Nepal Drowns Dangerous Everest Mountain Lake

This week I choose to read an article from the world category about lake Imja. The lake depth was originally 149 meters deep in some places, now it has had its water levels lowed by 3.4 meters. I was shocked at how deep this was. Many of the lakes have said to be filling up fast because of the glaciers melting and the rising global warming temperatures. This is grate news for anyone who's planing on climbing the mountain because the water levels wont be as high.

All Blacks

This week I chose my article from the world category. My Article was about the All Blacks creating history with 18 straight wins. This is an outstanding job from the Kiwis because New Zealand isn't very big compered to South Africa, Australia and Argentina. Winning 18 times in a row is a record for a series of nations.  

Maths Hub

Rounding

This week I have now got a better understanding of round up and down from maths hub. At first I struggled with rounding to the nearest ten but now I get it. This is how I did it: 5.34 if i need to round this number to the nearest tenth then I need to look in the tenths place. In the tenth place is .3 so then I need to look at the digit in the next place if it's bigger than 5 then I round it up but if its smaller then 5 I keep the digit the same. So the answer is going to be 5.3. 

Kiwi Kids News

I have just read on kiwi kids new that there has been evidince of Jupiters moon Europa spewing out water jets into space. Here is some more infomation I found out. Sientist first discovered this odd behaviour for Europa in 2013 using a telescop called the hubble telescope but now they have made a following up sighting. Its significent because Europa is one if the most likey places to find microbial life beyond Earth. Sientist want to get a small sample of the water so they can run tests. I found this really intresting to read because I never new that a planet or a moon could do such a thing.

Microbial life means:Microbes are single-cell organisms. They are the oldest form of life on earth.

Organisims means:A single animal.

Camp

Camp

We have just got back from camp it was so much fun. We did heaps of activites like kyaking wasterslides building a raft and human fusball these are only some of the activites we have done. My favourite activite was when we went down to the river and built rafts and went down the waterslide. The food was so great espically yhe pudding. We went to bed late and got up early so when we got back we were all super tired.

Waterline

These past few weeks we have had a waterline lady come in and inform us about water wich we thinkis an unlimeted supply.We have learned why the water tastes different in other towns and citys.That is because the concils use different cleaning methods when the water come in from streams and sometimes they add stuff to the water to make it cleaner and safer to drink.That is just one of the many reasons that we have learned.

Maths

Today we did a maths problem. This was the problem: Lee and Jamie have decided to buy their father a card for father's day. The card is going to cost $5.95. Lee puts in 35c more than Jamie. How much does each child contribute. I found this easy once it was explained a bit to me. Here is how I worked it out.

Maths Reflection

Today we did decemal problems. We had to make all the vowls in our name worth 0.5 and all the other letters worth 1.3 and then add the value up to see what our total was.I found this fun and easy.
