but, Her owners didn’t come out to put her back in the stable She was confused? that her owners didn’t put her back in her stable, She ran like she has never ran before,. She flick her mane in the wind, days later she got lost in the country she thought to herself that she has to find a home that loves me. So started to walk towards south.

And then she saw a delicious apple she wanted to eat it, and so she tried and tried to jump up and get it but then in one more jump she got  it.Once she got the apple she ate it she fell asleep and when she woke up she saw these very warm stables there.she thought that she was in heaven and she walked to this garden and there were these people and they were looking after her she thought that she found a family that loved her and she was right.then she spent the rest of her life there and they lived happily ever after.

Last week for literacy we learnt about of an explanation of sea turtles.

Title How turtles grow into adults

Date:2/08/2018

Sea turtles have existed since the Jurassic. They have lived for over 150 million years.When the mother turtle lays her eggs she looks for somewhere high to lay her eggs. Eggs First,deposited as a clutch of leathery, ping-pong ball-sized eggs into a nesting pit dug by its mother high on the beach. after the mother lays her eggs there will be one thousand eggs laid. Babies A small sea turtle is the size of your palm unfortunately 20% of the sea turtles will never hatch. Roughly a month and a half after having been laid,the surviving eggs hatch, squirm to the emerging from the sand along the way,debris,pitfalls,seagulls,crabs,racoons and other threats. Also only 50% of those that reach the surface will perish. Growing up Then find a whole new host of predators awaiting them; Various fish, dolphins, sharks, and sea birds, and when they run out of breath they will go up for air. Adults The survivors will increase in size,from that of a dinner plate at year one to that a dinner table,two decades later the survivors will be old enough to breed. So I will try and stop people from putting chemicals into the sea.The complete of this non-fiction story is that how sea turtles become adults. Also the sea turtles are endangered there is 7 species left.
	I like your introduction I like how you wrote the paragraph about the baby turtles because you used the right punctuation and simplified words. You just need to put more punctuation, you can also put more information to your growing up paragraph. And you can improve your conclusion by changing some ordinary words to scientific ones. But anyway, I liked how you explained your explanation. Angie - Buddy checked
