Egg Diary


                                                    Diary Entry Number 1
Born into the giant egg world


There I was sitting in my lovely egg tray nice and snuggled in with all my egg friends. When all of a sudden... BAM the light just turned on and I was quickly grabbed by a HUMONGOUS egg. This humongous egg had hands and it just took me out of my tray WITHOUT EVEN ASKING. How rude. Then I was laid down on the table I quickly rolled until I rolled to the edge of the table, but I was caught just before I hit the floor. I saw the giant egg grab some pens. It started drawing on me! Then I realised the giant egg didn't mean any harm it drew me some cute hair, ears, eyes the giant egg even gave me my own bed. Now I don't have to be with those noisy eggs when I sleep. I was also given a name the giant egg named me LUX! I didn't understand the name but I was ok with it. Turns that name is from a game. The bed was placed in a container the giant egg added a nice bell to it. The next day I was brought to the giant eggs... SCHOOL??? I didn't know giant egg like this go to school. I slept through the morning when the giant egg had TV station.Until I was woken up by someone holding me and throwing me in the air. I almost thought I would never see the sun ever again aft that horrible experience. I managed to survive but I didn't think I could take much longer, I was brought to a classroom and I was greeted by other eggs. I could relate to them! They had all been taken from their homes, drawn on, given a new bed and took to school. I was SUPER tired after that so right now I am taking a nap.

Rain Writing

                              Rain Writing


My writing goal so far this term has been to write complete sentences showing where one sentence ends by putting appropriate punctuation, and starting the next sentence with a capital letter.

Here is a piece of writing about the rain

DRIP DROP SPLISH SPLASH

I look outside my window. Rain falls down onto the ground, smashing down like a pile of paper slamming down onto a desk. As the rain starts getting heavier, it paints the window, puddles start to form and I see people opening their umbrellas.  Little kids are running around and screaming frantically “ A TORNADO IS COMING HIDE!!” I simply ignore them and keep staring outside my window and imagine what it would be like if i were out there.

I see children scampering around like a bunch of wild horses, they are all desperate to get shelter since the rain was so loud and heavy.  Suddenly the rain stops. There is an ominous silence that which I take my time to slowly get up. I am silent.

The sun came out, puddles started drying up everything returned back to normal. Except one thing… It rained again. ; - ;


So how do you think I’m going with my goal?

HOW THE BODY WORKS: EYES HEART DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

Blood comes from the Right Atrium, Through the Tricuspid Valve, and into the right ventricle, then through the Pulmonary Valve and into the lungs where it takes a load of oxygen. The Pulmonary nerve takes blood to the Left Atrium then through the Mitral Valve and last to the Left Ventricle. Now let’s talk about the digestive system.When you eat food it goes in your mouth and the food is chewed into bits. .After, the salivary gland makes the bits of food slippery so the food can go down the esophagus. Seconds later it travels through the stomach and into the small intestine. Little while later it is in your large intestine, after that the food goes in your rectum and down to the anus.  The eye is about the size of a ping pong ball . The pupil is in the middle of the eye, the iris is surrounding the pupil. Therefore the window to the eye is the Cornea. The cornea  focuses light as it passes through.Did you know the iris is behind the cornea, it is the thing that makes the eyes colourful.. In the middle of the iris is a black circle called  the pupil, the iris has muscles attached to it to control how much light comes in from your pupil.
The pupil is an opening to let the light come in,
the more light there is the smaller your pupil is. Blinking protects your eyes and gives moisture.
Light passes through the lens. Lens take the light back where the seeing really starts to happen.
They are attached the fibre muscles which is attached to the ciliary.
The ciliary muscles help change the lens making it focus a lot or less.
To see something near the ciliary muscle make the lens become thick,
to see something far the ciliary muscles make the lens thinner.
Behind the lens is the retina which is the back wall of the eyeball.  Lens focus the light onto the Retina. The Retina has lots of light sensitive cells called rods and cones, there are 120 million rods and 7 million cones in each eye WOW!
Rods see in black, white and shades of gray. Rods help us see the shape of things they also help us see in the dark.
Cones are sensitive to one of three colours Red, Green or blue together they let us see millions of colours. Cones need more light to work then rods. Messages are sent through the octave nerve. Messages are sent to the brain by the octave nerve, it sends messages  about what they are seeing.
