Space

The Big Freeze Theory

For science at the moment, we are doing a topic called 'Astronomy'. Astronomy is the study of space and planets, meaning we were looking at the universe. I learned some really cool things with the class, as well as my own things through research, such as how and why they do space missions, night and day, changing seasons, tides, and even more. There are even more things than you would think to do with space, like tides. It is not just rainfall that changes the tides, it is actually mainly the moon and it's gravitational pull. When the moon passes around the earth, it goes and pulls water towards it, making the sea rise in one place/country and fall in the opposite to it. One thing I started researching was how big the universe is. There is a certain topic in Astronomy named "The Ultimate Fate of the Universe" which is about how big the universe is. A couple of things I found out was that if any living thing could get to a certain point in the universe, they would die from something called the "Big Freeze" or Heat Death. It is when the universe reaches Absolute Zero temperature, basically the coldest temperature it can get, which is hard to believe really. But the universe goes on further and further after that before black holes start appearing and that is pretty much the end as nothing or no one could get past those. I really enjoyed this topic of Astronomy as I have always been interested in it and would really like to research further into it one day.

Textiles Creative Creature

For Textiles this term, we have been making and sewing 'Creative Creatures.' This one here is mine and I think I would rate it very well for myself. Skills that I used were things like sewing on buttons when it had been stuffed and I learned how to snip the insides to make it not so compacted too. It was pretty fun but I had lots of challenges the whole way of creating it. I hope you think it is good.

This is the bar chart that we made for maths this week. We surveyed the whole class on what their favorite instrument is to either play or listen to and these are our answers. I hope you like it!

The Evil Marshmallows From Outer Space Narrative Writing

For writing last week, we have been writing narrative stories. We had to plan it and learn the plot planner and then write out the story. Mine turned out really well and I hope you enjoy it.
