I strap myself in to my seat then I hear a BOOM! OMG   the rocket starts to launch into the sky, A force of adrenalin  rushes through my body, I get pulled down from the force of the rocket. “No going back,” says Jared as the shuttle starts to vibrate and all of our gear falls on the floor and tips everywhere.

No GRAVITY!!! Yes!

as I flip in joy. Bye bye Earth.

18 minutes later we are skyrocketing and spiraling past the moon. “Ben be sensible with this ship”

Jared and Cameron say to me. Suddenly we run out of gas, Jared chucks the emergency 20,000 litres in the funnel when it spills through the rocket and catches a light, we’re not good. but I am still going to do a backflip in the rocket while spiraling right before Mars…

3 ½ hours later…

Backflip time. over we go, quarter over, half way over, Suddenly I stall the jets. “Ben!” What have you done? We crash against Curiosity Rover then I lose sight of it. We are stranded on Mars with the green martians coming at us. What should we do?

Planetairum visit

HOLT PLANETARIUM VISIT  

Monday 16 June 2014

Something I enjoyed was looking at mars

    because it looked bright.

Something I found interesting was their toileting

    because it sounds weird.

The most exciting thing about space is zero G’s

    because I could break world records of the biggest back flips

I would like to learn more about planets.

“How do stars in the universe have an impact impact on us?”

I want the rest of my inquiry topic to be about: The life span and heat of stars.

My birthday

Today it is my birthday. I got a new go kart, a 32 inch flat screen tv, a scratch pad for drawing and lots and lots and lots of lollies. Here is a photo of my go kart. I am changing the number to probably number 10. Over the weekend I have been also feeling sick, I have been eating too many lollies.


In class we had cake also. Mum made and  brought in a Minecraft cake it was yum. We had chocolate cake, vanilla cake and lollie cake. I only  ate vanilla cake
