Coopers beach camp

Last week we went to Coopers Beach to camp.We had a lot of fun with friends and family. We had some challenges and scavenger hunts. It was a good three days.

We had milo every morning and we had desert every time after dinner and a lot of swims down at the beach. We had a turn on the water slide and we had trampolines. It was fun!

It was the best camp ever in my life and I wanted to stay there forever!

Science fair

 Yesterday we had our school Science fair.My Science investigation was about a"CANDLE SEE-SAW"    

Moon Rover Landing

For science we made a Moon rover lander using only a paper cup, paper, cellotape and straws.  We were given the task of making our Moon rover land softly onto our Moon landscape so that our marsh-mellow astronauts did not fly out.

What I like best about my Moon rover is the red paper.

What I needed to modify on my Moon lander rover was to change the weight on it, to keep it balanced and upright.

One thing  I learned about landing on the Moon was that you land on the Moon very sloooooooooooowly.

Here is a picture of my Moon rover landing on our school’s Moon surface.  I hope you like it!
