Science (Jupiter)

In our homework grid we were asked to write a post about one of the planets we have been learning about I’m going to write about Jupiter.

Jupiter is the largest planet it was named after the Roman god Zeus, It’s said that if the Sun should stop giving us light that then Jupiter should be able to become the next Sun  if that happens then Earth would probably die because Earth is right next to to Jupiter. Jupiter is 483.78 million miles away from the sun.  Jupiter was formed by Nebula. Nebula being  vast clouds that are made up of mostly hydrogen gas and other elements. Jupiter has a large red spot on it the Spot is called The Red Spot, not a very fancy name but it spins in a counter clockwise direction while Jupiter spins in a clockwise direction. Jupiter has 64  moons, Jupiter’s mass is 2.5 times of all the planets in our solar system put together. Jupiters outer layer is mostly made out of liquid hydrogen.

William Darling

This small book is about a boy called a boy called William but his old fashion dad is calling him William Darling until he buys very expensive clothing.

The best thing about this book is that his dad is VERY VERY old fashioned.

You might like this book if you also enjoyed  weird, short stories and stories that you can read in your spare time .

A good place to read this book would be in a hammock or a cosy room with lots of cushions.

If this book had a soundtrack, it would be ‘The Boy Does Nothing’ by Alesha Dixon.

Book Week Experiences

At school we had our book week, this means that for one day we dress up as caricters from a book and other days we look at the books  but we still have to do work every day.  On Thursday some of my friends and I dressed up as ‘ The English Roses’ the book is written by Madonna I had a very good time.

Inquiry (week 2 & 3)

For homework we had to answer the question in the following sentence; Many individuals and/or groups have made significant contributions to the development of Australian society in the areas of economy, education,science, arts & sport. Who do you think has done this ?

I think it was CSIRO (science) because they let us study deeper into science, The government  because they make some decisions for us, teachers because they teach us things, Miners they dig up minerals for us to make metal for us to use.

We also had to ask our parents that same question and this is what my mum said, Kathy Freeman because she let us know not to stop doing something when you are scared or someone tells you to stop,Kevin Rudd because he took responsibility to apologise to the aboriginal community. Another person would be Steve Erwin he contributed to the nature by looking after animals, Greg Clarke and his team for putting together the Adelaide fringe and love  for the arts.

Because it’s kind of hard to draw on the computer I’m going to use paint here it is.
