Stardome Reflection

Stardome Reflection

On wednesday the Ctk seniors went to the stardome located on one tree hill. We learnt things such as:

• 109 earths can fit across the sun. (width)
• Mercury spins faster than other planet because the sun’s gravity is very strong and if it doesn’t spin fast enough it will fall into the sun
• It takes one year for the earth to orbit around the sun
• There are more than 300 planet that the people on earth know about.

Ten words that have to do with space are gravity, solar, Kuiper belt, Meteoroids, Asteroids, Comets, Planets, Hydrogen, Helium & galaxy. My 2 questions were : Do stars twinkle & Why do the planets orbit? were both answered as in stars do not twinkle and planets orbit around the sun so that they don’t fall into it.

Mother's Day Poem

💟Dearest Mum💟

When you thought I wasn’t looking,

I felt you kiss me goodbye before you went to work,

And I knew you cared for me

When you thought I wasn’t looking

,I watched you put loads of M&Ms on my cake for my 5th Birthday, 

And I learned little things are special
 

When you thought I wasn’t looking,

I heard you cheering me on during Athletics,

And I felt supported
When you thought I wasn’t looking,

I saw you handle your responsibilities even when you didn’t feel well, 

And I learned what it means to believe in all things

When you thought I wasn’t looking,

I saw you give money to a homeless man,

And I learned that it is an act of kindness to give to others without expecting anything back

When you thought I wasn’t looking,

I saw tears run down your cheeks,

And I learned that some things bring us grief,But it is alright to cry

When you thought I wasn’t looking,

I felt you pick me up from the floor and put me back on my bed,And I learned to help others

When you thought I wasn’t looking,

I looked…

And I wanted to say thank you for everything 

I saw you do when you thought I wasn’t looking.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY 

Love from Ferah

Go Karts Recount

Go Karts

Swiftly I headed down the narrow hill. I yanked the rope to turn left and instantly I flipped over in what felt like slow motion. I fell in on the grass onto the track. I got up, dusted myself off then had a little laugh. I felt a bit sore and embarrassed. As I was speaking I looked up and another girl came down and didn’t even flinch. I waited for my turn again and when everybody else had finished I took the kart and walked back up the hill.  

“Do you know what you did wrong?” asked Mr Evans.

I shrugged my shoulders.

He said “You yanked it really fast when you are supposed to pull it slowly.”

I giggled and said “Can I go again, on the same level?”

He said confidently, “ Nope you're going to the next one.”

I sighed, “Okay” I said.

We walked to the next level, level 2. I turned around as I dragged the kart and looked down. It was really high.

I turned back around and thought to myself “If I couldn’t make the first level, how can I make the second ?”

We finally got to the second level. I put my kart in place with Mr Evans’ foot behind the tyre. I sat on the sponge and held the rope tightly. Mr Evans slowly moved his foot away then pushed me down the track. I held the rope tightly and when the time came I gently tugged the rope and I had done it. I had finally made it without  tumbling over.
