Hello Faraday! This is the Black Hole Alien group. My classroom is in the Canadian National Marsville Program. Right now my group is working on our mission patch. All the groups must make a mission patch. It represents our group. Everyone has a special space nickname. We will eventually be contacting other schools via email using our space names. Everyone in my group has an important job. These are the special names and jobs: Dylan B - Dark Star - Public Affairs Officer

Brendan - Gizmo-Project Engineer.

Daniel-Alien-Project Manager.

Preston-Halo-Project Scientist.

Samuel-Black Hole- Communication Specialist.

Austin-Time Boy-Timekeeper.

Jon-Supernova-Project Researcher.

Dylan M-Comet- Material Specialist.

Those are the names and jobs. My class really likes the Marsville Project. All the groups must also make a poster. The poster shows what we know about Mars. As a group we did a lot of research. We looked up a lot about Mars. My group has also picked a life support system. We picked transportation. We are having fun. Make sure you check out the website! It has a lot of information about Marsville. Faraday is linked to the website.

Hi there, I’m Jessie and I bet you are wondering what the wacky Grade sixes are up to! Well, if you are on a mission to Mars then you would already know, but if you are not, I’ll tell you all about it. We are getting ready to go on a mission called Marsville. What this means is we are preparing to go to the planet Mars. Well, there are three groups and our group is called the Mars Bars ( yummy,hey)! The people in our group are Jessie, Chelsea, Jennifer, Amanda, Whitney, Nichole, Krista and Jayson.

Well that’s it. We’ll be sure to let you know how Mars is! Bye for now. Shooting Star– Public Affairs Officer

Hi, my name is Space Girl and our team is called Mars Posse.

My team members are:

Thea– Miss Starlight/Communication Specialist,

Bonna-Miss Venus/Project Manager,

Lucy– Sailor Moon/ Project Engineer,

Diane– Astronaut Girl/Time Keeper-Quality Control,

Jessica– Astrocat/Project Scientist,

Ronnel– Flaming Star Boy/Research Analyst,

Jenny-Space Girl/Public Affairs Officer.

We are doing a project about Mars. We researched about Mars. We found out some very interesting things. Our team looked for facts and made a poster called “Marsville 2006”. We put facts about Mars and all our facts are on the big paper poster. We will chose our team name, Mars Posse, because it sounds cool and awesome. We designed an Astronaut patch for the contest. Our patch has a planet of Mars on it. Inside Mars there are 3 planets, some stars, a Canadian maple leaf and a rocket ship. It really looks excellent and cool. It was fun when we worked on the poster and the patch. Our team has chosen the Health and Recreation System for our project. Be sure to check out our website. I hope you like it.
