Phyu Sin- Spaceships
Task Description:Room 5 is learning about spaceships and rockets for this week. This is a cloze activity writing about how spaceships work and I hope you learn a thing or two about spaceships.
Spaceships
By Jeanne Biddulph
How do spaceships get into the sky?
Spaceships have powerful rockets to lift them off the ground into the sky. The rocket motors help spaceships escape from the earth’s gravity. The rocket motors also help spaceships overcome the resistance of air as they leave earth.
Spacecraft need special heat shields to stop them melting when they plunge back through the air ( atmosphere) around the earth. The spacecraft gets very hot as it forces its way through the air at high speed. When they get close to the ground, spacecraft need parachutes to slow them down for a “soft” landing.
The United States has built space shuttles that have stubby “wings” and can glide back to earth by themselves. Space shuttles are covered in special ceramic tiles to protect them when they plunge back through the atmosphere around the earth.

Phyu Sin’s Badjelly The Witch Recipe
Task description: For this task we listened to the book Badjelly the Witch by Spike Milligan. I made a revolting recipe: Rat tail ice-cream. Revolting ingredients, revolting instructions. I hope you like my recipe! Don’t make it in real life though.
Rat-tail ice cream.
A good dessert to eat when you are dying of heat! Or something to do when you want to get rid of evil, fat rats that will eat anything.
This will serve up to 20 hungry people. Make this now in 7 easy steps!
Ingredients needed:
3.8L of expired rotten milk 66 dried (or fresh caught) rat tails
81 grams of eyelashes ( any animal eyelashes would do) 10 grams of soot and dust
39 tablespoons of old makeup powder 777 unripe strawberries
4 litres of ice cold swamp water
Equipment needed:
Electric mixer. (if you have one. If not, use a) Whisk or a giant spoon thing. You will definitely need a big cauldron. And you will need a bucket and a plastic container.
Step one: Put the rat tails in the cauldron first. This will assure that the ice cream does not get too sour. Add the eyelashes, the makeup powder, and the expired milk.
Step two: Get a bucket, go outside and find the coldest swamp water. Bring 4 litres. The best time to find cold swamp water is in summer.
Step three: Put the swamp water in the cauldron. Put in the soot and dust, and the unripe strawberries. Do not mix yet. I never said to!
Step four: Then you can mix. Mix for 20-45 seconds.
Step five: Scoop out some of the ice cream mix with your container. Fill it all the way to the top and put it in the fridge for 1 minute. If you don’t have a fridge, go and find a cold place where no animals and people live.
Step six. Once it is frozen, pick the ice cream mix up. If you want more, keep doing step five and six again until the cauldron is empty.
Step seven: Serve. The ingredients might be disgusting but I promise it will taste really good! Enjoy your rat tail ice cream.
