@FifaSam You're getting there, but there's a detail you're not getting right. Take a look at the glosses for “coin”, “kite” and “tree” and compare them with the one for “cat”. Also checkout the gloss for “star”.
It seems that no one has figured out how to read the text beyond individual signs, or how long vowels and diphthongs work. As I plan to close the jam with the correct translation of the first panel, I'm going to explain these bits below.
All text should be read right to left. As @FifaSam figured out, each block corresponds to a syllable. There's no spacing between words, which makes things more complicated to read.
Long vowels and diphthongs are ligatures of the symbols corresponding to the closest short vowel sounds. For example, the symbols corresponding to the vowels in “red” and “pig” are combined to form the long vowel in “cake”. Similarly, the diphthong in “cow” is made of the short vowels in “cat” and “moon”.
The top part of Panel 6 is the English alphabet read aloud: Ay, bee, see, dee, e, eff, etc. The middle part has voiceless consonants paired with their voiced counterparts. Below are the consonants m, n, n (a mistake in Panel 1, as there's a separate symbol for -ng as in “hang”), l, r, wh, w and y.

@FifaSam I think the ball is supposed to be "red". Also the symbols seem to be read right to left.

@Aluminimalism correct
I wonder how close I am
@Dobby1593 very close. Your consonants are all correct except M, which has a turned K shape (ʞ).

@LocoLuis your language reminds me a lot of Korean and Japanese
that quick beige fox jumped in the air over each thin dog. look out, I shout, for he's foiled you again, creating chaos.
