Magical Box

I will put in my box

A swangdoodle swinging on a sticky piece of snot,

A glittering eye of a baby dragon,

And a sparkling star from Matariki.

I will put in my box

A boiling iceberg from the North Pole,

A rock from a pinwheel galaxy,

And a yellow meteor pulling Earth in its orbit.

I will put in my box

A gigantic camera pushing to orbit Mars,

A scorpion with a trunk for a tail,

And a black talking fire eating concrete.

My box is created from stone

And ancient bones of the blue whale for the hinges.

If you open the box you will suddenly have wings. 

I shall glide in my box,

And land in green lush grass.

By Zedyn Fellows

My Magic Box

My Magic Box

I will put in my box

Six pink ponies jumping over a rainbow in pink tutus,

A snowman  surfing across an ice-cream mountain with a penguin,

A purple panda jumping into a pot of gold in the green grass.

I will put in my box

A house made from a chocolate fountain that burps out snow,

A male whale spurting out marshmellow plops,

Ane three golden cheetahs poncing acorss the sky in red lipstick and red tutus.

My box is fashioned out of rock dust and ice,

And the corners are made out of dinosaur claws.

The lid has stars on it,

And speckles in the corners.

I am going to fly to Pluto and back.

It will take me one hour.

My Magic Box

My Magic Box

I will put in my box

Red hot snow settling on silent volcanoes,

Ten cotton candy hats pouncing on an anndoodles,

Big fat fish swimming in the sky.

I will put in my box

Purple skin from an alien from Pluto,

And the crack of lightning on a cold winter’s night,

And wood from the first tree in the universe.

I will put in my box

Coal-black dogs riding Chinese dragons,

Great big water slides built out of snow,

And the first touch of water.

I will put in my box

Big bouncing blueberries sizzling in the summer sun,

Rainbows with the colours all mixed up,

And zigzag planets floating with gravity.

My box is fashioned from

Rocks from Mars,

And gold from the ancient times. 

It is ball-shaped.

I will fly to the end of the Milky Way galaxy and back.

My Magic Box

MY MAGIC BOX 

I will put in my box

A big fat purple pig with a long swirly tail swimming in chocolate,

A flying red and black dragon with five heads and one eye on each head,

And a fat grandpa floating like jelly to Jupiter.

I will put in my box

A flying rotten banana twisting into the dwarf planet Pluto,

A book with glasses and freckles going round the world a hundred times a minute,

And a pencil writing one hundred thousand words in 10 minutes.

I will put in my box

Scissors chopping everybody’s fingers off,

A shark with six eyes and big fat purple teeth,

And a plane that is as big as Africa.

My box is made of iron dinosaur’s teeth.

On the top of my box is a golden picture of a dragon,

On the left and right hand sides are red buttons,

If you press this button then you go into the magic box,

And I will motorbike in it.

My Magic Box

My Magic Box

I will put in my box

A floating house made out of fire and candy-floss,

A rubbish man sent out to space on Mars,

A flying dragon with five heads on a ginormous beach with shells.

My box is made out of rubber,

My hinges are made out of snow.

The shape of the box is square.

I shall fly up to the sun and bring back a speck on the sun!

Making Our Own Moon Craters

Today we looked closely at photos of craters on the moon and the Earth.  We recorded our observations.  Next we did an experiment called 'Making Our Own Moon Craters'.  We filled a pan with bout 5 cm of flour. Next we added a tablespoon of cocoa and mixed this to look like the surface of the moon..  We smoothed out the flour with our hand to create a flat surface.  Next we held a marble about 5 cm above the flour and released it .  

We observed what happened and recorded this on a chart.  We n explored different impactor sizes, weights, distances dropped, or angles of impact. Each group then conducted an experiment by changing one variable to see how it affects impact crater size.  

Group 1 used different impactor sizes

Group 2 used different weights

Group 3 used different distances 

Group 4 used different angles

We  recorded our results and reported our findings to the class.  These findings were recorded on a chart and written up on a class chart.

Look at the crater formed from the impactor.
