Last Blog Post for 2015

This year has been a great year, even though this year I have passed ups & downs this was a year to remember. One of the good things that have happened this year is that I have learnt lots in different aspects of learning. The down is that I will have to say good bye to all my year 6 friends as they go to intermediate.

My Term 2 Reflection 2015

Backward-Looking:

What have been your learning highlights this term?

I really liked P.E like Netball and Badminton. I also liked how we got to opt in to geometry workshops and choose what we do. Finally, I liked the new P.E equipment, for example the tennis nets because the old ones were ripped and saggy.

Inward-Looking:

What were your Learner Profile goals for Term 2? Have your goals changed? Are you on track to meet your goals?

I think a few of my goals were to stay focused and on track with what I’m doing. My goals have changed quite a bit like from being kind to being focused (as above). I think my goals have worked me well since I’ve got alot of work done when I this goal.

My Presentation of Why the Moon is Upside down?

My Word Cloud about the Planet Mars and writing

Introduction

There is a planet out there in space called mars it is named after a roman god of war. Mars is  since it is the 4th closest to the sun. Have you ever wondered if people could live on mars or what mars has that has been discovered?

Appearance

Mars is called or nicknamed “The Red Planet” because of it’s distinctive reddish orange colour. If you are wondering, “Why does Mars have different shades of red?” then the reason is that meteoroids and asteroids crash into Mars and create craters so the surface is uneven  and creates shadows which makes the shades you can see from a distance. Also Mars has the most tallest mountain in our solar system, it is called “Olympus mons”. So Mars is sometimes called the red planet instead of Mars.

Could Humans live on Mars?

If you are wondering if you could live on mars we’ll the answer is no. One of the reasons is that mars has a thin atmosphere, which means that there is not have enough oxygen for humans to breathe. Also, Mars has no magnetic field, which leads to lots of sun light shining onto the planet’s surface, which increases the chances of getting skin cancer. Furthermore, there are dust storms that last for months and months. You won’t want to be caught in one of those, you would have to clean, and clean, and clean, it wouldn't be very nice. Since these dust storms destroy everything in its path you will get destroyed too. Therefore, humans can not live on Mars due to these problems.

Conclusion

The last paragrapgh “could humans live on mars” it says you can’t live there, so they used a robot called the “Mars Rover” that is how they study mars, for more information you should check out the following link:http://space-facts.com/mars/
