Active and passive voice

In Room 10 and 11, we have been learning how to write in the passive voice. Passive voice is how we usually write our explanation texts.
Here are some examples:
Harry ate six shrimp at dinner. (active)
At dinner, six shrimp were eaten by Harry. (passive)
Beautiful giraffes roam the savannah. (active)
The savannah is roamed by beautiful giraffes. (passive)
Sue changed the flat tire. (active)
The flat tire was changed by Sue. (passive)

Now it is your turn, write the passive voice sentences in the Padlet or comments below.

A hobo bear climbed Mount Everest (active)
The bears ate the Gummi Bears (active)
The girls think netball is better than football (active)
We are going to bake some cookies (active)
A meteor wiped out the dinosaurs (active)
