Our solar system orbits one star, our sun, eight planets and billions of asteroids. Me and my partner, Spencer, researched Venus. Venus is the hottest in our solar system because it  is the second closest planet to the sun. Venus is sometimes called earth’s twin because it’s nearly exactly the same size and they’re both rocky planets. Venus used to have water billions of years ago.

My partner and the other class members made the planets that we researched. We painted our planet tan and orange  and the last part was drying it out over the weekend. Today we made labels and added them to our planet and the solar system.

At the beginning of the term we learn how to write a haiku poem which comes from Japan. You write the first line with 5 syllables and the 7 in the second line and in the last one back to 5 syllables. It was fun

 I was excited at the beginning of Mission Day. We went to church and we were allowed to wear mufti clothes.

Our game was fishing, and there were lots of  prizes like Slinkies, bracelets, yoyos  and  lollies. I had 5 coins to spend at Mission Day. It wasn’t just for fun, it was for raising money for the Holy Angels orphanage in India. Their Mission Day raffles were 3 bikes and rugby balls. I didn’t get the bike but I had lots of fun.

Last Thursday morning I had to come to school with my sports gear because we were having cycling lessons. I was a bit nervous because I didn’t know how to ride a bike.

We met Stephanie and Lucy and we had Stephanie with our group. We went up under the canopy. I put a helmet on and she gave me a bike. At first I had to scoot with two feet on the ground. It felt painful because my bottom hurt.

After a bit I felt more confident and I had to lift up my legs and glide and then stop. It took me a while to do this. I could glide down the ramp and I felt so happy.

After morning tea I had to practise using the pedals. It was hard and I hurt myself ten times. At the end of the day I was pedalling all by myself around the top court. I was proud of myself.

I hope I can ride again soon and when I told my mum she said maybe for Christmas.

On Wednesday at School some of the Year 4’s in our class had to stay behind when the others  went to the Rippa Rugby Tournament. At first some of the Room 7’s and 8’s came to have prayers with us. After prayers we did Maths with Ms Kyle and we worked as a whole group together.

While the girls were learning to crochet, I was drawing. I drew a dragon because I like learning facts about them. My dragon is beautiful because it is a Fire Element.

Later we went outside towards  the pathway to see the flowers which are called Freesias. They were yellow, lilac and vanilla coloured. It smelled like my brother’s cologne. I had a fun day.
