HOLT PLANETARIUM VISIT  

Monday 16 June 2014

Something I enjoyed was learning about Space because I did not know much about Space.

Something I found interesting was learning about black holes because I didn't know that when you go into a black hole you stretch so long that you just pop.

The most exciting thing about space is how we can see 1000 stars with binoculars and with a telescope you can see 100,000,000 because you can only see the bright stars with our eyes.

I would like to learn more about Spacecraft

“How do stars in the universe have an impact impact on us?”

I want the rest of my inquiry topic to be about: How did the planets get their names?.

Name Maths

This is  how much all the letters from my name add up to in numbers if a =1 and z = 26.

Waka trip

           Waka recount

Today my class room 6 and me, Went for a Waka ride down Clive River.  We had a adult each and we had 7 groups. My adults name was Andrew, my groups names were James, Taylor and Nasa. When we got there the Waka leaders name was Jim Edwards. Here is a link to the boat we all went on Ngati Kahungunu Waka. Our motto for room 6 is, he Waka eke noa. We got life jackets on and grab a little square carpet so are bottoms don’t get wet. We set off and Jim calls out tokiha which means Work together and maintaining the rhythm. We paddle he calls tokih a lot of times then he calls out the haka and we just keep paddling. We get to the end then we paddle backwards. Then we turn around and the right side of the waka with people on that side turn their paddles on the green side of the hoe. Then the left side do the same but they have to turn their hoe on the white.

Get ready- Kia riti

Paddle- Hoe

Stop- Whakamutu

Ta papa- Lean forward

Tipuna (carved on waka) - ancestors (people that have came before)

Tūmatauenga - God of War

We went to turn the Waka and it was a lot of work. Then we keep going foward for a long time. We got under the bridge and he was doing the haka call. Then we all did a big turn to park the Waka up.

It was time to leave. We all had a try and Rosie said “thank you so much for taking us on the Waka”.

All of our hands were numb and sore. Then we went back to school and had morning tea. I thought it was lunch and I ate all my morning tea.

Miss Ramsey let us into class and asked how was the Waka trip. Taylor said “ I was scared a bit then I got over my fear”.

Then Mr M came into the class and then we had to make this story I am now. I really enjoyed listening to Jim about the weapons that the Maori people used long time ago.
