My planet writing with some planet pictures.

Term 4 we are learning about the solar system, let me tell you the planets in order. Mercury is the closest to the sun because One half of Mercury is the innermost planet in our solar system. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. As such, it circles the sun faster than all the other planets, which is why Romans named it after the swift-footed messenger god Mercury.
Mercury was known since at least Sumerian times roughly 5,000 years ago, where it was often associated with Nabu, the god of writing. Mercury was also given separate names for its appearance as both a morning star and as an evening star. Greek astronomers knew, however, that the two names referred to the same body. Heraclitus believed that both Mercury and

Venus orbited the Sun, not the Earth. Venus is the second closest planet to the sun. Viewed from earth it is the brightest of the planets. In fact if you know where to look it is possible to see it in broad daylight. At night it is bright enough to cast shadows. It's brightness is due to two things. Firstly it is quite close to earth compared to the other planets. Secondly it is highly reflective and a lot of sunlight bounces off the planet.

Earth, our home planet, is the only planet in our solar system known to harbor life. All of the things we need to survive are provided under a thin layer of atmosphere that separates us from the uninhabitable void of space. Earth is made up of complex, interactive systems that are often unpredictable. Air, water, land, and life—including humans—combine forces to create a constantly changing world that we are striving to understand.Lastly Saturn is one of my favourite planets because I like the colour and also I like the rings because it is made out of ice rocks and also dust.

Viewing Earth from the unique perspective of space provides the opportunity to see Earth as a whole. Scientists around the world have discovered many things about our planet by working together and sharing their findings. Some facts are well known. For instance, Earth is the third planet from the sun and the fifth largest in the solar system. Earth's diameter is just a few hundred kilometers larger than that of Venus.

The four seasons are a result of Earth's axis of rotation being tilted more than 23 degrees.

My Tennis Writing.

TENNIS!!! It’s so much fun. All of the classes have had a lesson with an awesome instructor who has come to teach Pt England school Tennis. When Room 18 got the chance for the first time this year. There was a lot of excitement I because tennis is one of my favorite sports. When we had gotten to the court we had to wait for the other class to go, finally it’s our turn to have our lesson.

When I was waiting in the line I was thinking what would be the first thing he would say to us, We all grabbed a tennis racket and a tennis ball. We were all waiting for the coach to tell us, what the first thing we could do.Then when everyone had got a tennis racket we all lined up, girls on one side and the boys on the other side, then he started to teach us some skills and some things we can do and somethings we can’t do. Then he did something impressive and after he asked us to see if we could do it.

Afterwards he had said to us “if you can do more than ten we were awesome”, then we were all challenging our self to see if we were awesome but some of us just got up to nine.Later, the instructor taught us a game called King of the courts. We would be in a group of eight and we would all be lined up on one side of the tennis net.

Our tennis couch taught us how to play first andthen we could try the next round, we all had one round of playing the game and then our coach joinedinto our group.At the end of the lesson I felt so tired and also it was an amazing experience, to have a chance playing tennis.

Lastly I think that tennis is an enjoyable game to play.
