I really enjoyed doing research in groups because it was fun and we got to talk about the planet. I also enjoyed making the paper mache because we got to make lots of mess with the glue and we got to talk about what planet we were going to paint. The comets were also fun because we got to prick the comet onto the paper. The milky ways were awesome because they look great and they were great to make. I loved making the aliens because we got to get all dirty with the glue and paint. It was great being able to just talk and talk and talk.

I enjoyed Researching the planets because you could tell your friends about your planet and it was fun. I also enjoyed making the paper mache
because It was very messy and I like mess and I did not like paper
mache because the glue looked yuk. The space aliens were fun because when we finished there was a huge
mess. I also liked The milky way because we used gold and silver glitter. I think for next year they should have the
same kind of stuff.

Eliza you should not need a user name to comment on a post. Remember to click on 'other' when choosing an identity in the comment page and then you won't have to post as anonymous.

i REALLY loved the paper mache because you get all messy and you feel really old because the glue dries up on your fingers and you feel all rinkley.
I liked the comets aswell because we go to pin prick the comets and they looked awsome hanging up on the window!!
I liked the speeches the most because you get to make planets out of potatoes and i'm surprised that the potatoes didn't grow!!!
I liked speeches because you get to talk FOREVER!!!!!!

The work you have completed in the Space unit throughout Term 2 shows that you have learnt much about our planet. Your aliens look great! Well done Year 4.

During the space unit I have really enjoyed making our paper Mache’s. I liked it because I got to do something different other than always painting. I also liked it because you got to get all glue all over your hands and the best thing is that you get to peel all the sticky glue off your sticky hands. I also liked researching about a planet. I liked it because, first I didn’t know anything about the planet and then when I researched I knew a lot about it. Once we researched our planet and got it checked by the teacher we got to type it up on the computer. The thing I liked the best about our space unit was researching about a planet and we got to present in any way we liked. I presented by putting my information on cardboard. I liked it because you got to use your brain and think hard. I liked it because you got to be creative and use all different kinds of tools. After we finished our projects we had to say a speech about the planet. I researched the planet Jupiter. Natalie

I enjoyed making the alien because we were making it from scratch. What I didn’t like about it was change Things a lot.

In the space unit I enjoyed doing our projects. The thing I liked best about it was researching the planet I chose. I liked thinking about what I was going to use. I also liked paper mache I liked getting all messy and getting my hands all gooey. When we were finished there was a huge mess. I also liked using the glitter for the Milky Way. The thing I like best was researching in class.

What I enjoyed is working as a team to find information about space and share ideas around. Also I like designing the alien scratch and making a big mess

I liked when we did our speech and when we did our
Milky Way because we used silver and gold glitter.

I like learning about planets of our own choice I also liked making aliens because you got to see what types of material stuck to each other. I didn’t really like doing the paper mache because my balloon went down and the paper sank.

I enjoyed when we did our paper Mache. We used Flour and water to make glue to stick the newspaper. After 4 layers the next week we got to paint it the planet you wanted it to be. I also enjoyed when we got to make our aliens and put it all together and see everybody’s alien. It was really fun when we got to make the galaxy with all the silver and gold glitter. I liked when we got to make the comets with the pin. It was really fun when we did space.

My favourite part in making the alien was when we got to make the parts for the alien and paint it. And to put them on the internet .

My favourite thing in the space unit was the paper mache because I liked when we got glue stack on our hands and you had to scratch it off, all so I liked making the alien because we got to do it with boxes, straws and all sorts of staff. I liked saying out the speech out loud the class and my project was great because it was decorated on every page and I did Appearance, Structure, Landforms, Gravity, Distance from the sun, Atmosphere, Could humans live there, Size, Trip to Neptune and there was more.

I didn’t like the paper mache because the balloon popped and when it dried up it had a big dint in it and I did mars.

I want to start all over again.

Well Year 4,
I think the the things you enjoyed doing the most, were the things that made the most mess!!!
...Only joking!!!

You have listed many things from the space unit that were fun to do. Many of the things involved 'creating' something that showed your learning. This is important to remember. I think we often enjoy doing things that allow us to use the information we've learnt and show it in our own special ways. Well done Year 4 on some great learning in this unit.

ET- all our comments are moderated-that means that they are checked before they are posted. It is not often that a comment is not published. Although any comments that have something that concerns us- for example the person has used their full name when signing off, or the spelling or sentence structure seems to have been REALLY rushed,(we allow minor mistakes), or the comment is not appropriate, then these comments don't go through.

We always have to remember, that our blog is on the internet. Potentially there are many people who could view it. We need to always remember our internet safety, as well as to respect ourselves and our audience. By publishing work that is generally well spelt and thought out, we are putting forward our best efforts. Having the comments moderated allows for someone else to check, and it also makes sure that our blog is used in the right way for the people it was intended to be used by.

We'll try and let you know why a comment was not posted so you get the chance to go over it.
