Did you know that Romans made the first calendar based on the movement of the moon.  There was only 10 months in a year 400 years BC. leap year is in February because it was the last month.

 No don't go just yet we learnt about the sky too. Why is the sky blue you wonder ,well it is blue because of the way the earths atmosphere scatters light from the sun. Thank you for reading my story I hope you have injoyed what I have learnt.

WOW Did you know in 400bc people thought the earth was flat and floated in the air. When they seen the horizon they thought  if you sailed to the line you would full of. So basicly people thought the earth was sqaure.

Letters to supermarket

Room11 have been on the cow and we have been on the letter generator writing to the shops of Invercargill like Pak'n Save,New World and countdown. Most of us were writing to the shops because of the black styro foam because it can not be recycled because it absorbs the blood from the meat and that makes it non recyclable. Which means it will go into the landfill. That is bad because it will be filled in four years. rates ill be very high. We are all hoping that the supermarkets will stop using black Styrofoam meat trays.
