Conclusion: 

Today I was working with Keyana, Khaylanie, Anneleise and Janel. The first thing that we did was watch a video. It was about a rover landing on mars in a rocket. We took a look at the rover and what it looked like. We than had to draw what it looked like and we had to have detail on it.I have learnt more than ever from mars. Something that I am really amazed about is learning about the length of one year and the length of one day.
