This is my Work of the Week this week because I thought I did really well making it ryhme.

Stars
They stay in the sky
Stars are really bright
So many stars come out
And only come out at night

Stars are a really weird shape
You don’t see them in the day
Stars have 5 points
Night is when they come out and play

Stars live by Mars
They are in the sky
They have an unusual shape
I don’t think they will die

They live by the moon
I think they are hollow
I wonder if they move
I wonder if they follow

The moon their friend
Knows the sun
Who is the king
Of all the fun

I chose this piece of  handwriting because I thought that I was really neat and all the letters touched the top line. I thought I did well.

This is my Work of the Week this week because I thought it sounds very descriptive with all the describing words I put in my story.

As I take my last exhausting swing dad calls”dinners ready”. Just one more game I thought to myself. Taking the first hit and ready for the next one all I see is a dark,blank,black tv screen.”Dad”! I yelled what did you do that for I wondered.I hear dad starting to reply but then decide there’s no reason to argue. I staggered out of the room. And after I gulped down a small,tiny glass of juice I was back playing Wii.

My work of the week this week is my Rona and the moon story. I thought I did well because I tried and described objects by adding descriptive words.

“Rona get here now” I need a glass of water so go and get me one.Rona argued with her husband and Rona just gave in.She was still groggy from her sleep that she tripped over a cord to her alarm clock.As Rona was about to get a glass of water she saw that the Taha was empty. With the Taha in hand Rona started to reach for the old,rusty door handle.Once Rona had opened the door and as she walked outside all she could see is a bright sky because of the moon.Rona finally reached the river when the moon slid behind a cloud and Rona slipped on a rock.Rona cursed the moon and the moon cursed Rona.As Rona clung to a tree the shiny bright moon swipped Rona and the tree.When the moon snatched Rona he stuck Rona and the tree as a pattern on it’s self.

My Work of the Week this week is my Aries constellation project.I like all of it because I thought I did well.  I learnt alot of new things I did not know about my constellation.

This term for theme we are doing Astronomy. We had to do our star sign. Click the link and then press F5 when loaded to view when loaded.

This is my work of the week because this graph shows how many times one player did paper,scissors,rock.Next time I will make sure that it is easier to read and more clearier.This graph shows that player 1 used paper 46 times so if you were to play player 1 you would use scissors.

I put this piece of writing as my work of the week because I thought I used alot of descriptive words in my writing.I thought I did really well at writing this piece of writing .It is one of my really good pieces of writing.

I can just taste all the gooey carmel melting in my mouth.As I take another bite of the delicious.I slowly take my last tiny piece of my sweet chocolate bar.As I finished all I can feel is a tiny piece of carmel stuck to the roof of my mouth.I wished that I could have another one. Suddenly I remebered  that you could win a free bar.Snatching the wrapper off the seat I saw that I had won a free bar.I felt so happy that I ended up eating it so fast that I nearly made myself sick.

I put this as my work of the week because I used adjectives,verbs like old,rusty,jolted and words like that.I think this is my best piece of writing this year and I think that using these words makes my writing sound really descriptive. 

“Good morning class”the teacher calls.

“Good morning”the class replys.The teacher calls the roll and tells us what we are doing. I quickly,jolted hand up so that she would ask me what I wanted but she didn’t.So I went back to my old,scratchy,rusty desk.I put my hand up again.She was up the front of the classroom writng something on the board and she saw me and didn’t do anything.I shouted out”MUM”!She zoomed around to see who it was.I leaped down and watched her from under the table.It was like I was spying on her.The teacher saw me hiding and thought I was playing games.I jumped up and admitted that I called her mum.The next day she came to school wearing a name tag on.She explained that this is her name not mum.I was so embrarrassed.The whole class started laughing at me.

 Overview

My experiment was to see whether plants need soil to grow.

My prediction was that plants do NOT need soil to grow.

Here are some pictures that we planted in soil.

Dried soil

Soil without water

Soil with water

This is a picture of the plant that we planted in cotton wool.

Cotton wool

Results

As you can probably see only two grew.My prediction was right plants don’t need soil to grow.I can conclude that plants do not need soil to grow.

Closer observation

Not all the plants grew. As the pictures show that two of the plants only grew weeds.The cotton wool plant and the soil with water plant grew.I can say that plants don’t need soil to grow.

Problems

There were some problems that might of affected the results such as…..

* We forgot to water them some days.

* They didn’t get watered on weekends.

* People touched them.

Things I would do differently next time.

Put the plants in a different place.

Change the type of seed

I would water them in weekends

I would change the plants containers

Possible futher studies

I can think of a couple of things I could study on based on my results

*The speed of the growth of the plant

*The type of plant seed
