Postcards from the Planet...

Greetings from Planet Phantom! This is the strangest place I have ever been to!!! The land is dusty with an awesome view of the golden mountains. My alien friends are very nice, but they say it’s called Planet Phantom because of the Silver Yeti that lives in the dark caves of Walasala! SCARY!!!! The food and drinks are stunning. My favourite meal is Tiger's Tail with Beetle Juice Sauce. Everyone is acting like its summer but it’s snowing, strange. Don’t worry though I’m warm by doing my gross-ary shopping. Yesterday I even went in the gold streams by snorkeling through the gold crystal caves! So fun!!!!!!!!!!!! Wish you were here! See you soon, Gloria

Greetings from Planet Slick! This Planet is probably the strangest and prettiest places I’ve ever been. The zoffle trees are a main thing in this landscape. The ground is covered in silver moss and in the distance there are crystal mountains which are sharp and smooth. I know this because I found some time to do some mountain climbing. The local “creatures” gave me some of their finest delicacies like the tail of the choo choo chicken and the ear of the weeping wombat. However none of those foods came to my liking. Fortunately the weather has been great as there are usually dust storms. We also went hoverboarding and dust skiing! Wish you were here, Daisy

Making Oobleck

This morning room nine went out on the field in groups to make oobleck. Oobleck is gooey and messy and looks like milk. You get water and corn flour,two cups,a spoon and a bowl.First you put the water in one of the cups and then poor it in the bowl. Then get the corn flour in the other cup and poor it in the bowl. After start mixing it slowly with the spoon. Then start building up speed as you go.Poor in more corn flour if the texture is very sloppy. Keep mixing till the oobleck is not lumpy. The oobleck fells like a liquid When you put your hand in slowly. But when you put your hand in fast it fells solid. Oobleck is fun to make it fell like a really cool activity to experiment with.

Futuristic cities

Room 9 have been working on futuristic cities for the past two weeks. Our work had to have lots of weird shaped buildings. My work has a LOT of detail.We used bright felts to partly colour our city. First we drew random buildings of what we thought what the future may look like. Next we drew lots of detail on our buildings and in the sky (if you think there will be a sky). After that we drew over our pencil with vivid if the vivid was to thick to go over the little details we used Stabilo pen. Lastly we partly coloured our cities with bright felts. Here are some that are finished.

Balloon Jet Cars

Resources:                                                                          

·      skewers

·      straws

·      scissors

·      tape

·      hot glue gun

·      drill

·      cardboard

·      ruler

·      bottle caps

·      balloon

·      pencil

rubber

Method:

1.     Construct a 3D shape using cardboard. This will be the body of your car.

2.      Next you tape two straws to the bottom of the car. That are about 3mm wider than the car.

3.      After that you poke a skewer through the straws. The skewers need to be longer then the straws so you can fit the wheels on.

4.      Push wheels on the end of the skewers and attach with a hot glue gun.

5.     Attach a small bit of the straw to the top of the car. Next you attach a balloon to the straw.

6.      Check there are no holes in the straw by blowing the balloon up and hold it by the end of the balloon so no air comes out if it comes out of the straw put on another layer of tape.

7.     Now you are for the race course!

Sun Art

First we drew the sun on a piece of card, then we drew the rays on the outside of the same piece of card. Following this we cut out the detail and stuck the sun on another piece of card. Then we painted them with a roller and pressed the stencil on to a piece of paper.

Geometry Art

First we drew three or four random straight lines. Next we used our compass to draw lots of assorted sized circles. When colouring, every line we went over we had to change the colour we were using.

Persuasive Writing: Cats Vs. Dogs

Dogs Make Better Pets than CatsBy Ariana and Kate

 Although not everybody would agree, I want to argue that dogs are better pets than cats. I have several reasons for this point of view.

My first reason is cats kill nature and kill native animals, dogs are better around native animals and cats just have the urge to kill them.

A further reason is dogs are easier to train than cats. This way it is safer around babies than cats.

In addition dogs are like a cheaper security alarm but cats don’t do anything. Dogs make you feel safer and cats just sleep and eat.

Therefore, although some people argue cats are better than dogs, I think I have shown that dogs are better than cats.

Dogs Make Better Pets than CatsBy Jayde and Willow

 Although not everybody would agree, I want to argue that dogs are better than cats. I have several reasons for arguing for this point of view.

My first reason is that dogs play with you and cats don’t. Dogs swim at the beach with you, cats don’t.

A further reason is a dog can save your life by attacking the other person. A cat can’t save your life. A dog can help blind people cross the road, so blind people don’t get run over. Also a dog barks when there’s a robber so they can’t rob your house.

In addition cats kill birds and mice, dogs don’t. you can train dogs to do tricks but not with cats. You can always train dogs to sniff our drugs.

Therefore, although some people argue that cats are better than dogs, I think that I have proved that dogs are better than cats.

Cats Make Better Pets Than Dogs.By Daisy D and Gloria

Although not everybody would agree, I want to argue that cats are better than dogs. I have several reasons for arguing for this point of view.

My first reason is that you can let cats roam free, while you have to take dogs for a walk every day. Also dogs pooh everywhere and you have to pick it up. Cats cover their waste.

A further reason is that casts are a lot less noisy than dogs. Dogs bark frantically while cats are lying down and purring softly. Then also you can get a good night’s sleep.

In addition I think dogs are more expensive compared to cats. For example you have to pay for a collar, a leash and registrations. You also have to buy more food for dogs!

Therefore, although some people argue that dogs are better than cats.

I think I have shown that cats are a better pet than dogs!
