Look after your ears before it's too late! By Kevin

Vibrations that travel through the air can be heard when they reach a person's or animal's ear.


The thing that lets us hear sound is our ear. Our ear is an organ in our head, it also lets us hear sound from far or near. When we hear vibrations the sound goes into our ears and goes through our ear drums and into our nerves, and travels to our brain. And that's how we hear sounds.


The eardrum is in the middle of the ear. Once we hear a sound the air waves travels through our eardrum, then goes into our brain. The sound we can hear can will be heard from music or others. Another name for vibrations is airwaves. When we hear really loud sounds we might become deaf and our eardrums will get damaged.


We have ears so we can hear trouble, or someone who needs help. Without ears we won’t be able to hear what anyone says to us and that's why ears are very important.

We need to maintain Panmure cottage by Ella


WALT use the correct writing structure to explain the Panmure cottage.
I know I have learnt this when I can tell people about the history of Panmure in my own words.

Since the 19th Century until now, the Panmure cottage has been the only cottage in Panmure. In the 1900’s, the cottage used to be a house for people to live in. Nowadays it is a museum that tells us about the history of Panmure. In the olden days, they had no bathroom and that meant there was no toilet. Instead, they used a long drop (which is a very deep hole in the ground) when they needed to go to the toilet. Every afternoon, the people would go to the long drop. Every morning the people would pour the pee or poop outside.  People used to travel on big ships. In fact, it was so big that it could fit around 100 people. It took at least 105 days to travel to another country. A lot of people died on the ship. The Panmure cottage is important because it tells us the history of Panmure, and helps us to appreciate what we have now in present times.

Why are plants so important? By Ingrid

A plant is something that sprouts out of the ground, it starts as a seed and it turns into a tree or a flower. You can find a plant every where, in your garden, outside and in fields.  Do you know how important a plant is? It makes good fresh clean air for us to breath.       


A gardener waters and helps the plant grow from a bud into a beautiful flower or tree. They care for them and they look after them. Some gardeners sell them to the public.


The air we breath is bad to breath after we already used it because it becomes carbon dioxide. When it becomes carbon dioxide you can’t breath it again because if you do it will poison your lungs and more of your body parts. This will happen if you breath smoke and gas from factories.    
After we breath the air it turns bad. Plants like that kind of air. They breath in the old, bad, nasty air in. And they breath out it becomes fresh air. That is the air we are breathing right now. Then the process starts all over again and again.   


We need to treat our world with more respect so that the plants can grow and so that they can make air for us to breath.

Police officers by Aiden



The police officers are trained people that makes sure that the law is obeyed by the public. Police officers fight crime. They have a horn on top of the police cars because they use it to give them a warning to stop if they’re in a car chase. The police talk to the victims at the police station. Police also take people to the police station for alcohol testing. They stop bad people from criminal acts. The police stop drug dealers from moving drugs to other countries. The police officers are hero's to the cities that they live in. Sometimes the police are on the news. There are different ranks of police like detectives or captains. We need police officers so we can be safe and live our lives. Police protect us from murder and robbery.

Firefighters by Greshka

Picture by Pixabay Firefighters Why do we need firefighters? Firefighters are people who wear red fire-proof uniforms. Their main job is to put out fires. Sometimes they save pets (or any other things or people) from high trees. Firefighters can be any person, girl or boy, who are brave and not scared of fire. They can be in the age of 20 and higher. They might help you when your house is on fire. The only way they can go there is to contact 111 on anyone’s phone that is not in the place where the fire is. You have to tell the people that there is an emergency and that you need the firefighters, to resolve the situation and at your location. You can only call them when there is a fire-related emergency. After you finished calling the firefighters, you have to wait outside the house patiently. They will arrive at your house on a big, red fire engine. If there’s a person inside crying for help, one of the firefighters will go inside the house and they will carefully save the worried and trapped person. The rest of the firefighters will come out with water hoses and spray enough water to put out the destructive fire. Firefighters are really useful because they save people’s lives. If we didn't have firefighters in the first place we would get killed by rising fire. Some of them also save people from any other dangers.
