Reading T3 W7

  For week's 6 to 9 my hub are doing a novel study and each week we would get a different task to do. To be honest this one was hard like difficulty hard but I still got it done. I don't know why it took me so long for me to finish my work I just had a lot of other stuff to do. Any ways here is my work.

Reading T3 W9

   This week for our Novel study we had to find at least one main idea and justify why it is important. The task wasn't that hard like last week's task. Anyways I don't have that much to say about this so here is my reading for this week.

Here is the task.

Have you ever read one of the Artemis Fowl books?

Maths T3 W8

Hi! Welcome back to another post today and i will be talking about my maths with you. So for Maths this week we got given 4 or 5 questions and we had to solve with a Maths buddy. We had one create task to get the task done. When we finish the questions you and you're buddy share it in front of the whole group. When you share your Maths 1 person writes the question down and the other one is explaining. We needed to solve decimals and/or fraction. Sorry I don't have a photo of it but I'll do another blog to let you guys know when I get the picture/photo. 

Do you like maths?

Writing T3 W8

  This week for writing we needed to make an infographic about one of the 4 goals and I did my one on world hunger. You might remember back in term 2 we also needed to make a infographic about something. Like last time I used canva to make my infographic. So here is my infographic about zero hunger. 

Did you know these stuff? If you did, write in the comments!

Artemis Fowl

  For Reading this week we Are still reading our novel this is my task for this week:

Have you ever read Artemis Fowl? (Pls comment(to tell me))

How to be a good math mate

  In our math workshops we have been trying to answer the question 'How can we be a good math mate?' but before I get into that I should talk about what a math mate is. So basically in our math workshops we have been learning about math mates, a math mate is a person you get paired up with to complete the math questions for the week. I also think it's a team effort, that both people should be playing their part in the math tasks. The two math mates has to have the exact same thing in their math book. Now that we have stated what a math mate is now we will find out what a good math mate is. I think a good math mate is a team that works together to complete the task they also have a stable understanding of what the task is. I also think that a math mate is a reliable work that always can lend a helping to those who need it. They also play their part in the questions. 

What have you experiences been with a math mate? have they been good or not?

 hi, I will be showing you what I wrote about a video clip called "Pip". Here is the link to it, hope you like it! Have you watched Pip?

Math DLO blog

 Hello reader again, today I will be talking to you about my Math DLO, and also what it means to be a good Math buddy. So for my math DLO, I just have to answer the question in this blog. To be a good math mate, you work efficiently with your math buddy to answer the questions and equations correctly and you respect your buddy and be kind too. For the math workshops, I just had to answer the equations organized by the teacher, so that's what is happening with my math workshop. That is all for now, see you later.

Reading

 I read a book called Artemis fowls and I will be sharing you with my work.

 In the first book, Artemis Fowl, twelve-year-old genius Artemis Fowl kidnaps Holly Short, a Fairy and a captain of the Lower Elements Police Reconnaissance force (LEPRecon). He holds her for a ransom of gold to exploit the magical Fairy People and restore his family's fortune. In the sequel, Artemis Fowl and the Arctic Incident, he reluctantly allies with the People to rescue his father from the Russian mafia. The series introduces Artemis as a villain and the Fairies' enemy, but as the series progresses, Artemis's character develops and changes; as an antihero, he assists the People in resolving conflicts with worldwide ramifications. The original series concluded with Artemis Fowl and the Last Guardian.

Artemis Fowl is the first book in the Artemis Fowl series. It follows the adventures of Artemis Fowl, a 12 year-old criminal mastermind, as he kidnaps a fairy for a large ransom of gold with the help of his bodyguard, Domovoi Butler, and his younger sister, Juliet Butler, to restore the Fowl family fortune. After multiple attempts by the Lower Elements Police (LEP) fairy police, including sending a criminal dwarf called Mulch Diggums, it concludes with Artemis finally releasing Holly Short, the elf fairy, whom he kidnapped, and having his mother cured of madness (in exchange for half of the gold that he had stolen from the fairies).

 Hi, this week's goal for maths is to use multiplication and division strategies to compare fraction sizes with whole numbers.We have to work with or pick a (what we call) mathmate. Usually groups are only allowed 2, but my group worked as a three. (you see what I'm doing, right)？Anyways, we were doing hard but interesting fractions (i think I need a little more help on that) and a little bit of Mult/Div in there. Bye! (Pls comment)

 Hi, this week for writing I did zero hunger and we have to write some: Rhetorical Questions, Stats, Problems and Solution. We had to read a text to write what we learned. Here is my link to my work.

Bye!

Reading T3 W3

Hi, this week for reading this week, we had to choose a text to read. I'll tell you what reading actually means. "Reading" is the process of looking at a series of written symbols and getting meaning from them. Reading is a receptive skill - through it we receive information. But the complex process of reading also requires the skill of speaking, so that we can pronounce the words that we read.  Here is my link to my work. See ya!

Writing T3 W3

Hi. My goal is: ZERO HUNGER. My work is very interesting and it's very cool (no lie). We had to do a speech about it in our next assembly. Here is the link to my work and it is very interesting and very coooooooool. (I like it so much). (comment pls) Thanks!

Writing T3 W2

Hi! We did a story about "Hansel & Gretel".  If you heard about the story, you might be a expert at the writing I'm doing. I did a short paragraph but it has loads of details in it. Our goal is to use metaphors, spelling and alliteration. I didn't use all of the goals, but I did my best. Here is the link to my work.

Maths T2 W1

Hi, I'm going to tell you all about ratios today. Firstly though, I need to tell you about my work in detail. So, I did ratios on the sprocket and the pedal gear which is on a bike so that the bike can move. There were two questions and 1 question has 3 mini question IN both of them (I think). I will show you my awesome but educational maths work (on ratios). A ratio between two or more quantities is a way of measuring their sizes compared to each other. For example, if a school has 20 teachers and 500 pupils then the ratio of teachers to students is written as 20:500 (read as "20 to 500"). It can be written two ways; for example, 1:10 or 1/10. Equivalent ratios (which are, in effect, equivalent fractions) are two ratios that express the same relationship between numbers. We can create equivalent ratios by multiplying or dividing both the numerator and denominator of a given ratio by the same number. And as we know, if we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by similar non-zero real quantities, their ratio will never change. It can be written as (5n)/(7n), where n a non-zero real number. A ratio shows how much of one thing there is compared to another. Ratios are usually written in the form a:b. If you are making orange squash and you mix one part orange to four parts water, then the ratio of orange to water will be 1:4. The order in which a ratio is stated is important. 

Ok, enough information (I hope) and I'm finally ready to show you my work this week!

Here it is.

Have you like, ever, ever (ever, ever) done ratios before?
I would really, really, really (really, really, really) like it if you comment!!!
Thanks so, so, so much!

Maths T3 W2

Hi, this week I did something called Mass. Just about anything in mathematics can be a basic fact. The main ones encountered are the whole-number basic facts, and in particular addition and multiplication, and their close cousins subtraction and division. Maths is kind of easy for me and it really helps my brain to think very well in tests. People in every country use maths and all its branches. So, wherever you go, you will find people using it. Mass is a measure of how much matter is in an object. Mass is commonly measured by how much something weighs. But weight is caused by gravity, so your weight on the Moon is less than here on Earth, while the mass stays the same. Mass is measured in grams, kilograms and, tonnes (Metric) or ounces and pounds (US units).Mass is a measure of how much matter is in an object. Mass is commonly measured by how much something weighs. But weight is caused by gravity, so your weight on the Moon is less than here on Earth, while the mass stays the same. Mass is measured in grams, kilograms and, tonnes (Metric) or ounces and pounds (US units). A measure of how much matter is in an object. This gold bar is quite small but has a mass of 1 kilogram (about 2.2 pounds), so it contains a lot of matter. Mass is commonly measured by how much something weighs. Mass measures the amount of matter in an object (anything you can physically touch). Basically, mass is a measurement of the number of atoms in an object. Mass is typically measured in kilograms or grams. Weight measures the force of gravity pulling on an object. Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter something contains, while Weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object. 2) Mass is measured by using a balance comparing a known amount of matter to an unknown amount of matter. Weight is measured on a scale. Here is my work.

Hi for reading this week we did positive or negative. We had to do the FANTASTICs and maybe next week we will do the BOOMTASTICs. I will put my work on this blog.

 Did you do a writing similar to this?

Writing T2 W10

 Hi (and welcome), for writing this term we have been doing the hard hitting statistics (hmm, sounds interesting, doesn't it?) I am doing ZERO HUNGER for my speech and here is the link to the information. Here is my FAVOURITE (i hope you don't get TOO excited because it is exciting... Wait, that doesn't make sense!) part of my writing↴

"Did you know that there are 795 million people that are hungry in the world today, and that by 2050, that number is expected to reach 2 billion. After decades of steady decline, the number of people who suffer from hunger as measured by the prevalence of undernourishment began to slowly increase again in 2015. Current estimates show that nearly 690 million people are hungry, or 8.9 percent of the world population, up by 10 million people in one year and by nearly 60 million in five years and, yeah."

Writing

Hi everyone! I'm going to show you what my group did for writing this week. We had to choose a story from our teacher. I chose Creature from the deep. I chose it because I like to learn about living stuff that relates to animals. Anyway, I will show you my awesome but interesting with lots and lots of stuff in it! We kind of did some narrative writing in here, too. It is kind of complicated. It is a made up story but we have to be writing about the creature that's in the picture. I used a website called pobble, here it is!

Isn't it amazing?

Did you do this awesome (but interesting) writing that's similar to this. 

Reading T3 W1

Hi, this week for reading we learned about analysing texts. PS: I haven't been doing blogs for so long that I don't really know where to start! Anyway, back to reading, we used the FANTASTICs. It stands for: Feeling,  Asking, Noticing, Touching, Action, Smelling, Tasting, Imagining, Checking. Here is my work!

Have you ever analyzed a text before?

Maori Conversations

Hi! I'm doing Maori conversations this week and we had to do a DLO of how we did it.  Why is it important? Māori language is a central component of Māori culture, and an important aspect of participation and identity. It also forms part of the broader cultural identity and heritage of New Zealand. In 1987, the Māori language was recognised as an official New Zealand language. You can also do it by what I call: "Learn it and speak it". Here is the link to my work, hope you like it ;)

Writing T3 W2

Hi! This week on writing we are focusing on narratives. Just so you know, narratives are powerful because Telling stories is one of the most powerful means that leaders have to influence, teach, and inspire. What makes storytelling so effective for learning? For starters, storytelling forges connections among people, and between people and ideas. Stories convey the culture, history, and values that unite people. Narratives are important because Narratives are used to educate and entertain young children as well as adults. Children at a young age experience many narratives and stories during their early years of pre-school and primary school. Narratives are used as a form of important lessons. Reading narratives can be a past time used to help relax the mind. It also helps your thinking! I love writing like authors do. I hope that everyone who reads this blog might like reading mostly like me (who loves writing). I highly recommend better writers do harder writing. Narration means the art of storytelling, and the purpose of narrative writing is to tell stories. Any time you tell a story to a friend or family member about an event or incident in your day, you engage in a form of narration. Narrative structure is a literary element generally described as the structural framework that underlies the order and manner in which a narrative is presented to a reader, listener, or viewer. The narrative text structures are the plot and the setting. A good personal narrative uses narrative techniques such as dialogue, description, and pacing to tell the events and show the character's responses to the things that happened. Dialogue is the actual words someone spoke. Dialogue shows thoughts and feelings. 

Reading T2 W4

Hello everyone! I'm going to tell you what I did for reading this week. We had to read a book online that the teachers gave us and then we have to writing a plan then we will do a slide of what happened in the book which is called: Creatures From The Deep. It had really fun texts and paragraphs. The volume of it was really high as it's a read to me book but it's a long one. I like maths, writing and reading at the same time! Here is the link to my best work from my reading this week!! Reading is interesting sometimes and other times it's just dull and boring. Hope you like it! This is reading facts: Reading exposes people to new words. By learning new words, people develop deeper understanding of their language and how to use it. For people learning English (including children and adults), books will help them to not only learn new words but understand how to use them. The first I was reading a book, I thought it was boring but when I read more, I just kind of get use to it. Reading helps your brain grow. Why is reading important? Reading is important because it develops the mind. Understanding the written word is one way the mind grows in its ability. Teaching young children to read helps them develop their language skills. It also helps them learn to listen. Audio books also helps you imagine stuff. Thanks! See you in my next blog!!!

Narrative Writing Rubric

Hi! I will show you today of what Kaupeka (year 7/8) have to do. It's a writing rubric that you have to fill out. We have to do everything the rubric tells us to do and we have to make a plan that goes with the story. I kind of like doing rubrics because I like stuff with lots of questions and rules so you don't mess up. I will give you the link to my narrative writing rubric. In a narrative, you have to concentrate more on more stuff. I'll tell you a fact about a narrative that will help you when you are writing one, here it is: Narrative writing must tell a story. Fiction is writing that is imagined and not based on real events. Nonfiction is based on real events and could be narrative writing. Characteristics of narrative writing include characters, plot, conflict, setting, and point of view. I really like writing stories, poems, S.S.W (Sustained Silent Writing or Super Silent Writing), war stories, comics and writing about a movie. 

Do you like writing as much as I do?

KP1 Writing - Piper

Hello! This week we had to write 2 chunks and it has to be 9 sentences for each chunk we're writing. We watched a video called: Piper. It was about a little bird that apparently called Piper and the bird type is called Sandpiper. Piper's mum went to find food and the rest of the story is in this link. If you like my story or work, be sure to let me know in the comments below! Best if you comment, I love to read them!😀

Plurals & Suffixes

Hi everybody! Today, I'll be showing you how plurals and suffixes work on a slide which is just 4 slides but don't worry, it has a lot of details in it and I gave you some examples. So, first, plurals and suffixes is just to form in English, just add the suffix "s" to the noun. For example, oranges, pens, boards, etc. The correct plurals usually depends on what letter the singular noun ends in. To make regular nouns plural, add "s", "ss", "sh", "ch", "x" or "z", add "es" to the end to make it a plural. I hope that explains it all, but look in my slide for deeper information about it. Here is the link to my slide to all the info you need.

Hope you like it!

Writing T2 W9 - Lost & Found

Hi everyone! Our group needed to watch a video to go with the story we're writing about. The video was pretty sad and doesn't have a happy ending. Here's the link to the video we are writing about. After the video, we needed to choose two chunks, there were nine chunks to choose from. Each chunk has to be nine sentences with action words, alliteration and inner thought. I did two chunks, with those challenges (action words, alliteration and inner thought) and I wrote nine sentences, but my first chunk was a bit long. My second chunk was shorter than he first one. 

Here is the screenshot of my work, hope you enjoy it!

Rounding and compensating

Hi everyone! Today I'm going to tell you how I do my rounding and compensating. I'm going to show you my work later on with the link attached to this post. So, I think you all know about how to do rounding and compensating but for those who don't know, I'll explain it. So, In rounding and compensation, numbers are rounded to the nearest tidy number like 10, 20, 100, or 150 and then added. The answer is adjusted according to whether the numbers were rounded up or down. So that hopefully will help you with your maths! Here is my link to my slide/work!

Reading task

Hello! Welcome back! I will be showing you my reading for this week. We had to read a text and there's 4 to choose from, 2 texts were level 3 and the other 2 were level 4. I picked a level 4 one and the title was: Return Of The Moa. We all had to make a copy of the template we're going to write things on. The template says you had to take a screenshot of the cover and two screenshots for the paragraphs you find really interesting. Then there's questions you need to answer. The first two questions are the questions you predict what's going to happen in the text and that of course is answering before reading.

Here is the Link to my Return Of The Moa template.

So, I was reading a book called return of the Moa which is a level 4 text, it was a long text but I managed to get there at the end. We were separated in 4 groups which is with different teachers. Our group did a task called 321 on a Google Meet. We made a copy of a doc, slide or drawing. I did a drawing which is easy because all you need to do was just add a background and text boxes. Your probably wondering what 321 stands for, I' going to tell you now!
3 stands for 3 facts you found out.

Narrative Writing

Hi everyone! It's been such a long time since my last blog and I'm looking forward to writing this blog! So, this week in writing, we needed to do a Narrative writing. A Narrative writing is a writing that has a story, characters, conflict, and other essential parts of the story. Narrative is often synonymous with a story and this differs greatly compared to other forms of writing like in textbooks and certain nonfiction books. I hope now that you know what a Narrative writing is!!!

Maths (Standard Written Form)

Hi guys! Today, I'm going to show you how I do my Standard Written Form. I'm going to show you it at the end.

Standard Written Forms are really easy and fun at the same time! The reason I like Standard Written Form is that you don't have to do a lot of writing and all you do is just know your additions and subtractions so it's very easy for me but of course not all of you! We have to do 6 questions, 3 of them was a 4 digit number which is obviously in the thousands place and the other 3 was decimals. Decimals does seem hard, but when you do it for real, you'll find it really easy. I like maths but on a scale from 1 to 10, I'm about 7.

Here's the 6 questions I did

I hoped you liked it and I hope you find it helpful!

Drawing with Jamie Smart

Hello! Today I'll be showing you what I drew with Jamie Smart! As you may have seen my other blog that I drew with Jamie Smart and I drew Pip. Today I'm drawing Bop and I'll be showing you my drawing.

I'm going to tell you a bit more about Bop. Bop is very strong. He can even lift a elephant! Bop is not sleepy or lazy like Mip. He is usually the first to get up in the morning and second to go to sleep (Pip is the first to go to sleep). I really like Bop because he's strong and clever but not as clever as Pip. Once Bop saved a star from falling down onto the ground!!! I also like him because he also can climb up slippery walls without any help by his friends which is surprising!!!
So, here's my drawing of Bop

My Easter house

Welcome back guys! Yesterday my family decorated our house with Easter stuff including a Pikachu and Chamander holding a Easter egg!

We printed out some Easter eggs and then we used felt tip pens to color them in different colors. We also did Poke ball shape eggs with the Poke ball designs on it. I put the ones I like best in my room and the others in the living room, bedrooms (not mine), windows, doors, garage, closets, ceilings and on my guitar!!! We cutted out 39 eggs and 3 Pikacus. When we were decorating, I found some chocolate eggs under my bed which is great!

After we decorated our house, we had a big family Easter lunch together in our backyard. We set up a table on the grass so it's not so slippery like on our concrete because dad just finished washing the car so the concrete is all wet! After that, I was so full that I have to lie on the sofa for 10 minutes! Everyone was exhausted and very sleepy. I wasn't... I was just a little full!!!

I had so much fun decorating the house and having a Easter lunch as a family.

Have you been decorating the house with Easter eggs or anything that's about Easter? What kind of Easter crafts did you put in your house there? Tell me in the comments below!

A Easter hunt I've been on

Hi everyone! Today, I'll be talking about a Easter hunt I've been on. I was so excited and happy for Easter!

I had a Easter hunt this year and I had lots of fun. So here's what happened. I was so excited for Easter and mum hid all the eggs and all my family was trying to find them. Mum hid them in the bushes and in trees in our front yard and backyard! My back and front yard are huge so it's pretty hard to find and my mum most of the eggs in the places I don't really know! My mum said whoever is first, they get a Picnic and a Kit Kat bar! That was awesome!

I was trying very hard for those two chocolate bars! But at last, I found most of the eggs and so far I've got a rainbow colored ones, golden ones and silver ones. Mum hid 35 eggs an I found 17 eggs which is a very big achievement for me. My dad got 13 which is the number of eggs I got last year and my dad did it the first time so it's very good. My two grandmas got 5 which is a big achievement for them because last year, they only got 3 (they get the same amount because they work together). My two grandpas got 2 each (not bad for them). Mum was watching us find them!!! This year I think is a fun Easter hunt with my family. I was very happy when I got the most eggs because I won a chocolate bar from our house.

I had loads of fun doing a Easter hunt with my family.

How many Easter eggs have you found? Tell me in the comments below! Goodbye.

Drawing with Jamie Smart

Hello everyone! Today I'm going to show you my drawing, tell you a bit more about the author and tell you a bit about his book called "Pip Lop Mip Bop". I did my drawing on "Pip Lop Mip Bop". I'm also going to tell you about what books he write.

What I'm curious about

Hi! As we know there's a lot of things in the world that people are interested in and would like to discover them. Today I'm going write down a list to tell you what I'm curious about.
List:
1. What does Mars look like?
2. Are there dinosaurs that's still existing?
3. How did people figure out how to build LEGO?
4. How is money made?
5. How much planets are there in space?
6. Is there such thing as a sea monster?

I'm going to pick one and tell you how I'm going to find the information I need. Here it is: Are there dinosaurs that's still existing? Maybe I'll be a scientist when I grow up and learn all about dinosaurs and knowing if they still exist. And if they do exist, I'll find out what kind of dinosaurs are on earth and what they eat, do and where they live. I'm also going to figure out if they are herbivores, carnivores or omnivores.

I like dinosaurs but the thing is, I don't really know about dinosaurs that much but if I'll be a scientist one day, I'll know almost everything about dinosaurs and what they like. I'll use their fossil to investigate them and if I'm lucky, I might even go to the place where they live and find one of them (only if they exist on earth).

What things are you curious about? What will you do to find out the answer?

Zoos:Good or Bad?

Hi everyone! Today I'm going to tell you if zoos are good or bad. So, my what I think is that zoos are good because they have a lot of advantage comparing seeing animals in the wild.

People can see what animals are doing and sometimes seeing rare animals that you maybe never know about! In zoos, you can watch animals do something surprising or something unusual unlike in the wild, they hide away from people and other things that they think that's going to hurt them.

The other good thing about the zoo is that it helps endangered species for example like: tigers, rhinos, elephants, gorillas, water buffalos, vaquitas, etc. Zoos also use SSPs as research tools to better understand wildlife biology and population dynamics.

Facts you may have not heard
1. There are only 8 vaquitas left on earth.
2. There are only 100-130 white tigers on earth.
3. Elephants eat between 149 and 169 kg per day.
4. There are only 1,114 giant pandas on earth.
5. Six species saved from extinction by zoos.

Do you think zoos are good for animals?

My favourite board game

Hello! Today, I'm talking about board games! There are lots of board games, they are: Monopoly, Checkers, Chess, Battle Ship, Connect 4 and Guess Who. But today I'll be talking about connect 4, because it's fun and it's my favorite board game.

Connect 4 makes you creative and they also make you great and creative thinkers because you need to think while you do it for example: you might be thinking "will that person block me?" or "where will I put this to connect four?"

You should also think earlier and all-sided before you put it in because if you don't think earlier or all-sided, you might lose the game or maybe no one will win! If you think early or think all-sided, I have a 90% chance that you will win the game.

Playing this board game can cultivate your patience. When you play, you can't be too loud because you can't concentrate well or think well so you probably have a 50/50 chance of winning and not a 90% chance of winning!

Foster friendship between you and your mate/family. You could understand each other and following the rules to make the game more fair and fun. Then you can spend wonderful time with your friends and family.

What I like about connect 4 is that it makes you feel relaxed and fun! I would recommend this game to anyone that's a huge fan to Connect 4.

What's your favorite board game and why do you like it?

Poem about a picture

Hi guys, here is a poem I wrote and it's about a time when I was in Auckland in Rainbows End.
Title: Rainbows End
Here is the poem:
A sunny Autumn day,
there is no rain for the whole day,
it was a cool day,
me and my dad thought it's going to be awesome.
We're going to Rainbows End,
we went in Rainbows End and it looks interesting,
we got on the bumper boats,
we went on a log that's on water,
we went on a train-like thing that goes over a short mountain,
we got on a moving but fake car,
me and my dad went on a fast but fake racing car.
me and my dad had three chocolate chip cookies and a can of L&P for lunch,
we went into a maze after lunch,
we took photos of me with people in Rainbows End dressed in costumes,
I had lots of fun and it's a wonderful day.
What's your poem about and why did you choose it?

Scavenger Hunt

Hi everyone! As we all know, the Covid-19 is already in NZ right now, right? The Covid-19 Lockdown means that no one is allowed to go anywhere(Except if your having exercise or going to buy what you must need). Let's start! So, my mum is going to the supermarket, and we did a scavenger hunt in the backyard. I put on some red paper slip, face mask, gloves. If she finds them all, she can go to the supermarket. The reason I did that is because of the Covid-19. It spreads the germs by people spitting, coughing, sneezing, meeting people, etc. Remember!! 2 METRES AWAY OR 6 FEET AWAY, okay? The places I hid those red slips, were very hard to find, but at last, it takes my mum 30 minutes to find it! I had fun. It protects yourselves and other people.

Did you do a scavenger hunt? Do you like scavenger hunts? Tell me in the comments below!

Stars

How many stars are in space?
About how many stars in space? Answer 1: There are about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars in space, or about 10 raised to the 21 power, roughly

Are stars bigger than the earth?
Yes. Normal stars are range to the size of Jupiter (about 10 times the radius of the Earth) through stars like our Sun (100 times the radius of the Earth) to the most massive stars (maybe 700 times the radius of the Earth). Dying stars tend to puff up.

Facts about Ceres

What does the surface of Ceres like?

The surface is a mixture of water ice and various Hydrated minerals such as carbonates and clay. Cryovocanoes such as Ahuna Mons form at the rate of about one every fifty million years. In January 2014, emissions of water vapor were detected from several regions of Ceres

From the Sun to Ceres, how many kilometers are there?
From an average distance of 257 million miles (413 million kilometers), Ceres is 2.8 astronomical units away from the Sun. One astronomical unit s the distance from the sun to the earth. My favorite planet is Neptune, what's yours?

Living On the Moon

What does a moon look like and what does it do?

The moon gives us light during night time, sometimes it shines like a round plate and sometimes it shines like a little boat. In a Chinese folktale, a fairy and her white rabbit were living on the moon. But I know that's not true. I sometimes imagined what its like on the moon.

Temperature on the moon

I think it is often cold on the moon. The temperature gap is very big between daytime and night-time. Therefore, we should wear jackets or something warm in the night-time and wear shorts in the daytime.

What I'll do on the moon(Imaginary)

I'll build a house made out of stones and rocks! There's a lot of stones and rocks on the moon! There is no water and food on the moon so I will have to bring some from earth and I might even take a camera with me so I can take pictures of aliens and myself to send home! I'll use a little rocket ship to fly to the moon and it's 1 person only and that's me. I would love to go to the moon! What's you favorite planet and how are you going to get there?

Biography about Tufted deer

Here are the awesome facts that I found out about the tufted deer:

Habitat
Tufted deers are mammals that live in forested mountainous areas in China, Tibet, and Myanmar in Asia. The tufted deer commonly exists at high altitudes and occasionally in rain forests.

Physical Description
The most prominent feature of the tufted deer is its fang-like canines that only exists on the male species and can grow up to 2 feet high. Tufted deer lack the upper incisors and instead they have a hard pad that is used during chewing vegetation. The tufted deer is characterized by its long neck and legs which distinguish it from the muntjac species. It measures approximately 50-70 centimeter long. It weighs varies from 17-30 kilograms. Their tails usually are short measuring about 10 centimeters while the forehead contains black/brown hair that is horseshoe-shaped. The male species are slightly larger than the females, giving the reasons as to why the male tufted deer protects the pathways that these species pass through.

Food Habits
The tufted deer feed on leaves, twigs, grass, fruits and other kinds of plants. They are classified as browsers and grazers. Tufted deer press the lower incisors against the upper pad while feeding on the vegetation.

Behavior
The tufted deer are mostly found existing in solitary and sometimes in pairs. In addition, they travel in fixed routes in their habitats, which are always protected by the male deer. Tufted deer is described as a shy animal, and that is why it prefers staying in places that are well covered, where it is well adapted to the surrounding environment so they are not easily spotted. Since the tufted deer are ordinarily shy during the daytime, they tend to be more active at night! Once this animal is disturbed, it barks out loudly as a sign of warning/alarming the others. It then flees by jumping like a cat. Tufted deer often fight for mates and territory, using their sharp canines as their primary weapon.

As high as a 6 story building

The time I met a Deinocheirus

It has rained almost 4 days. The rain made me sleepy and bored because I couldn't go to the backyard to play.

But today when I wake up, it's sunny and I realised that I can open the windows because it's nice and warm. When I opened the window, a Deinocheirus in my backyard. The dinosaur's name is: Deinocheirus and his colour is: brownish grey and his height is: 4.9m high and his weight is 6.4 tonnes.

The reason the dinosaur ended up in our backyard was because it got lost in the rain. This dinosaur is an omnivore so it eats plants, grass vegetables and it eats meat. We have no meat to give him, so we just gave him vegetables from our garden. After he eating, he nodded his head. Shame we don't have a house for him! I told him this: "Do you want to find your family?" Then he nodded yes. So I said to him again: "Do you live in a forest?" He nodded yes again. So I told him the directions and I said: "Good bye! Good luck finding you family!" He waved and he walk slowly out of the driveway. "Bye! See ya!" I said.

A Ice-cream I Invented: Mango Trail Mix Ice-cream

So, I invented a ice-cream called Mango Trail Mix. The ice-cream shape is the helmet of Darth Vader or the shape of Yoda. The ingredients I put in there is: Mango(87%), Vanilla(29%), Sugar(2%), Chocolate(3%).

I recommend the Ice-cream to the world because it has obvious advantage. This type ice-cream is very different with the normal ones which they sell in supermarkets and dairys. The first merit is that this ice-cream suits kids and and adults because they are different to regular there is only 2% of sugar so it won't damage their teeth.

The design is just modern and the ice-cream colour will be golden so it'll look a little shiny. The details on Darth Vader and Yoda, I'm not going to put it on.

It is going to be easy to handle because the cone has a handle thing that you can hold and eat!!!

What the Lockdown is like

How it feels
Outside, it feels different for me because there's no party going on and the streets are quiet and there are basically no cars or trucks around! People are not working and schools are closed. So no one is coming out because of the Lockdown. The last two days were raining and we can't get out for some exercise.


What I did
In my house, I did pretty much nothing but I did do a lot of biking in my big back an front yard. At home, I can only watch TV, play LEGO and read books. I did have fun for a while but that didn't really last long. I did play guitar. I can play Rock You by the band Queen, Whatever it takes by Imagine Dragons, and Believer by Imagine Dragons on guitar and on piano, I can play  everyday, but most of the time I was just resting. I also did blogging which is fun and we ate pizza the other day! The flavor I had was Pepperoni, Cheese and Ham & Cheese, It was delicious! I did board games and I did scootering. So I had fun but some of it wasn't fun.

How to protect yourself
Always 6 feet away or 2 metres away from people and if your unwell or if you have a flu, don't go to the supermarket! It will be boring staying at home and can't meet relatives, but, you can always text and Skype, right?

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Double Down

Today I'm going to tell you all about Diary of a Wimpy Kid Double Down: The Pressures really piling up on Greg Heffley. His mom thinks video games are bad for your brain, so she wants her son to put down the controller and explore his "creative side." As if that's not scary enough, Halloween is just around the corner and the frights are coming at Greg from every angle. When he discovers a bag of gummy worms, it sparks an idea. 

Can Greg get his mom off his back by making a movie?

The Imaginary Superhero I Visited

The 5 books I chose were: Far off galaxy, Fantasy , History, Superheros and Mystery novels. The book I would like to write about is Superheros. The Far off galaxy one is pretty cool to see and very interesting! I could see stuff like: the sun and all the planets plus the moon. Fantasy attracts me because you can imagine more and be creative about yourself! History is interesting because they show you how you would behave in the future. Superheros! Superheros are using your imaginations and to be more creative about stuff for example: It could save the world and help sick people, etc.

Now I'll talk about superheros. So, The first place I visited was a town called Mokau. It was near the beach so I thought I'd take a relaxing day at the beach. I was planning about how long would I stay at the beach. So I thought 3 hours in the morning, 3 hours in the afternoon and 2 hours in the evening would be fine. But I was wrong!!! A huge tsunami arose and I was screaming: "AHHHHHHHHH! HELP!!!". Luckily, a superhero came and that superhero has force so he made the Tsunami go backwards instead of going forwards so he saved all of our lives!!! After that I ran up to him and said: "Thanks for saving my life, superhero!". Then the superhero said: "My name is not superhero, my name is Force Man!". I said: "Oops! My bad!".... He kindly said: "It's ok.", Then he whispered: "I don't tell my name to other people that much so yeah.". I replied: "Oh, ok then! And one more thing, you should be a inventor!". He said: "I already am! I'm a inventor, doctor and a veterinarian!".

After that, the beach is so safe that there was no waves (not even a lump). So, what I did was picking up shells, flat stones so I can make them bounce on the water (It did 3 bounces) and I had Ice-cream. I had the flavor called Cookies n Cream. I also had a drink which is Lemon and Paeroa (L&P). It was Awesome!

I believe that the superhero will invent something helpful for the world and do amazing and surprising miracles one day! And I believe that he will save a lot of sick people and hurt pets (as a doctor and a veterinarian).

A Book About Tom Gates

So, welcome back to my blogs guys! Today I'll show you my favorite book which is Tom Gates. I've almost got the whole series, just 3 more! The books I have is: The Brilliant World of Tom Gates, Genius Ideas(mostly), Excellent Excuses(and other good stuff), Biscuit Bands and Very Big Plans, A Tiny bit Lucky, Best Book Day Ever(so far), Everything's Amazing(sort of), Epic Adventure(kind of), Yes No(maybe...), Spectacular SCHOOL TRIP(really), Dog Zombies Rule(for now), Super Good Skills(almost), Extra Special Treats(not), Family Friends and Furry Creatures. The one I really liked was Genius Ideas(mostly) because: Marcus likes to think that he has good ideas... but they are mostly all the opposite of genius ideas! When Tom's Uncle Kevin says he is an expert on everything, it makes Tom's dad pull a face. Class 5F (which is Tom's class) came second on the sports day thing. Tom's mid-term report card says good things about Tom which he is very proud about! My second favorite Tom Gates book is called Excellent Excuses(and other good stuff) because this is what happened: Getting to the top of Mr Fullerman's award chart was pretty tricky for Tom because:
1. Marcus Meldrew is a sneaky so-and-so and up to no good
2. Tom's tooth is aching so much that he can't even concentrate on drawing in class!
3. Tom keep getting sidetracked by interesting activities like bug catching, and, most importantly, spending quality time annoying his sister Delia.
My third favorite book is called A tiny bit lucky. Here's what happened:
Tom's dad wants to make a kite so we can go out and get lots of "fresh air". Tom wouldn't mind getting more fresh air if they had a dog. But that's not going to happen because his sister Delia is "allergic" to dogs, Delia is also allergic to things like fun! Tom, Derek and Norman (who is Tom's best mates) are planning some serious band practice for the Rock Weekly Band Battle. Tom, Derek and Norman are not panicking because they have loads of time.
My last Favorite book is called Everything's Amazing(sort of). Here is what happened:
Good News for Tom...
1. Tom and Derek are entering Rooster (Derek's dog) into the local Dog Show so (just for a change) he smells nice and clean.
2. Tom's excellent singing voice is driving Delia crazy!
Bad News for Tom...
3. Granny Mavis (Tom's granny) wants to cook for Tom's birthday, which could might be a disaster for Tom. For example: Cucumber Cake and a broccoli bun.
4. Marcus Meldrew keeps getting Tom in trouble because he is a bad dancer.
5. Marcus has a dog which is as small as a rat (maybe smaller).
