My Poem - Feelings

Feelings


Sad feelings happy feelings
Like an uneven scale
Excited people joyful people
Matches up the scale
Lonely people depressed people
Like unwanted
Hearts
Tremendous feelings marvelous feelings
Like visiting the gates
Of Heaven

Antarctica

Antarctica


Fossils of plants and ancient dinosaurs found in Antarctica show the continent once had a warm climate.  Trees and plants grew there before the land drifted towarss the frozen south pole.  This took millions of years.

Now Antarctica is the world's most windiest and coldest region with ice 5kg thick in parts.  Some recorded wind speeds are over 300 km/h stronger than most cyclones.

Thousands of beautiful sea and penguins feed in the oceans around Antarctica but no land animals live on the continent.  We can see only tiny insects and not one green tree.

Only scientists and other workers live in this huge area of land.  Each year thousands of tourists visit the warmer parts in planes or ships.  We hope they don't spoil this  large part of the world.

In science we are given this as our homework and to find out facts about each planet and what is the interesting fact that I learnt in all of it, for example, Uranus is well known as the giant gas planet in the universe and that Neptune suffers the most violent weathers in our solar system.
