The World Of Mars

In Week 5 of Term 2 our class focussed on how to write great information reports.

We wrote about the planet Mars as we are in the middle of learning about Planet Earth and Beyond. Learning how to write a geat information report will help us with our self-guided topics in a few weeks time.

Here is my writing, after I have self-assessed and peer-assessed my work.

The World Of Mars

Introduction

 Mars is a BURNING, HOT and DUSTY planet that has been named  after the Roman God of war. Mars has a very hard crust and also 2 volcanos. Today I am going to be telling you about Mars, In this report the paragraphs are going to be about Surface Features, Could Live humans Mars and Human Exploration of Mars.1a

Surface Features

 Mars has been called the red planet and Mars is very different to our world, Mars’ surface has iron oxide which causes the dust in Mars to have a red colour. This is because there is lots of dust and the colour of the dust is red. Also there are burning volcanoes on Mars. Oftenly Mars is very dry so it has no oxygen or even worse, No water! (H2O). Mars has a rocky hard floor, also  some scientist thought that there were rivers on Mars. Mars doesn’t only have a red atmosphere but also has a thin atmosphere.

Could Humans Live On Mars?

 

HAve you ever wondered who has been to Mars

Launched on December 4, 1996 by NASA aboard a Delta II booster a month after the Mars Global Surveyor was launched, it landed on July 4, 1997 on Mars's Ares Vallis, in a region called Chryse Planitia in the Oxia Palus quadrangle. Also Mars is cold, I know what you are thinking. When Mars is normal it is pure red, when Mars has a sandstorm then the colour changes to golden brown, Sometimes the sandstorm lasts for months. Sometimes they bring Mars rovers and send them to space. The people who didn’t want to die during the dust storm had to live in space shuttles.

Human Exploration of Mars

     

So the Mars Rover goes into Mars and then they land on Mars, the rovers job is to collect samples of Mars. Furthermore, the typical time during Mars closest approach to the Earth every 1.6 years is about 260 days to travel to Mars. The first mission to Mars simply just flew right past Mars because the Astronauts did not notice that Mars was right there! Mars Has lots of rovers still there...

Conclusion

I hope this Information report has been a help to you. I hope that you now have the courage to make your own information report about anything else. By the way here is a facts about Mars:  http://www.planetsforkids.org/planet-mars.html

Hi this is my Thinglink about Anzac Day and this has videos and a Croak.it which is a new app that records you instead of typing, please leave at comment and they is a peice of writing and a DLO (digital learning object)

Weekly Reflection T2 W1

What: I Have been doing some work on Anzac. I have learnt many new words like conscription which means you have to do it. Also conscientious Objector means which is a person that is unpopular and Is a coward because they do not fight.

So What: We have been learning this because Anzac Day is coming up and this is a really special  Day. Also a very Solemn Occasion because we are remembering the soldiers that fought and risked their life for us.

Now What: My thinking now is that I am more confident about Anzac Day Now. I think that I am more confident to speak in my group instead of saying in my head that oh no this isn't the right answer. How I am Confident is because we have done many work and learning about this

Explanation ; How To Survive Your First Night In Minecraft

Have you ever wondered how to survive your first night in Minecraft because today I am going to be telling you how to. Now if you are new to Minecraft then good for you I am going to be explaining Minecraft to you!

Your first order of  business, Go and assemble some wood from the trees. You will need these for building weapons and crafting. Also you will be needing wood because you want to build a house, you need more branches to make ligneous planks and also to make your house. Lots of resources, what I mean by that is lots of food and weapons to stay away from creepers.

Secondly, you have got to have a wooden door  and then you need craft sticks to make weapons. Also you need to find a good place to build a shelter and put your door in  your shelter. Don’t go just in a cave because there might be creepers and monsters there. Also add a bed.

Fastly, run to get light. You can also build a shelter in the tree and make sure your intact and can see your surroundings. Or you can neatly dig into the side of the mountain and build a shelter there. Now at first I told you, you needed lots of sticks and wood.

As soon as possible, kill cows and pigs so you won’t get starve and die. You also need to mine cobblestone to build a furnace. Also mine sand so that you can can get glass so you drink in it. You can get a cobblestone by using a pickaxe and then you go mining for them. When you are hungry kill animals so you can get more food. You will know that you will get hungry because it shows one drumstick you are hungry.

Lastly, you have your house and your bed do now you can sleep your night and relax.

You will need to put lights on the windows.

In Week 6 of Term 1 our class focussed on how to write great explanations. We wrote about how to survive your first night in Minecraft (the game a lot of us are obsessed with!).

Here is my writing, after I have self-assessed and peer-assessed my work.
