Auckland Museum

Auckland Museum

What I liked and enjoyed about the Auckland museum was when we went to the library and read some big books and wrote some things on heaps of paper. We had a lot of fun things to do - it was the best time. Some of the people went on the computer and looked on the computer and looked at pictures of butterflies on it.

When we went to the volcano we saw the stone that was lay down on the table where it was and we went inside the House and we watched the news on the TV, there was a volcano that exploded in the sea. After that we went to the bus, to go to our school.      

Chang-O and the Moon

Chang-O and the Moon

Part One: Hou Yi and the Sun Birds: Long time ago,there were ten sun birds that lived in a volcano. Each day, 1 of the sun birds would fly up to the sky and around the world, bringing heat, warmness and light to our planet.One days, the ten birds decided to go out on the same day ten sun birds in the sky made it ten times hotter on Earth.The land was scorched. The rivers and seas were dried up. Animals and crops died in the fields. It felt like the world was about to catch on fire. Something had to be done fast.The Emperor sent a young man named Hou Yi, who was known to be a great archer. “Save us,” said the Emperor. “Shoot down the sun birds”quickly’’ said the Emperor.Hou Yi took ten of his arrows and a huge bow,he walked to the top of a hill. He shot down the sun birds one by one, until there was only one left in the sky. He let the last one go so that it would continue to give light and warmth to Earth. “You have saved the world,” said the Emperor, and he rewarded Hou Yi richly.

Part Two: Hou Yi and the Elixir of Immortality: Hou Yi was known to become a hero.Young men flocked to him. They wanted Hou Yi to teach them to be great archers, too. The Queen of Heaven saw what Hou Yi had done and wanted to reward him. She gave him the Elixir of Immortality and told him, “You deserve to live a long and happy life. If you drink half the elixir, you will live forever. If you drink all of it, you will ascend to Heaven.’’ said the Queen of heaven.Time was  passed. Hou Yi married a beautiful and lovely girl named Chang-O. He told her about the elixir. “We will pick a good day,” he said, “and share the elixir so that we both become immortal. Then we can live a happy life together forever.”

Part Three: Chang-O and the Elixir of Immortality: But one of Hou Yi’s students, Feng Meng, heard what he said for the conversation. Feng Meng wanted to become immortal, too. One day when Hou Yi was out hunting and Chang-O had gone to the market, Feng Meng sneaked into their house. He wanted to steal the elixir of Immortality for himself, but Chang-O arrived back from the market before he could find the elixir of Immortality. “What are you doing here?” said Chang-O  “I want the elixir,” Feng Meng shouted. “Where is it?” Chang-O refused to tell him, but she knew Feng Meng would soon find it. She rushed to the cupboard where it was hidden by her and Hou Yi.’ Chang-O grabbed the bottle, and ran for the door. But she was not quick enough Feng Meng stood in the way of her. Feng Meng was a strong man. Chang-O knew that she could not escape, so to stop him from stealing the elixir, she drank it all herself.

We chose to draw the Sun because the Sun is a symbol of happiness and it gives people light. And it reminds them that after every dark night the Sun comes up.

What happens to people in a Earthquake?

What happen to people in a Earthquake?

When an Earthquake happens there is a loss of life and property.
Sometimes the whole city or buildings can be destroyed.
Reconstruction of the city and buildings can cost millions
of dollars. People sleep in camps for months and months.
There is scarcity of food and water.
People can be dead and some get wounded.
Some people can be lost forever and never see
their family again.For those who lost their loved
one they will never see their loved one again
that is sad. People don’t know if the Earthquake
is going to happen again and that is why they are scared.                                                                                               





                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

What causes Earthquakes?

What causes Earthquakes?

The inside of the Earth is hot and molten soft (liquid). It hardens near the surface as it cools, forming crust. These rocky crust is made of tectonic plates. The plates lock together. The molten rock underneath the plates pushes out in different directions, but the plates resist. sometimes, though, the pressure is so strong that the edges of the plates move. When that
happen, we feel a Earthquake.

EARTHQUAKE.

survey

Today room six did a survey on 24 Maori students. We asked them if they celebrated Matariki. 18 people said  that they do not do anything on Matariki and only one person said that she went out early morning to look at the seven sisters. Two people said that they had a dinner with their family. And there were 3 people said that their had a Barbecue. 

This tells me that Matariki is not a very popular festival, but it is an important festival and so every person in New Zealand should celebrate this festival.

Matariki stars

The Sun

space

Space is everywhere and space is pitch black that's why there is darkness in space. We do not know where space ends which means that space is infinite. Scientists do not know all fact about the space. Light can travel through space but not sound. There is a possibility that there are other suns and solar system out there. There is no oxygen in space that's why the astronauts wear masks in space so they can breath.

The trip to stardome

On my trip to stardome my favourite thing was the movies
to the stardome trip. Because it was very fun and very
amazing and cool. We had our morning tea too after
all those thing in stardome.

Our quiet time book

                    By Janet

Today we read a book that
Mrs Sharma showed us today.
The book was called our quiet
time book. Janet made the book
when she was young.
Now she is 96 years old.
This book is different because
this book is made out of cloth.
This book long lasted 80 years.
The book helped children to learn
how to do things like shoe laces.
Janet was very clever to have
made a book that

has been by every young child
in her family.
