why year 4's should go to camp
Dear Ms Ritchie
after watching the year 6 camp videos I am very dis-pointed that year 6 get to go to camp and we don't. So I would like to persuade you to let year 4's go to camp.They get to do fun things at camp like archery boggy boarding and the tower building and we have stay here and don't get to do those fun things.


It is not fair that the year 6's get to do all the fun things at camp not only that they got to go to the beach and will probably go o much more fun trips I feel very UN-happy its just not fair I want to go to camp.I wish I was a year 6. We can also learn skills like how to do archery , boggy boarding and how to do the tower building.It will also teach us how to stay  without our parents in another place and we will have to get out of our comfort zone and we will sleep in sleeping bags not in out beds.

 I hope this is enough evidence to let year 4's go to camp in- conclusion I am hoping that you will let us year 4's  go to camp.

Professor mac-doodle is a mad scientist that loves to make evil potions
but they always fail!!!

His hair  sticks out so much and it looks like the sun is very mad.
His eyes  look like fierce balls of fire. The professors long orange beard
hangs from his huge oval face.The evil professor has a pair of glasses

that he uses for special and dangerous experiments.

Popcorn

Popcorn feels as soft as a feather. It Feels like a silky cloth.

It sounds like a microscopic explosion.Popcorn sounds as loud as a hammer.

The yummy Popcorn  smells buttery and salty. The smell of popcorn also smells like corn which has salt on top.

Popcorn looks like bumpy rocks on the moon.When there in the popcorn machine they look like mini clouds popping out of nowhere.

Popcorn tastes salty and smooth. The delectable popcorn taste really buttery.

favorite cakes from room 15

statistical investigations  
 My group did statistical investigations on favorite cakes these were the options.

• chocolate cake
• strawberry cake
• cheese cake
• vanilla cake

• mint chocolate cake

My prediction was that chocolate would be the most popular and vanilla would be the least popular.

in conclusion my prediction was wrong I found out that cheese cake was the least  popular cake and one person voted for it and mint chocolate was the most popular cake and 7 people voted for it.
