My holiday!

 My holiday!

What's up guys welcome back to another blog post. Today is the first day back to school from our 2-week break. This term is our last term for the year and I am really excited to see what this term is going to look like and be like. I thought that I would share some things that I did during the holidays. 

 Going to my friend's house! 

 on the first week of the holidays, I spent 3 days at one of my best friends' house Risha. The first day I was there we had a sleepover because we thought it would be fun and because it was the holidays. Most of the time I was there Me and Risha spent the time outside exploring the place and going down to the stream next to her house. One of my favorite things we did outside was going for bike rides. We would go on short but fun rides around the neighborhood, and on one of our rides, we found a cat wandering around the place. So we stopped to pat it for a minute or two and the cared on with our ride. I had so much fun spending time at my friend and would differently do that go over again.

Staying home!                       

On the second week of the holiday, I stayed home all week. one of the days I stayed home my little cousin Lani came over for a little. Me and Lani did a lot and since it was a beautiful day we decided to spend our day outside in the sun. One thing that we did was tie-dye, I had some tie-dye supplies left and I thought it would be fun to do a little bit of tie-dye. We decided to tie-dye pillowcases and they came out really colorful and pretty. One of the other things we did was shooting some hoops. I came up with a fun challenge for me and Lani and the challenge was whoever could get 10 shoots in first wins, but of course, Lani got to go closer to the hoop and I was further away from the hoop. Lani had won the first game but we played multiple games so I think we won the same amount of games.

Netball break up!

On the second week on Friday, my netball team had an end of the season break up because we didn't have prizing giving this year. I am really proud of my team because we stayed in division 1 for the whole season which is great. So for our end of season break up we went to Mega Air, I was actually quite excited because I hadn't been there in a while. Unfortunately, some of our players couldn't make it but we still had a great time. We decide to go to Mega air in the morning but you won't believe me but it was packed. There where kids everywhere and every time we were about to jump there would be a kid running in front of us, so we had to be very careful not to jump on a kid. After going to Mega our coach took us to B.K and got us some yummy frozen drinks and that had differently cold me down.

Thank you so much guys for reading my blog post I really hope you guys had a great holiday, whether you just stayed in bed or did chores.

Healthy lifstyle

Hi, guys welcome to another blog post for today. Today in health we had a task to write a 4-course meal for a day - Breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner. The four main groups of food were Grains, Fruit and vegetables, dairy, and legumes.  These are the four main groups of food that you should be having every day to have a healthy lifestyle. Here is my meal plan.

Your Task: Create a meal plan for 1 day that includes all the necessary amounts for each of the 4 Food Groups

Vegetables + Fruit - at least 3 servings of veggies and 2 servings of fruit every day 

Grain foods - 6 servings each day (check portion sizes)

Milk/Milk products - 2 servings

Legumes/Nuts/Seeds/Fish/Seafood/Eggs/Poultry/Meat etc. - 2 servings 

When you have created your meal plan, please highlight each food based on the colors provided above. This will help us clearly see where each of the food groups has fit in. Remember, you want each meal to be a balanced plate.

Bonus research: how many glasses of water should we have each day? Fit this into your meal plan. 

Breakfast	Weetabix - Milk, Banana, Sugar
Lunch	Sandwich - bread, Eggs, Mayo, Apple
Snack	Grapes, Cheese, Bar,hard-boiled eggs
Dinner	Steak, peans, Milk, rice
Water	How many servings per day? 8 How do you think you could fit these in besides just at mealtimes?     Dinner   Lunch Snack

Becoming a martian!

 Hi, guys welcome back to my blog. We are starting a new Hurumanu which is science and writing. We did Science last term about Mars and this term we are learning more about mars again part two. Today we got an article from out of a journey that we had to read. If you guest it's about mars in this article it tells us all about growing food and how they get water etc. There are some questions that we had to answer so I am going to share them with you.

Questions 

1. When can a mission to Mars (or from Mars) happen? Why? 

Any mission from or two mars can happen every twenty-six months. Because the two planets would be really close together at this time.

2. What are the two geological features of Mars?

Mars is called a red planet because of its color and the cause is because of the large amount of iron oxide. The largest volcano on mars is called Olympus mons, and the largest canon is called Valles Marineris.

3. What is one possible solution from the story about oxygen on Mars?
   One option is to live in caves or underground lava tubes. When they go outside they would need to wear spacesuits, and NASA is already working on a new type of spacesuit that would keep astronauts comfortable and alive.

4. If it doesn’t rain on Mars, where does the water come from? 

People from Earth can not take water to mars because the water is very heavy and it takes up a lot of space. On Mars, it doesn't rain so astronauts get their water from the polar ice caps where their water is found as ice. People that have been on Mars have discovered more water underground, and only a little amount of water flows on the planet's surface and When it’s warm enough on mars the water is packed with toxic salts.

5. How will people get food on Mars? What is a possible solution?

If people were to take food to Mars it would have to last them at least twenty-six months until the next rocket of food arrives, and the amount of food for each person would weigh 5 tonnes. So the possible solution would be to use mirrors that would direct the sunlight to where the ice polar caps are. You would do this because it creates carbon dioxide which is a greenhouse gas. The heat would be used as a warm blanket. Soon after it would be warm enough for plants to grow.

This terms art and writing!

Hi, guys welcome back to another blog post. For this term, we have been doing Art and Writing. It took us a while to finish our writing and drawings but in the end, we finally got there. Our stories were based on Heros and villans. We had to make a plan first before writing our story so then we have a strong idea of what we are writing about. My two main characters are Evaan he is a boy and also the villain but in the end, he changes and because a hero too. My second main character is Tina she is the hero and she is trying to stop Evaan from taking the animals away from the jungle. Those are the two main characters I have one more character which is Bob and he is Tina's little sidekick but he isn't in the story a lot. Ok, that's enough information I will link my writing on this blog post.

For our drawings we had to draw a drawing of our setting, unfortunately, I haven't finished my drawing of the Jungle, but I do have to drawings of my Villan and hero. The main things we had to have in our setting drawings is a perspective line, a vanishing line, and a Horizon line.

These are my drawings:

 

This is the link to my writing!

Conclusion: 

This term I have had a great time drawing and writing my story about heroes and villains. Next time I would like to finish all my drawings so then I can post them on my blog and show them to my family and friends. 

Drama

Hi, guys welcome back to my blog today for drama we have been finishing off some work this term, so I thought I would share a little bit about my character. So I posted a blog post a while ago about my script/play and also some games we played today. Today we didn't get to play any games because we ran out of time. This is a little bit about my character goldilocks.

So I am goldilocks. I am 13 years old and I am an only child. I live in the forest with my parents and grandparents. I help my mum with things around the house and I also help my dad with mechanical things. I like to go for walks and do fun activities outside like painting or playing with my dog. I don't have any friends but I do have my dog he is really fluffy and chubby. So yeah that's all I have to say. Nothing really intersting in life.

Thank you guys for reading my blog post. I will be posting a video about my play soon.
