Star Explosion Writing

For the last two weeks we have been writing about a star explosion and what happens. Here is my writing

When a star explodes it means it has died. The star takes four stages to explode completely. I find them very interesting.


First it starts to fizz around its lavery edges as it heats up.  It’s midde starts to turn a deep red colour. But it’s getting hotter as the explosion continues. I think  this is because the star cannot hold all the heat. This makes me wonder how long do stars live for in space?


Suddenly white and blue flames burst from the star. It sprouts from different places at different times.The fame is blue and white because that is the hottest part. I think this is because the core is pushing out too much heat. This makes me wonder why do star explosions start with mini explosions?


Next suddenly there is a bright white flash like a camera flash. It’s so bright it looks like it could blind you. All you can see is it ghostly faint outline. I think it is like that because, the white is the hottest part of a flame and it's getting hotter and hotter. This makes me wonder why does it flash so bright?

Lastly it turns blue and the star starts to grow every second. It grows so large you can barely see around it. It’s like a balloon being blown up. I think it is because it is exploding. This makes me wonder will it make a black hole or is this part a black hole

Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn Poem

This week we have been writing autumn poems called goodbye summer hello autumn.
Here is mine

Goodbye colourful summer dresses and flowy skirts, hello warm jumpers and jackets
Goodbye frosty ice, ice blocks and ice-cream, hello tropical creamy pumpkin soup
Goodbye swimming in the cool outside pools, hello delightful inside games
Goodbye annoying flies and bits, hello amazing bit free days and nights
Goodbye helpful and divine sun hats, hello beautiful gumboots
Goodbye splashy water fights, hello leafy leaf fights
Goodbye bare feet inside, hello warm slippers
Goodbye green leafs, hello brown leafs
Goodbye summer, hello autumn.

Bio Poem

We have been learning about each other by doing all about me activities. Room 5's activity was bio poems. Bio poems are poems that tell people about you. First I planed about it I had to think very deeply about myself. 

The first line is your name and the second line is three additives, third line is who enjoys then what you enjoy. The fourth is what you are able to do. The Fifth line is what you feel and when, the sixth line is what you wonder, the seventh line is what you fear. The eighth line is what you care about and the last line is what you dream about.

Tia
Kind, loyal, creative.
Who enjoys reading, cats and spending time with friends and family.
Who is able to knit.
Who feels happy when reading books.
Who wonders what walked the earth and swam in the ocean millions of years ago.
Who fears of the dark and spiders.
Who cares about animals, her friends and family and cat toffee.
Who dreams of exploring the world and finding out about the animals there in the countries.
