Can we live on Mars???

 Hey Bloggers 

We are in Lockdown AWWWW it is ok because you do not have to work has hard and long.

I have a question can you live on mars it is yes or no.

I say no I here is why?

I think we should not move to Mars, even though there will be water on Mars, you will have to bring water, food and appliances  you need to live, but what happens if you run out? Your billion dollar rocket, which was destroyed arrival cannot be used. What happens if there is an emergency and you need the rocket, you will not have it. How will you earn the money so you can pay for the NEW ROCKET?, to build your house and the costs which come with it? 

So now you know why I think we should not move to Mars!

I do not what to live in mars and I hope you agree with me in this.

Next two today later

Today we made ginger beer in class. We did this by activating the yeast first by adding sugar to the yeast, putting some ginger and warm water in a cup together. Once we had done this we put it to the side and left it to ferment while we made the rest of te ginger beer. We made the ginger beer in an ice cream container by adding first the sugar, then the water, some lemon juice and lastly the ginger beer bug. Once everything mixed up we put it in a bottle. It is going to take about 6 days to turn into ginger beer.  Mr Palmer is going to keep it in his office for the next week.
