SPACE

Space isn't it interesting? Such an amazing topic, so much to learn and do and sometimes... (really confusing.)
But anyway lets cut to the chase, one of the things that interest me most is the fact that Venus is apparently closer to Earth than Mars! When I was first told this (like a few days ago during our space topic) I was amazed and by the looks of things so does the rest of the class, they're even writing blog posts on it like me!   

Mars's orbit

Venus's orbit

So apparently Venus is 42 million kilometers away from the Earth at its closes point, but 258 million kilometers away from its most distinct point. Mars on the other hand is 56 million kilometers away from its closes point.













































Good Bye!

My Holiday

You may not know where this but this is where my family and I stayed for 3 nights.

This is Martinborough, and just down the main road a wee bit was the cottage we stayed at for 3 nights.

We drove up here by car to this little place by Graytown. It was only 1h and a bit away from our home in wellington. The first few days were practically chilling, having barbecues with family friends and looking at the shops in Graytown and exploring the parks and streets of Martinborough. 

To sum it up it was a great little retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city.

-And to all you who went away on Holiday I hope you had a great time!

See you next time :) 

PRODUCTION EXPERIENCE

Oh look there, it's me in the back!
Dancing in Cantina scene! Yippee what an experience performing in the school production and also, I have a speaking bit in the same scene.

My best Highlights in the production were... Performing in the Cantina scene (with the best dance ever) My speaking bit, face painting other people and looking great in the photo.

It was such a success our little production and turned out really cool!!!

I wish i could still be here for the next production in two years time. If you thought this one was cool, just imagine what it would be like next time in two years time. I can't wait to see!!!  









Well thats it for now !!!!!!!!!! see you next time bye!!!!!!!!!

Kate Sheppard

Kate Sheppard on our New Zealand $10 note

This week we have been learning about Parliament and Election and their functions. but today we had a brief discussion about Kate Sheppard. for our follow up activity. To me she sounded really interesting Kate is on our $10 note and her campaigns made New Zealand the first country in the world to let woman vote in 1893. For most other countries, (including Britain and the United States) eventually let woman vote after world war 1.     

  

    

Good Bye :)

Bye for now!

SPORT

My favorite sport is swimming. Because it is so fun and at training we do some pretty cool stuff like relays at the end of the session, or swims, pulls and kicks, all sorts. Any two sessions are never the same. Also at Tawa (the swim squad i swim in) and (the best squad) definitely not (Karori pirates) We do lots of regular swim meets. 

It is soooooooo much fun, i really enjoy it and nights of training does get payed of cause every swim meet pretty much i get a pb (personal best time) and is cool seeing how much you improve.

Overall swimming is one of the best things that ever happened to me. sometimes i would wonder where i would be if i didn't do swimming. 

Good Bye !!!
