Inquiry Topic Term 2

 

This term our new topic is Beyond The Sky we basically learn about the nine

planets this week we are learning about the Sun and Solar system for our inquiry

I learnt some amazing facts when I learn more and more here’s one fact I learnt about the

Earth. That our earth is not actually round but is like a squashed shape that is uneven,

and here’s one about the inside and outside the Earth that I learned in literacy

 The earth is made out of layers on the outside is the crust, which is where we live.

In the center is the core which is very hot and in between the crust and the core is mantel

which is made out of magma  here’s one more fact about how old the earth is

Scientists estimate that the Earth is about 4.5 billion years old thats it for today guys.
