We have been studying magnetism and we have discovered that norhtern lights have a lot to do with this. But why do the norhtern lights happen? Well, as we have discovered, there is a solar wind. These winds send charged particles into space that travel at a very high speed and collide against the magnetosphere.
But sometimes the solar winds are very violent and explosions occur in the Sun (solar flares). It is with the solar flares when we see the norhtern lights, as these charged particles from the Sun collide with the gas atoms in the atmosphere. Each gas creates a different colour.

It's a rocket house. It's made of gold. It's in space. It has got a hoover where to pee. It has got five laser
beams. It has got seven windows.

During the first term, the children in years 3, 5, and 6 have been working on dinosaurs and have learnt lots of things. They have learnt so much, that they could become  paleontologists. According to the fossils they could find, they are able to reach a conclusion. Here is a prove of it!

'This dinosaur is a plant-eater because the coprolite has rests of a plant, the teeth are from a plant-eater because they are square, and the egg is round. The toothmarks on the feet and the claws under the earth indicate that a carnivorous dinosaur attacked him.The dinosaur had a shell, so it is ornithiscia,  more especifically a Thyreophora.'
Nacho Garrido

'The tooth indicates  that  this  dinosaur  is a meat-eater because  it  has a  sharp  tooth. The dinosaur  left  foot prints  and  they  indicate  that  this  dinosaur  had  2  legs and  3  fingers  so it is  a  theropod . I  found  the skeleton of the  dinosaur  and  it  is  a  lizard  hipped   dinosaur  so  it  is  classified as  saurischia . The coprolaite  intains  traces  of  meat  this  indicates  that  this  dinosaur  is meat-eater  and  I  found  the  eggs  of  the  dinosaur;  this  indicates  that  this  dinosaur  was  a  famele , the size  of  the  egg  is  big  and  it  is  oval  this  indicates  the  size  of  the  dinosaur  is  big and  meat-eater.'
