For the activity was not really a activity because we had to write down the three things that we need to work on and achieve before the end of the term.
After we had a reflection on what we had talked about during the session. We spoke as a group about different integrity we have against the school, home and community.

Life on other planets
L.I to if other planets can support life.
Space is a huge place where there is nothing. We are learning about sustain life on planets. There are six main elements of life. Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Sulphur. Our work was to pick a planet to study, and research to try to find out if that planet can support human life in the future using help by machines. We had to present it to the group and get scores for them. The planet we picked to study on is Mars and Neptune.
Constellations
L.I to skim, scan and summarize information.
Constellations are a shape of something that is made up of stars. They are created by ancient people who saw stars and imagined of what it looks like. Skimming is reading a book and looking for information. Scanning is trying to find specific information. Summarising is reading a book and retelling it. So we had an activity to make constellations using skewers and marshmallows. Marshmellows were the star and the skewers were the lines that make the constellation. We had to choose a constellation to make and write down information about. The two constellations I have done is Leo, and Scorpius.
