About Stars

When you look at the sky during night you might see many stars. If you are camping in the mountains or the desert away from the cities bright lights you may see thousands of stars. You might even be able to  see a milky way. In a city you can't see as many stars because the city lights are to bright. Their brightness distracts from  the stars. There are different kinds of stars, there are big stars, little stars and also a couple of stars have been found over 100 to 200 times larger then the sun. Some very old stars are smaller then Earth. Scientists study stars and place them in groups based on how they are  alike and how they are different. At the end of stars lives they explode into what is called a Supernova here are some pictures.

Frank Bunce

0n Friday 16 th may Frank Bunce the former All Black came to our school to talk to us about the Westpac fundraising appeal. Also a Westpac helicopter  pilot came to talk to us about `where  he has to go to save people and how long he had been saving people's lives and that they are risking their own lives to rescue people. We also had a man from  Westpac Bank that gave us a Westpac bag and a rugby ball signed by Frank. After that the rippa team got to go do a few passing drills with him and also got a picture. We also got his signature on a piece of paper.

Striving For Accuracy

A couple of weeks ago we drew a picture of when we strove for accuracy. Mine is about when I was playing soccer the first time I kicked the ball I missed,  but the next time round I scored. Here is my picture.

Room 15's Assembly Item

On Friday Room 15 did an item at assembly. For our item we did a play called Once Upon a 100 Years Nap which is about Sleeping Beauty and how her mother in law comes to stay and is not very happy about what is going on. She hires her evil friend Daisy to turn Mr Roberts the butler into a cat, Made Jules the maid into a frog and Sleeping Beauty's friend Sandy man into to a bucket of sand. In the play I was Sandy Man Sleeping Beauty's friend. I was meant to have a meeting with her about the fantastic mattresses that she had made and to hopefully open up a factory. I think that the play was amazing. Here is a video. I hope you like it.
