Hello readers for the last couple of weeks we have been reading a book called the cay and we had to do a task I chose to make a book cover. I renamed it because I like the name of my title. The title was called another day I called it that because the book is about people stuck on an island and another day would be a good title. This is what I done please leave a comment on my blog on what I could do better next time.

Eye Dissection
Hello readers for the last couple if weeks we have been learning about sound waves but yesterday we dissected a cow eye we watched a video and then we dissected the eye after a while I left because I hated the smell. I enjoyed the dissection but at the same time I didn't because it stunk. It was interesting because when we cut inside of it black ink came out. I was surprised to see people doing the dissection because it was yuck. I learned how to cut inside of a cows eye.

Cay
Would it be hard to live on a small island? I think it would because then you would have to make your own tools to go hunting and get food and water. But there are people who are good at that but all you can hear is the waves and the small island with trees. You might even try and walk around and find creatures.

Relaxing Boat Music
Hello readers for the last couple of weeks we have been working on 100 word challenges today we were doing one about a boat going in the sea I seen the waves splashing against my boat and then everyone falling over.
There once was a boat in the light blue ocean. You could hear the palm trees swaying the ocean loud because of the waves splashing against your boat. And the cameras flashing in my eyes I watched dolphins diving out of the water and then diving back in. I started to feel like the boat was about to crash into something and then It hit something at the bottom of the ocean. I saw water flying from the back to the front. I started to sit down next to my friend and we were talking about the boat. The End
