Recently discovered in RJ’s class… a new planet with a composition unlike any discovered before….

The recently discovered Planet Cheese.
“It’s a planet made of cheese. Cheese grass, cheese trees and cheese houses! It’s a warm planet, but isn’t too close to the sun because otherwise it would melt!”
Apparently, it all started with a ballon, and required a whole lot of “paper massage” before it was finished.

Remember this picture?

... Most of the universe is empty space ...
LR was very excited to receive a package in the mail yesterday from Double Helix magazine. It turns out that her wonderful Solar System picture won her a prize in the competition!

LR and her letter of congratulations.

LR's prize painting is now up on the wall next to her robot picture.

LR won this artist-signed print in the competition.

LR has been working on this one intermittently for a few weeks now.
Well done kiddo!

Some recent artwork by LR. The first was for a school assignment about fairy tales.
The second was for a science competition that she wanted to enter. The small text captions in the image are science facts that she came up with to describe the things in her picture. You can find out more about the artist who’s part of the Helix competition here.

"I like the ending. She has a boy and a girl but the prince has not found her yet."
