Hi viewers!
Tonight I made a pixel art for Matariki!
The hard part was making the grid cells even. The fun part was colouring the cells, take a look!
My art is two girls flying their kites on matariki!
Bye everyone.

Today I will be sharing some astonishing facts about the stars. I found it quite confusing to learn about the stars because I dont really know there role in the sky or what they’re even made of.
It was really fun to learn what a shooting star is really made of.
Here are some interesting facts, I hope you learn something new!
1. Did you know that the sun is actually not the biggest star? There are way bigger stars than the sun, in the constellation Orion, on his knee is a blue super giant star called Rigel. This star is 2 times hotter and x70 bigger!
2. The stars have different colours, blue, white, red and orange. Did you know that the blue stars are the hottest stars and the red stars are the coolest! A good example is when using a gas stove the blue fire is hotter than the orange\red fire.
3. Did you know that the stars are made of helium and hydrogen just like the sun.
4. The Proxima Centauri is the closest star to the sun and this star is a red dwarf.
5. The stars can have different sizes and colours which is why they are called “red dwarfs” or “blue supergiants”.
1. Shooting stars aren’t actually stars because stars are made of gasses which means it cant be a falling rock.
2. Shooting stars are actually small particles of a comet, asteroid or a meteoroid that shoots down into Earth’s atmosphere.
3. Earths gravitational force pulls the particles and they go through Earths atmosphere.
4. In some cases the particle can turn into dust. In other cases they can turn into a fireball and shower down on Earth called a meteor shower.

Today our class had to research through websites about the sun. It was very easy to do, the fun part was adding all the pictures.
I found it a bit hard to find some interesting factsย about the sun with limited websites.
I made a slideshow answering some questions, I really hope you all learn something new!

Today my class had to write 3 things that we would take into space.
I picked three things then our teacher told us that we had to write explanations on why we would bring them. My favourite part was writing the explanations on why I would bring water. The process that was very hard was finding ideas on my text on why I would bring a special spacesuit other than just writing for protection.
Take a look at my explanation writing! โฌ
I am going to tell you the three things you must bring into space! You need to bring something into space otherwise you won’t survive! You need many things, but I will point out the main three ones.
First of all, you absolutely can not survive without any water because of the low oxygen supply in the spaceship! It also won’t be a matter of minutes until you start feeling dehydrated and nauseous. You also need it for other things like cleaning space gear and yourself. I would use water because maybe I have to stay a long time in space and I need to clean myself because some people stay for long periods of time in space. I would also use water because I might get my gear dirty on a planet and I can’t bring it in the spaceship.
Secondly, you absolutely need to bring a special space suit. You need to protect yourself on different chilly cold planets and scorching hot ones! Also it provides oxygen while you’re in space. Space suits also provide protection from harmful gases floating in the atmosphere. I would bring one so that I can walk around, explore and take samples.
Lastly, I think you should bring a camera. You can take amazing pictures, show family and friends and even more! Imagine being the first person to land on a planet, even better, you have some photos of different views on the planet! You just made history forever in that case.ย You might also discover something odd and mysterious about the planet and take a picture.
That is my point of view, because who wouldn’t want to drink water, have a safe suit and create history on a planet? I think that if I had to bring 3 things I would bring these three.

Today we had to write summaries of different Moon stories we looked at and compare them the 2 others.
The fun part was when I watched the stories. The part I disliked was when I had to write a summary.
Okay bye guys! take a look at my comparison!

Last week it was Samoan language week so I made a test so you can learn some Samoan fruits and vegetables.I put together a slideshow so that you can pick which ones.
the only rule is you can’t Google or go take a look at the info center. However if you do, it wont be fun it will only be cheating.
Okay you all, I hope you enjoy! Have fun everyone.
Last week on Wednesday the hail was so much. It hailed for about 2 minutes until it stopped. It was very cool for our class to see all the hail pop up because it doesn’t snow where we are.
There were so many piles, Our teachers let us go in the hail it was awesome. Everyone was throwing hail around and checking around the school. After that our teacher showed us videos about how hail forms.
Hail forms when there is a thunderstorm. First the water goes up in a cloud and because of the freezing temperatures the water turns into ice as it goes up different ice attaches to the hail and then it gets to heavy to be held up so it all comes down as hail.

Today we had to study some stuff about the Moon, we got whiteboards and wrote some keywords that would help us make sentences of the Moon.
I am here to tell you what I know about the Moon.
The Moon is a big rock floating in the sky. The hard part was to find some keywords about the Moon and the fun part was learning about what orbits.
Bye every one! Come back for more next time!!

Last week on Thursday two Nano girls came to show us some cool chemistry experiments. Their names were, “Debbiesaurus” and “Tornado Tammy”.
They taught us about the different chemicals and what will happen if you mix them together.
Experiment no.1 – Cloth experiment
This experiment was with a cloth and a type of chemical liquid that doesn’t burn. First Debbiesaurus dipped the cloth into the chemical which causes the cloth to not burn when she turned the lighter on the cloth wasn’t burning only the chemical had fire spreading on it.
Experiment no.2 – Pancake experiment
For this experiment Tornado Tammy would explain that making pancakes is an experiment. The reason is because almost everything in the world is a chemical or contains chemicals! We even contain a chemical called “hydrochloric acid” inside our stomach that helps us digest our food. Anyways, two volunteers went onto the stage and helped Debbiesaurus make the pancakes. Pancakes include the chemical Milk and eggs, which contain a type of protein and the milk contains a natural sugar. When the pancake was done they squirted lemon juice on the top which is an acid.
Experiment no.3 – Testing the acidity of different acids ( Lemon juice & Baking soda )ย
This experiment was to test the acidity of the acids or products we are using. First they poured an acid\pH indicator in 3 jars, the indicator is purple and it will change to tell the acidity. Debbiesaurus poured lemon juice in one jar and baking soda in the other. The baking soda one turned blue and the lemon juice one turned red. Did you know that you can change the colour back to purple by adding some special chemical to wipe out the acid.
Experiment no.4 – Fireworks experiment
This experiment was testing what creates the colour of fireworks. Debbiesaurus got a flamethrower and Tornado Tammy was spraying flammable, flammable means something that can catch fire chemicals inside of the flamethrower.ย That created different colors.
My favourite one was the firework one because of the colors.
After that we had to go back to class. Bye viewers!!
Today we had to answer some questions about the Moon.
The hard part was figuring out question 6.
The fun part was when I put all the information together.
Bye everyone, I hope you learn something new!
