Speech Writing

We have been learning how to write speeches. I wrote my speech on TV.

How much time do you spend watching tv?  TV is something you watch that
shows movies and programmes, such as the news. I only watch tv for half an
hour a day. I believe too much TV is bad for you and here are my reasons why.

Firstly too much TV is bad for your eyes. Staring at a screen for a long time will
give you sore, dry eyes and if you don’t blink much you could get a headache. If
you spend too much time close to the TV, it might mean you will need glasses.

Secondly some of the programmes are not suitable for children because there is
some violence and inappropriate things like dangerous stunts or tricks. You think
you can do the tricks that they do, but you could hurt yourself.

Finally, TV makes entertaining and interesting stuff so you keep watching and
stops you from going outside to play.  TV is good for entertainment but we need
to remember to get outside to get fresh air and exercise through playing outdoors. 

Yes, TV can be entertaining and you can learn things on certain programs but
don’t watch it too much. 

Maths book

For maths this week we read a book called one is a snail ten is a crab. We then worked in groups to create our own version.  My book was called...One is slug  and ten is a sea pig. Here is my book. I hope you like it.

Title: Moon Rover Lander Label: Scienc

For science we made a Moon rover lander using only a paper cup, paper, cellotape and straws.  We were given the task of making our Moon rover land softly onto our Moon landscape so that our marsh-mellow astronauts did not fly out.

The materials I used for my Moon paper cella tape straws cappapercc cella tape straws cap rover is …..

What I like best about my Moon rover is everything. Most importantly that it landed without losing my marsh-mellow astronaut.

What I needed to modify on my Moon lander rover was  nothing. It was all good!

One thing  I learned about landing on the Moon was that you don't need a flat surface to land on the Moon. What you do need is a Moon lander that has springs on the bottom.

Here is a picture of my Moon rover landing on our school’s Moon surface.  I hope you like it!
