Kiwi Kids News Reflection

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.

Brain Inquiry

The fishing andventure

The fishing adventure

Pua cast his line out from the dinghy and it snagged straight away. Uncle tried to help him reel it in but it wouldn’t budge. Suddenly the skies turned grey and the sea got choppy. And a giant pirate ship bubbled up from the depths of the ocean, dwarfing Uncles dinghy.

Merman/pirates have been living in the ancient abden pirate ship.One of them said confused “how did we get here above the water?” another one said “I don’t know but we will have to investigate.”They all looked over the edge of the and saw Pua and his Uncle.They threw a rope over the edge for them to climb up.The merman/pirates wanted to know how the ship came a float.Pua and his Uncle filled them in and went to go climb back down but there dinghy had floated away because they forgot to put down the anchor.So now they were traped on a ship that could sink at any second.

The merman/pirates said “make yourself at how but we mainly eat seaweed soup so get use to that oh and also give yourselves a self led tour of the place and the best part is coming soon we will be going back under water.”Pua and his Uncle went on with there self led tour and tried to come up with a way to get of the ship, they were on the lookout for something that they could sail away on.

They found a loose wood platform and some treasure and because they found the treasure they were trying to sneak off the ship.They were just about to jump off the ship when they heard someone say “get em.” They got caught and then got tied to the flag pole. Pua and his Uncle heard them trying discuss a punishment while they were trying to make an escape plan. They didn’t come up with a plan 1 because they didn’t have much to work with and 2 it didn’t take long for the merman/pirates to come up with a punishment.

“Here they come” said Pua with fear.We are going to make you walk the plank and we are taking away your life jackets oh and one more thing you will be doing it tonight and until then you will remain tied up.

Pua and his Uncle were now ready to walk the plank of course they couldn’t turn back. So they did it and no one realised that the boat had drifted away to a close island and so they weaved through the water all the way to the island. On the Island were coconut trees so for 2 days they drank the milk from the coconuts until the rescue team came and saved them.
