The cars could reach speeds up to 193 Kilometres per hour.Times are recorded on the computer.

I like this article because it is a racing car story and I like racing cars. I wish I could drive a car myself and I wish it was the fastest car ever.

A Passion for Pony’s  by Donna Cherry

This article is about a girl named Chelsea and her friend Sarah. They both had their own ponies. Chelsea’s pony was called Teddy. She kept Teddy in a paddock that was meant for ponies and horses.

She liked going to the paddock after school to brush her pony so that he can be nice and clean. She liked taking her pony for a ride around the paddock.

Every afternoon Chelsea and Sarah took their ponies over for the low jumps and trotted around the paddock. After that Chelsea  gives him a final brush-down. Then she covers Teddy  with a blanket to keep him warm at night.   

I liked this article because it had interesting words and it had lots of facts about ponies and how to look after ponies.

A Passion For Ponies by Donna Cherry.

This article is about a girl named Chelsea who loved her pony named Teddy. After school Chelsea ran home quickly so she could groom and play with Teddy. Chelsea had a friend named Sarah and she had a pony too. They would play together a lot and groom their ponies together.

Sarah also helped Chelsea groom her pony. Chelsea and Sarah also cleaned up their ponies droppings which looked like small mountains. Sarah loved her pony as much as Chelsea loved Teddy. At the end of the day Chelsea put a warm coat on Teddy so he could be warm and toasty.

If I had a pony I would do the same things that Chelsea and Sarah did I would be as dedicated as they were. I liked the bit about the droppings. It was really funny .

The World of Ferns by Rupert Alchin.

This article is all  about ferns. It tells us about what  they are, where in a bush you find them, what is inside them. The scientific word for fern is Pteridophyte. The  fleshy underground stem of  a fern is called a Rhizome. There are 12,000 species of ferns worldwide. The xylem tissue carries water and the phloem tissue carries food for the plants that it is in. This article has amazing facts about ferns and I recommend that all students who do not know about ferns should read it.
