Prizegiving

Thursday the 9th December was the day that prize-giving is on and I was very excited. Because i wanted to see who was the brainiest Yr 7&8. The things that i participated in was Kapa Haka and the Yr 7 item and I really liked Kapa Haka because I was one of the Kias (leaders) and I was a good one to.

Our prize-giving started at 7.00 and finished at 8.30. Our prize-giving was at Pt England School. It was for the Yrs 5-8 students .

I was really happy when I was hearing my friends getting awards but to bad for me I didnt get an award. I wasn't really sad that I didn't get an award because I am getting ready to take out next year and get plenty of awards.

The best thing at prize-giving was the end because I was really tired and thirsty and we walked home in the dark and it was nice and cold.

The Big Day

Sitting there well I was bored I heard the 8 words I WILL BE GIVING YOU YOUR TEST RESULTS and I was really excited because I have been eagerly waiting for my results I was wondering which results I would get I was hoping it was going to be my maths so then I heard maths and then I heard reading.

Yr 7&8 students at Pt England School sat the test and we were getting our test results today we were seeing what our test results were going to be I was hoping that my mark will be higher then the average and we were getting our test results from our teachers.

It was time for the big test results. sitting Camel and relaxed my test results finally came first my maths then my reading my test result were amazing I moved up a lot from the first time of the year (I was really amazed). But I really thought I could of did better but I am still impressed because I am reading is at the right age and my maths is yr 8.

In the end I felt Impressed

My comparison chart of 4 planets.

Task: You need to compare our planet Earth with 3 other planets in our Solar System. Name:

Comparison between Earth and 3 other planets in our Solar System	Earth	Pluto	Neptune	Uranus
Picture of the planet	*	*	*	*
Diameter	12.760 km	2.306 km	49.523 km	51.118 km
Order in our solar system (e.g 3rd planet from the sun)	EARTH - 3rd planet	MARS - 4th planet	JUPITER-5th plante	SATURN-6th plante
This planet is similar to (e.g. Venus) because...	Venus is similar to earth because of the patterns on them.	Pluto looks like the planet Mercy.	Neptune and Uranus are similar because they have beautiful	Uranus and Neptune are one of the futhers planets from the sun.
This planet is different compared to (e.g. Neptune) because...	Earth is closely to the sun then Mars.	Pluto is a dwarf planet and Jupiter is a normal planet	Neptune is cooled then Earth.	Uranus and Saturn are differnt because Saturn has rings around it and it also has 4 Major moons
Number of moons and/or rings:	1 moon	3 moons	1 moons	27 moons
5 - 8 interesting facts about this planet:	1.Earth has life on it. 2.Did you know that Earth has many layers of atmosphere like the mesosphere, ionosphere, exosphere, and the thermosphere? 3.Did you know that most Earth now is sand? 4.Did you know that Earth is not round it is slightly flatterned on the top and bottom poles? 5.Did you know that 1,000 tons of water drip on Earth in 1 year?	1.Did you know that Pluto is a dwarf planet? 2.Did you know that Pluto has a atmosphere even though it is -44 degrees in Pluto. 3.Did you know that Pluto has 3 moons. 4.Did you know that the God of the sea lives on Pluto? 5.Did you know that a 11 yr old girl in England oxford named the planet Pluto? 6.Did you know that Pluto had a different name and it was called Planet X	1.Did you know that Neptune has a similar surface gravity? 2.Did you know that Neptune has the strongest wind in the solar system? 3.Did you know that Neptune is the coldest planet it is -221.4 degrees Celsius? 4.Did you know that the moon Triton (which is Neptune's moon) is colder then Neptune? 5.Did you know that Neptune has only visited once from humans from NASA.	1.Did you know that Uranus is the coldest Planet in our solar system? 2.Did you know that summer on Uranus last 1 long day (47 yrs) 3.Did you know that Uranus has rings around it? 4.Did you know that Uranus has 27 moons? 5 Did you know that Uranus was the first planet to be discovered in the modern age?
Explain why life is possible or not possible on this planet:	I think life is Possibly on earth because i am living here now.	I think that there is life on Pluto because they have 3 moons	I think that there is life on Neptune because they have 1 moon	I think that there is life on Uranus because they have 27 moons

Solar System

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are some of the wondrous of the world. I wonder sometimes how planets were made or how did Jupiter get its rings or what really is the biggest planet?

Well on Wednesday the 2ND of November 2011 we did our little demonstration of how big planets were but instead of using planets we used balloons. Our little experiment showed us many things like Earth is just in the right spot to have the living because if we where to close to the sun
we wouldn't any food or land and if we were to far from the sun we would have any sun at all.

Were was this thing well this thing was at Pt England School the time was during midday the students in room 21 were doing it it was an experiment about space.

We were talking about the Solar System how long it takes Earth to orbit around the sun. It take 1 whole year for to orbit around the sun but for the rest behind it will take Yrs. Why you maybe asking because when it comes to Earth there is a barrier of asteroids that collision together and split into little micro Pieces and float around.

Our teacher picked out some people i heard Brennan then I heard Sharon I wish whispering to myself don't pick me don't pick me then I heard Tevitea’s name and I was saying yes yes until i
heard my name I thought myself oho but I had to go so I went. She was giving out balloons I really wanted the sun but no Sharon then I wanted Mars and guess what I got it.

I thought to myself what will we be doing first well first we did nothing just stood around talk. Then we got called to go outside because we had to fill up our balloons with water but when we got by to our bay it started raining and I was happy. I was singing a joyful song in my head. So we went inside and she told us that we had to blow them up.

We had to stand up in lines in order form Mercury to Pluto and the sun all ways has to be in the middle of the planet so it can keep the planets alive. We found out a few facts like Mars has the biggest Volcano and canyon and that the planets move anti-clockwise. I really learnt a lot of things but the one that I still wonder about is if a giant hand Earth to the Asteroids i wonder how could it because it hand will come right into earth. I really didn't enjoy that activity because it was boring
