WHY Did the Moon look upside down when Neil Armstrong step on it?

The great asteroid (the Moon) has lunar phases which means that it looks different every night. Some believe that the shapes are shadows from the Earth, however we will begin by explaining the Moon’s orbit of the Earth, and then go through the phases of the Moon.

WHY Did the Moon look upside down when Neil Armstrong step on it?

Introduction

The amazing asteroid, (the Moon) appears to change every night and has lunar phases which causes it to change shape. There are two lunar phases that the Moon appears in waxing gibbous and waning gibbous.

The moon’s orbit

The extraordinary asteroid, (the moon) is known to be orbiting around the earth and only the earth. The Moon goes through different phases every month or night, but when the moon orbits the earth and it gets back to where it started it is a new moon, then a waxing crescent, after that it is last quarter,  then amazingly a full Moon then it starts all over again but from the full Moon to the new Moon in waning.

Phases of the Moon

The Moon goes through phases every night or month manly there are eight phases in a month. The first phase is the new Moon the new Moon is a Moon that is no where to be seen at all. The next phase is a waxing crescent which looks like a banana, then it goes to a first quarter which the Sun is just shining on its hafe that's the part that you can see. After the first quarter it is a full Moon that means you can see the, whole inter Moon. When the full Moon has past it starts all over again but in waning and from the full moon to the new Moon.

• Conclusion

Now you amazingly have some facts about the Moon you might even want to make your own explanation writing, but really if you want to learn more about the amazing asteroid (the Moon) vist this website: (http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/sciencefacts/space/moon.html).  And heres one more fact The average distance from the Moon to the Earth is 384403 kilometres (238857 miles).

2015 Term 2 Week 5 The deadly planet Mars!

Here is my ABCYA word cold of my writing I hope you like it and try and find a sentences that is in a paragraph.

In Week 5 of Term 2 our class focussed on how to write great information reports.

We wrote about the planet Mars as we are in the middle of learning about Planet Earth and Beyond. Learning how to write a geat information report will help us with our self-guided topics in a few weeks time.

Here is my writing, after I have self-assessed and peer-assessed my work.

THE AMAZING PLANET MARS that is very deadly

Even when Mars is covered with asteroids and meteors they still go in and make it really holey holes in its red liqucked dust. Mars is with nothing on it only red dust and rocky volcanoes, the red dust cause horrible things like sand storms that can make you blinded for ever and ever. Mars is really red because, of its red dust.
