Balloon Jet Cars

Resources:                                                                          
·      skewers
·      straws
·      scissors

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!
