Planet

L.I: To identify the conditions required for life and human life

For inquiry I filled up a template about the planets. I chose 1 planet to write about and that was Saturn. On Saturn its 75% hydrogen and 25% helium. Saturn is the 6th planet from the sun and it takes 29 years for Saturn to orbit around the sun. Saturn doesn't contain water because its made out of gas like Jupiter. It can't support Human life because of the gas on the planet.

L.I: To summarise and retell a text

I summarised a text from a book about steel turning into a bicycle. First the workers heat up the steel inside an furnace to make the steel soft. Next the workers shape the steel into tubes. Then the workers cut and bend the tubes into bicycle pieces. They then paint the tubes. They then connect the conveyor belt to the bike. After they put on the handles and slide the brakes, shifters and grips onto the handles and finally the workers put on the pedals, seat and the bell on the bike.
