The Old Farmer

Attacking the roof, the rain shattered down from the sky. An old man named James is a farmer who wanted to retire, but he did not have the money. He was hoping for some good luck and to pay off his mortgage and bills and then retire.

One day James was on his quad and he saw a man in an orange vest. The man was named  Phoenix. They chatted for a long time.  After a while they became friends. But Phoenix felt sorry for James. He decided he wanted to give James money so he could retire. James felt bad but Phoenix felt great because he had helped. James drove through tall fir trees framed on the mountain. Drifting into the Gray rusty shed, James shivered in the delicate rain. James had thought of a plan. The plan was to be room-mates.

After James had told Phoenix the plan, Phoenix agreed. Phoenix was happy to look after James. James and Phoenix would do farming every of day of the week. They really enjoyed themselves.

Should Children Do Homework Every Day Of The Week?

Firstly school work should be done at school not home. Secondly many children have sporting commitments. Finally children do not enjoy homework.

We go to school to learn we are not meant to be learning at home. At home we want to do our own thing. School already takes up six hours of our day.

Lots of kids do sports  after school. Sport is on a weeknight and we won't be able to complete our homework. Some children need to go to sport so we don't want to

No normal kid likes homework. Homework is a waste of time for me. Kids do not want to do homework after school.

I strongly believe all kids should not do homework. Kids are only kids ones so dont make us do more work.

Aurora Australis

Have you ever witnessed nature's light show dancing across the night sky?

This colorful display is often referred to and known as ‘The Southern Lights’. What causes this spectacular illumination, Aurora Australis?

Firstly a solar flare from the sun is what triggers an aurora. A solar flare is when two sides of the sun explode and it release ions, atoms and  particles into space. These particles travel through space and hit earth's magnetic field.

Earth’s magnetic field acts as an invisible shield around our planet.  The magnetic field blocks ions, atoms and particles from entering Earth’s atmosphere and guides them towards the North and South Poles.  

As the particles move towards the North or South Pole they accelerate and collide with other particles.  This collision causes the particles to release energy in the form of light.

In the North pole the aurora is known as the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis. In the South Pole it is known as the Southern Lights or the Aurora Australis.
