The year 5 went sailing first we walk to the beach and we watch them sail it was super fun seeing them sail . After it was our turn we were super excited to go but first we had to wait for them to come back to land .

We also learn how to get the boat in the water and. I told my partner to get in the bout while i push it to the water when we got in the water we had to have a rope cinted to a other boa

My amazing plants
This week we have been learning about plants if plants are so imports because without plants we could die . My favourite was learning about all the plants and listen to it . The thing that was very hard was to take notes when it was talked . The things that i learn was different plants and how plant live .
Plants are living organisms they all come in different shape,size and color,but they all need air,water,healthy and sunlight.Plant cover most of our earth Big or small on the land or on the sea from forest or desert plant are almost around the world. Plants are so important because without them we will die.
Plant create food from the sun energy that will help the plant . Cells wall are rigid and unbending since plant don’t have skeletons these .Cell wall give them their structure without cells wall tall tree, cactus and even little flowers would not be able to stand up. During Photosynthesis plant use the sun energy to change water and carbon dioxide into a kinda sugar . They use this sugar to grow and develop and store the extra in their leaves,roots or fruits.In addition to sugar plants produce oxygen during photosynthesis .
