Assembly

Last Friday it was assembly. My spine was chilling and I had butterfly's in my stomach. The outfits were crazy cool. We all had white coats and a brain crown. I got to read about cancer the crab. First we had to stand up for the national anthem. Aaoteroa......... After that the hosts tolled there names and our class names. Some time it was Joseph and Libby's turn. They talked about Scorpio and Eva talked about Leo the lion. Finally it was my turn. I felt proud of myself speaking in front of the whole school and some parents. After the assembly we put on the duck song. When the duck walked up to the lemonade stand and he said to the man right at the stand........ The end

Planet facts

Sun. Without the sun, animals and plants can't survive. The sun gives us life. The word sun comes from the word Sol (Sahl). Sol was the name of the Roman sun god. Mercury. Mercury is like our moon because it's covered in craters. One day of mercury ( 1 rotation) takes 59 earth days. Venus. Venus is almost the same size as earth. Venus has an atmosphere full of piosienes gases. It's clouds contain a chemical strong enough to dissolve metal and the clouds on Venus are so thick that cameras can't see the planet surface. Earth. Earth is the only watery planet in the solar system. More then to thirds of earth's surface is covered in water. It takes 365 days for earth to orbit the sun once. Mars. It is known as the red planet because it has a reddish tint. Mars is about half as wide across earth. Mars is the fourth planet from the sun. Jupiter. Jupiter is the biggest planet in the solar system. It would take mor then 1,000 to fill up Jupiter. Jupiter's surface is made of thick red, brown, yellow and white clouds. The Great Red Spot can be seen on the lower right side. Saturn. Saturn has 7 thin, flats ring made of small pieces of ice. Saturn has 7 major major rings and many ringlets. Saturn's rings are made of billions of pieces of ice and rock from tiny specks to very large "moonlets". Uranus. Uranus is a blue-green planet nearly for times as wide as earth. It is the 7th planet from the sun. Uranus is sourrounded by faint at a least 27 moons! Neptune. You cannot see Neptune with a telescope. It orbits the sun about every 165 years! Neptune is the same size as Uranus and is about 4 times as wide across earth.

Charlottes web cake by Max

Yesterday Max brought this mouth watering cake into class. You know why it's got a spider on it? Because we've been reading charlottes web. While we were reading charlottes web some people came out and gave the cake to the class. I loved the cake melting in my mouth. The icing was perfect. It was a really good cake.

The legend of the moon

Long, long ago Henry and Josh hated the huge boulder blocking the sunlight. So then they went to the forest to see Tāne. So they brought him to the boulder and asked him to push it into the sky. So Tāne pushed with all his might and then he sadly said I can't push it into the sky. Then they went and got Hercules. They brought him to the boulder. Hercules pushed and pushed with all his might then Zeus came and pushed it into the sky. Now that's how the moon became the moon. The end

Planet Earth & Beyond - Pre Assessment

I think I'm going ok with shadows. I'm not a science person. I'm feeling happy with my work.

Charlotte's web

First we started on the walls. We made it out of bricks. It took about 3 days to finish it. Next we started on the roof. It was the hardest part. We had to keep placing the brick down then we had to place down the wooden stairs. Then the decorating. Up stairs there's plants. Down stairs there's animals. At the back of the barn there's animals. Chickens, pigs, cows, ocelots and dogs. Hope you like it.
