My special friend

Below is an explanation explaining what a special friend is and why my special friend(Savannah) is my special friend. I hope you enjoy reading my 'Special Friend' explanation.

My Special Friend

A special friend is someone who comforts you in times of difficulty and sadness. When you’re feeling sorrowful, heartbroken, betrayed etc…… your special friend would understand and help you. A special friend would show sympathy by comforting you in emotional situations.

My special friend is Savannah. In times of sadness, Savannah always looks at the funny side. We laugh about humorous things in our past errors, never at each other. Savannah is the only person who is able to activate my humerous bone when feeling emotional.  Savannah is my special friend.

Savannah is reliable and trustworthy. She is able to identify my emotions when feeling depressed, frightened, regretful etc…. I can share confidential information with her because she is trustworthy. Savannah is a dependable and trustworthy person.


A special friend comforts you when your feeling unpleasant emotions. When you’re feeling upset, embarrassed, enraged etc…… your special friend would be there to comfort you. A special friend would show sympathy by comforting you in emotional situations.

Phases of the Moon

Below is a presentation explaining the phases of the moon. It also includes two video's that is of interest. I hope you enjoy my group(Fine, Juliano, Efaraima, Yvette) presentation. I hope you enjoy this presentation.

My group presented this presentation to Room 5. Mrs Eeles liked how we added 'how to tell when the moon is waning or waxing' because she always forgets. I hope you enjoyed my groups presentation as much as Mrs Eeles. 

Stars explanation

Below is an explanation explaining why stars are not visible during daytime. This explanation was writen by Fine(a classmate) and I. I hope our explanation fascinats you to explore furthermore into the world of astronomy.

Why are stars not visible during daytime?

Have you ever wondered why stars aren’t visible during daytime? Majority of people believe that stars have disappeared as the sunset rises, but stars are still there, just hiding. Stars are hidden behind the bright blue rays that are received from the Sun.

Stars are produced when a nebulae creates a ball of helium and hydrogen. Soon this sphere flames up and creates a star. When the helium and hydrogen gases interact with each other, they form an explosion or scientifically known as a ‘Nuclear fusion’. The more nuclear reactions that occur on this star, the brighter the star becomes.

As the Earth is spinning on its own axis, it absorbs darkness from the moon and light from the Sun. This is because one side of the Earth is facing the bright light from the Sun, while the other is facing the dark moon. It’s like when a person is facing the light, and the back of their body is dark. This creates the illusion of day and night. Due to the Suns bright blue light, we are not able to see the stars that are actually still there. Luckily as night falls, the stars shine brightly and are visible to the human naked eye.


Isn’t it amazing how we aren’t able to see stars at daytime, when they’re actually still there? The world of astronomy and stars contain a huge range of information that has still not been discovered to this day, but its a triumph to know we both understand just a small amount of knowledge on this particular subject.

Create Task

This is my 'create' comic life poster I created for a homework task. It includes facts from the book I read about the first astronauts rocketing to space. I hope you enjoy my information poster on astronauts. 

Solar System Paragraph

Below is a paragraph my group created based around the solar system. I hope you learn some important facts about our solar system.

The Solar System is apart of the galaxy usually known as ‘The Universe’. The Solar System consists of eight planets, and more than a quadrillion amount of stars. In ancient times, people began to create constellations with the stars. Most people say that they’re able to probe the stars but do they realise stars are light years away from us, somewhere floating in lost gravity? Light Years away, Earth is spinning on its on axis. This process produces an illusion of day and night: One side of the Earth absorbs light from the Sun,  while the other side absorbs darkness. Because of the nuclear fusions happening inside the Sun, day is caused when  bright blue Sun rays hit Earth’s atmosphere, hiding stars from the naked human eyes. Astronauts who travel to space are trained so they’re able to help expand knowledge in space explorations and technology. We believe, that our solar system is unique.

This is an example of answering an easy addition problem.

Title: Spirit Walker
Author: Michelle Paver
Type of book: Fiction

Spirit Walker is the second book of the series 'Chronicles of Ancient Darkness'.

Paragraph:

Torak's life was at stake. Helplessly, I watch as Tenris takes hold of a knife. If  I had fought harder, if I had convinced Torak of who Tenris is, Torak wouldn't be in the position of death, the forest and sea wouldn't be further indangered, and Torak would be safe. Torak's power is too powerful to be in the hands of someone so evil and horrid, so with all my strength, I pull apart the rope around my sufficating hands and search for my bow. The female soul eater noticed I had escaped and was heading in my direction. I glimpse my bow and arrows and head to seize them. Before the soul eater had a chance to lunge at me a shoot an arrow at Tenris. He falls to the ground in pain and aggeny. I rotate round and shot the female soul eater. As fast as I could, I untied Torak from the stone that had Torak strectched like dough. "Renn, I'm so sorry. I should have beleived you before - " "Come on! You can apologize as much as you want, but we need to leave now". Torak and I ran our weak bodies to the seal clan and had our weak bodies treated.
