Marble Run
In our science topic fair testing, we conducted an experiment called
marbel run.We chose a large marble amd a small marble.
Which marble do you think is faster?


To make sure we have conducted a fair test, we have to select our marbles cerfully but to make sure in every other way the marbles
were identical but we made sure that the only difference is the size each marble was made out of glass the same colour, and had the same pattern.The only variable was the size and the proportionol weight.


The result was that the big marblewent down the trackand the small marble got knocked off the track.

Reflecting on my writing


I have been learning how to write a character description. This term I have written a piece about Little Red Riding Hood, and another piece about The Big Bad Wolf. I have been using a guide of the features I need to include, and have also focused on varying my sentence beginnings; writing more ‘saturated’ descriptions; and adding extra details as I revise my writing.


I think the main differences between my first and second pieces of writing are that I am now not using he or his for the first word for a sentence and I am saturating my sentences with more descriptions.

Big Bad

Big Bad

Lurking in the shadows is a big, black-hearted, monsterous wolf.
His coat is a glossy black. Above his long nose is a pair of firey red eyes 
that gleam when a human walks past. Ears prick up from his dreadful hairy head when a feast wanders past.

He sneaks around like a ninja, not leaving a scent behind him.
When you think you have seen something out of the corner of your eye - but 
when you look you actually see nothing - that's The Big bad Wolf.

Crawling through the bushes,  scraping and sharpening his claws, a demonic, evil grin spreads along his dark cruel face.


Bushy eyebrows look like black rims around his horrid evil eyes. His teeth drip with envy after payback. His teeth are a mustard yellow, but there are stains of blood remaining from after a feast.
