Will People Ever Live On Mars.

Will  people ever live on Mars 

Earth is getting overpopulated so mankind needs to explore other planets for settlement .

One of these planets is Mars and the NASA space programme is currently exploring if it can be inhabited by humans,  after finding out what can be done, or is required for safe existence. 

On  the 30th July this year a space rocket carrying a Mars Rover called Perseverance took off from Cape Canaveral in the USA. It will take nearly 7 months for it to get there.

The Rover has a machine called a Moxie on it which can convert CO2 into oxygen which could be used in buildings on Mars so that humans could live up there.

Ancient sites on Mars will be explored to see if any life has been there previously. This could be a positive sign for future human inhabitation.

A water source could be from underground ice on the planet which could be brought up and heated to turn it into vapour, then water. Fruit and vegetables could be grown hydroponically for a food source.

Some of the pros and cons about living on Mars are, that it is very cold -the temperature can get as low as minus 120 degrees celsius. So any buildings would all have to be joined.

💙Swimming Lessons💙

Written by Emeli Sione 

Illustrated by Jenny Cooper

1. Why do you think the children tell Dad that he needs to learn to swim? Because they know that it is important to know how to swim. This means that he would be able to help them if they get into difficulty while swimming. It also means that they can have fun with their dad in the water. 

2.What sort of things do you think that the children got stickers for? For listening to the swimming coach and doing what she tells them.  For putting their faces in the water. For floating like a starfish.

3. What did you like about the story? I liked that it was about learning to swim, as swimming is fun but also a skill that is important. If you get into trouble in the water, knowing how to keep afloat could save your life. 

4. What is another skill that is important to learn? It is important to learn how to read so that you can understand learning, follow directions, learn how to drive, be safe.

diamante poem

I am writing a diamante poem.

It has a diamond shape because you write one word, then two words, then three words then four words in the middle and then three, two, one word to get this shape. I like everything about it because it was easy. I wrote about a tree and the sky because they're both outside. The tree is in the ground but it reaches up to the sky.

Watercolour collage

drip
splat
blend
salt




This is a picture of my watercolours collage.

The materials we used were paintbrushes, water, water colour paint, salt, and paper.

We were only allowed to use two colours.

My paper was divided into four parts. The top left part is blended colour. The top right is salt on watercolour. We put salt on it and then we waited and it looks like sugar. The bottom left are drips where we dripped the paint onto the paper. The bottom right one is a splat where we put paint on the paintbrush and threw the paint at the paper.

I like all these techniques because I like paint.
