1. The Atmosphere stops the sun from burning us and the gases from escaping.
2. There is no ozone above the Antarctic.
3. Most energy sources produces gas and most of the gas harms the atmosphere.
4. Sulfur dioxide reflects sunlight, that helps it to cool down the planet.
5. When the amount of gas in the layers of the atmosphere changes, our climate conditions change as well.
6. Without greenhouse gases (Carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen dioxide), Earth would be a very cold place.
7. If there are too many greenhouse gases, earth would be a very hot place.
8. The atmosphere is about 375m/600km high.

Let's play Xbox!

One day during the holiday, my friends came over to my house after mass.

One of my friends asked me if we could play Xbox because he brought his Xbox C.D, called Call of Duty. I said, “Sure!” and got out some controllers. Then we started playing the game and as we were playing, some more people came over to visit us. Soon there weren't enough controllers for everyone so we had to share.

Later on, one of my friends and I got bored so we went outside to play some basketball. We were just shooting the ball into the hoop so I asked him if we could play horse and he said, “Okay!” Horse is a game where one person makes a move and the other person copies it. If you can’t do it, you get a letter until you collect the word ‘horse’. If you get the last letter ‘e’ you’re out. I lost because the moves that he made was too hard for me to follow.

After that, we went to grab a bite. I ate some rice, chicken and sweet and sour pork. We also drank some coca cola. Yum! It was really tasty!

Then my friends and I played minecraft on Xbox. We played my building world and then one of my friends had an idea! He said to play in survival mode so we could fight! So we did, but I kept dying in the game.

Soon my friends had to go home. It was fun playing with them, I wish we had more time to play on the Xbox because the game was so much fun.

Let's go to the Herald theatre!

On the last day of Term 2, Saint Patrick's School went on a day trip to city. My favourite part of the trip was going to the Herald Centre to watch a play. The play was about a boy called Rima going on an adventure to find a way to get rid of the smoke that is covering his town. My favourite part of the play was when the smoke machine shot out real smoke and filled the room. It was hilarious! The trip was really fun!
