Pluto Information Pamphlet

 

This week we have been doing lots of work around Pluto, We were set tasks to complete by the end of the week. One of the tasks we had to complete was an information pamphlet, lots of facts about Pluto. Enjoy!

What Is A Planet?

This week we have been learning all about planets/mainly Pluto, we had many tasks to complete about Pluto and planets, one of the tasks we had to complete was writing about what a planet is. Here are some of the facts I've found on what a planet is. Enjoy!

What is a planet?


A planet is a celestial body, it orbits around the sun and it has sufficient mass for itself-gravity to overcome rigid body forces, so that it assumes a hydro static equilibrium nearly round shape, and has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit.

The names of all the planets:Mercury,Venus,Earth,Mars,Jupiter,Saturn,Uranus,Neptune.


Pluto is not under the list of all the planets.

What is Hydro static equilibrium? - In fluid mechanics, hydro static equilibrium or hydro static balance is the condition of a fluid or plastic solid when it is still/not moving. This occurs when external forces such as gravity are balanced by a pressure-gradient force and it is moving fast.

Is Pluto a Planet?

This week our reading tasks are all about planets but mainly Pluto. We had to write our opinion on 'Should Pluto be a planet?' Here is my opinion. I think it should be! What do you think? Enjoy.

Bruno's Diary Entry

 

For the past few weeks we have been reading a novel in the whole class called "The Boy in The Striped Pyjamas." We had a lot of tasks to complete, individually. The tasks were easy and fun to do. One of the tasks we had to do was write a diary entry from the main character 'Bruno's Perspective. Here is mine :

 

Dear Dairy, I really badly want to move back to Berlin. I don’t like it here! There is no one to hang out with, no fruit or vegetable stalls, I am so bored! Yesterday, I was so bored I decided to make a swing out of a tyre and tighten the rope around the tree. It didn’t really work out as I was ‘swinging too high.’ And I fell off. I cut my knee and got grazes on my arms. 

And now that I’ve moved I have to start school! Me and my annoying sister Gretal are having a teacher over to do lessons in the Mornings and afternoons. I don’t see the point as there’s only two students.

I read these books about exploring, they are really entertaining and they have left me wanting to go exploring for myself!
But overall I feel very bored here!
Yours sincerely, Bruno.

The Boy In The Pyjamas, BookMark.

Another one of the tasks we had to complete was creating your very own bookmark, this task was easy to do and fun to create anything you wanted. This bookmark doesn't look like much but it was actually difficult to line the barb wires up to the edges. Enjoy!

Gretal's Diary - The Boy In The Striped Pajamas.

For the past few weeks we have been reading a novel in the whole class called " The boy in the striped Pyjamas." We had to complete tasks around this book, One of the tasks we had to complete around the book was writing a Diary Entry for Gretal. Gretal was Bruno's older sister. If you haven't read the book or seen the movie, I highly recommend you do so! Here is my Diary Entry from Gretal's Perspective. Enjoy!

Dear Diary, Since we’ve moved to Out-with, I’ve been a little bit bored that everyday I arrange my dolls just to fill in time. I wish I had friends to hangout with, although there is someone that I do have in mind that I do like to talk to a lot. Lieutenant Kotler. He is such a handsome man, I have mixed feelings for him but even though I do have a little crush on him, The other night at dinner Pavel, our waiter/chef, looked very pale and weak and he accidentally slipped the bottle out of his hand and spilled it all over Kotler’s lap. Kotler stood up and beat him up. Bruno ended up crying and I was in shock that my face went pale.


Later that week, Bruno was reading a book on his bed. I came in and asked him a few questions about how he was feeling, he is bored as well. The funniest thing happened the next minute! He started rambling on about how he has an imaginary friend. I couldn’t stop laughing! He even believed I had an imaginary friend as well!

But that’s a secret I’ll never tell. Anyways bye for now.

Yours Sincerely, -Gretal.
