The reason I would want to visit this country is because I want to see all my family that I have never seen before. I also want to see snakes if there is any. I want to try and join in one of the kids Australian football aussie kick team. How big the emu's are and what they do, My favourite colour is green and gold but I have never seen a better green and gold before. And I want to find out the 6 different contents of Australia.
This is why I really want to go. One of the other things is that I have never been there so yeah. My family is planning to go to australia next year for a holiday to meet the rest of my family.

My experiment gone wrong - Narrative writing
WALT: Include our senses in our writing
This week we have been learning about an experiment gone wrong. What we did was that we did a narrative writing about anything but it has to do with an experiment that goes totally wrong. On the top on this description there is a narrative writing that I have created and on the side of the writing there is comments that I have done for my checklist. My checklist is out of ten so I hope I get all of these things I need to work on:
1. Title/Orientation
2. Problem
3. Solution
4. Sounds like
5. Smells like
6. Felt like
7. Looked like
8. Tasted like
9. Editing - Punctuation/ Makes sense
10. Paragraphs
So here are the 10 things I need to work on please comment down below and write what I need to work on thankyou.

My Rust task
WALT: Synthesise information from multiple sources.
Here are three ingredients we would need.
Iron
|
Water
|
Oxygen from the air
|
brief paragraph explaining the rusting process (why rusting occurs)
You would need Iron, water and also oxygen from the air. It starts with the oxygen from the air which mixes with water, Secondly, The iron surface of the nail reacts with the oxygen mixed in the water. It forms iron oxide. When the iron oxide reacts with water. It forms hydrated iron oxide the red stuff we would name “ RUST”. This process continues until all the iron is eaten up.
“ Other metals damages in different types of ways, but the only type of material that can rust is metal with iron in them.”
|
How could you prevent something from rusting?
Whenever you put iron, water, and oxygen in a test tube together you would recognise that when they all mix up together it’s colour would be brownish which is called “rust”. So the best way to prevent it is to keep the three ingredients separate from each other (That’s what paint does, or the spray-on wax and oil coatings that the car protection companies sell.) Always keep your tools dried, wipe down your bike after a ride, and keep water away so they can’t rust.

Something new I have learnt from this reading.
One of the things that I have learnt from this reading is how metal rust and why.
The second thing that I was interested from this reading is some of advice of how you could stop something from rusting.
And I have learnt a knew word that I didn't know the meaning of. Alloy, it means that when a metal is with another element it makes the metal stronger or more resistance to corrosion.
