What causes day and night


In our class we are learning what causes day and night. Day and night is caused because of the spinning of the earth. The sun is a ball of gas. When the earth turns one side of the earth is having night and one side of the earth is discovering day. One side of the earth that is not facing the sun is having night and the other side is having day.  Also the earth has a 22 and a half degree tilt.  There are one moon and one sun in our galaxy but the other planets have more than one.  It takes twenty four hours to turn around the earth.   It is twelve hours of day and twelve hours of night.  But when it is winter it takes eight hours to get dark and in summer it takes.

Learning to skip


This morning I was walking to class when the the bell rang. Mr Ramkolowan said that we have to walk outside and skip. Melissa gave me a yellow skipping rope. We also had to make our skipping rope touch our shoulders.  We begun to skip a simple skip which is a forward and backward skip. We had a little space because  the people in the back of us were not  of us. Also we had to skip for 20 seconds of every skipping movement. People started to come to school.  We had a competition to see who was gonna skip the longest. I came like 10 out of 25.  After we had a drink and went to class.

Taekwondo

A few weeks ago we went to the hall and we saw a lady with a black belt. We thought we were gonna learn karate but we learned taekwondo. The first thing we learned was the tenets of taekwondo. These are the tenets of taekwondo.
  • Courtesy
  • Integrity
  • Perseverance
  • Self-Control
  • Indomitable Spirit
In the first week we learned how to say the numbers in korean.We learned it in Korean because Taekwondo is a Korean sport.  After that we learned how to punch the basic. The basic punches are the nose punch and the belly punch. The next week we learned how to to the quick flick kick.  We added the two moves and we got a combo.

The third week we learned how to get out of a grab. This move comes in handy because if we master it we can buy us some time to runaway from our enemies. Then we did this for about 5 weeks of the eighth weeks. In the last week we learned how to break a board. I broke a black board. The black board was the strongest board of the them all the whiteboard was the easiest  The other boys did to. It was the last week and we were sad to let Mrs Robinson leave.
