Planets

Planets:

In science we have been learning about the 8 planets and what they are made out of. We have been asked to make a blog post of the planets in order from smallest to biggest and state one fact about each planet. 

Mercury-  Mercury is the closest planet to the sun which makes it the hottest planet out of the solar system.

Mars- Mars is named after the Roman God of War.

Venus-  It is sometimes referred as the sister of Earth.

Earth-  Earth is the only planet in the solar system to not be named after a Roman Deity

Neptune-  Because of the colour of Neptune it is referred to be name after the Roman God of Sea.

Uranus-  is the first planet to be found but the naked eye with a telescope. 

Saturn- Saturn is sometimes named after the (Jewel) of the solar system.

Jupiter-  Is named after the Roman King of God. 

The Moon Landing:

The Moon Landing:

Today in science we are asked to research if humans really landed on the moon. 

I honestly think that humans really did land on the moon. 

The reason I think that its true is because after Neil Armstrong came back from the moon,he had moon dirt on his suit which he couldn't get off. So the scientist grabbed some of the dirt and tested back at the labs. 

Another reason is once they came back they said how bad the dirt smelt. 

Another reason is they practice non-stop for a while one of the ways they got ready for going on the moon was they walked sideways.

There is no way that in 1959 there was good technology to act this and fake this. I feel like human's actually landed on the moon this is just my opinion.

My First Solo Performance: 

Last Friday in Music we performed out first solo performance and the instrument I played was Key board. The song I played Old Town Road. Honestly, I think I did pretty well with my performance. The only downfall was that some of the keys on the Key Board weren't working . If I could redo my performance I would go to a different Key Board with working keys.
