How the moon and sun got on the sky

Space

These are three planets. I made little aliens to go with my picture. Mrs Crockett  told me to put it on the blog because this term we are learning about space.I used pizap to create my little text. I used the app called Space to create my picture. I added aliens planets and space ships. I liked the backround  so I used it. These are the three planets. I used a purple and an orange Jupiter. I used an orange earth.

Suzie and the space nuts

The dragons reading group read a story called Suzie and the Spacenuts Episode 1 . They had a go at writing a prediction. What is going to happen in Episode 2 .

Here is Jake's prediction. He also drew what he thought the planet of Spungo would look like.

I predict they go find the space ship. When they find the space ship it is locked up in a big giant cage. They go up to it and an alarm goes off and they go to jail for a year. When they get there they think about what happened last time and they run to the space ship and break the cage and fly away.
