TOKU MAHI NA BAILEY

Hi there, Fans.  I am Bailey and I hope to do good things this year.  Some of my goals are:

1.   
2.   

CAMP

Our whole class went to Quinney's Bush for four days. We went to camp to know our class mates and teacher better. 

My favourite activity was the waterslide  because it was very slippery and when you go down you're zooming like a race car and I also liked the polar bear plunge as it was freezing.

Thank you for taking our class on camp Mrt.

HELLO

And Hello to you Bailey.  A very good post.  Keep it up and write a bit about your self.  BW

CAMP

It was a bright and a gorgeous day. The birds were chirping with laughter. We went to camp because we would get to know the new and old kids we didn't know and their personality. My absolute favourite activity would be the waterslide because you would zoom down then kaplonk in the water. I would like to say Thank you to the parents and the Mr T.  We wouldn't have done this trip without you.

Good post Charlee.  It was good to see you helping others.  BW

MARS

My information about Mars is:
1. Mars is the fourth planet from the sun and the second smallest planet in our solar system.
2. It's named after the Roman god of war.
3. It is often described and famous as the red planet, as the iron oxide prevalent on its surface gives it a reddish appearance.
4. Mars has many massive volcanoes and is home to the Olympus Mons, the largest volcano in our solar system, it stands 21km high and is 600km across the base.
5. Mars has a very weak gravity which cannot hold onto the atmosphere well.
6. The polar caps consist of frozen co2 ( dry ice ) which lies over a layer of ice.

CAMP

On the 5th of March 2013, it was the day..... no, not the boring old days when there's no maths, it was........ QUINNEY'S BUSH CAMP!!!!!  I was incredibly over-excited!

The reasons we went on camp; we would get to know each other better, or you could overcome your fears and can learn and try out new and different activities.

My favourite activities were; Abseiling, Bivouacs, Damper making, Spotlight(too bad Miss Sefton couldn't play), Polar bear plunge, FREE TIME, FOOD and Go-Karts!

Mr T didn't do all the activities.

In the mornings it was colder than you can ever imagine but when the toast comes..... IT IS SOOOOOOOO SCRUMPTIOUS........... It makes you as warm as the spectacular sun.

Mr T didn't have to take us to camp but he did........ WHAT A NICE GUY! THANK YOU MR T!!!!!

CAMPBELL AND I  ON BIG MAMA

GALILEO GALILEI

Galileo Galilei was an Italian scientist who helped open the eyes of the world to a new way of thinking about the workings of our solar system and astronomy in general.

Galileo Galilei was born is Pisa, Italy, on the 15th of February 1564, he died on the 8th of January 1642.

Galileo was a ground breaking astronomer, physicist, mathematician, philosopher and inventor.  Among his inventions were telescopes, a compass and thermometer.

Galileo enrolled to do a medical degree at the University of Pisa but never finished, instead choosing to study mathematics.

Galileo built on the work of others to create a telescope with around a 3x magnification, he later improved on this to make telescopes with around a 30x magnification.

With these telescopes, Galileo was able to observe the skies in ways previously not achieved. In 1610 he made observations of 4 objects surrounding Jupiter that behaved unlike stars, these turned out to be Jupiter's four largest satellite moons: Io, Callisto, Europa and Ganymede.  They were later renamed the Galilean satellites in honor of Galileo himself.
