again. Also here are some ideas

of what people think Tristan should do. Evanjaline, Senetenari, Saunoa and mine.

A drawing of Tristan.

Ordinary, one of a kind,  brave to go to the dump, has a name, Grown up, different, risk-taker, unknown, wonder, worried, lonely and not afraid.

This is my drawing what I think Tristan looks like when he is grown up and some keywords that describes Tristan. Also some questions about Tristan.

Is he responsible for what he is doing?

Does he know where he is going to?

Does he let his parents know?

Does he have any friends?

Quality Blog Commenting

This is my Quality blog commenting on Mary's blog about going to camp and what activities she did there.

Remember poetry

That Was Camp.

Remember When I did Waka Ama and I thought I was strong enough to paddle?

Remember When I was surfing I had to get my board but instead I got pushed out in the tide?

That was camp.

Remember when I did Archery  I was pretending that I was left handed but because I wanted to have a go and that I had an improvement for getting a bullseye AWESOME!?

Remember when I was doing Raft building and I didn’t know how to do it with a small rope but though when we worked as a team I learned how it is important to know how to tie knot?

That was camp.

Remember when I was partners with Veronica she was laughing because she left me float out to the tide?

Do you remember when you were having the most FUN time at CAMP?

4/06/2015 JA Speed Write The hot helium gas stars.

[The blazing hot stars]

[Introduction]

Have you ever looked up in the sky and looked at the blazing hot stars. Did you know that red stars are cold and blue stars are hot, these are some facts about the blazing hot stars

[Paragraph 1 - change this to your first subheading Types of stars]

There are different colors of stars there are blue, red and ultraviolet. Red stars-are most common red dwarfs. One of the smallest known stars in our galaxy is VB 10. It is only around 20% larger than jupiter. During a supernova event, enough light is released is outshine an entire galaxy of billion of stars.

[Life Cycle]

For a star to be born which is called Nebulae it needs a clump of dust and gas. The life span of our own star the sun is around 10 billion years. When a giant star begins to die, its center shrinks. A star will become either a black dwarf, neutron star or a black hole, depending  on how massive it was. Stars are formed in nebulae, interstellar cloud of dust and gas (mostly hydrogen).

[General Information]

Stars can live for billions of years. The sun is a star too it is the closest star to earth. Ancient civilization knew when a year had passed by observing changing patterns in the stars. The name star came from the ancient Greek word ‘aster’ which means star. There are stars that comes only on matariki they are all sister’s. Hot is enough to turn gold like our sun, but it shine’s for much longer.

[Appearance]

The giant star may have disappeared from sight but its gravity remains. Did you also know that Sirius (the brightest star) it is the first star you will see. On a clear Moonless night, you will notice two fuzzy patch as of light. the smaller one is called Magellanic cloud!  Most Stars are too small to shine bright as the sun. Many stars and the sun, have spots on their surface which are the cooler areas.

My Information Report Success Criteria:	Self	Peer
My heading/title: The hot helium gas star!
is an interesting title (I might have phrased the title as a question.)

are organised so that each paragraph is about a different aspect of the subject
give detailed information (factual descriptions)
include specific, technical vocabulary
are generally balanced (have a similar amount of detail about the different aspects I write about)
may have helpful: tables, pictures and/or diagrams to add information
My end paragraph/conclusion:
draws the report together/sums up my main points
may give a personal opinion; ask the reader a question and/or tell the reader where further information may be found

In Week 6 of Term 2 our class focussed on how to write great explanations.

We wrote about the Moon’s different phases as we are in the middle of learning about Planet Earth and Beyond. Learning how to write a great explanation will help us with our self-guided topics in a few weeks time. Here is my writing, after I have self-assessed and peer-assessed my work.

WHY DO YOU THINK THE MOON CHANGES ITS SHAPE?

Introduction:

Have you ever wondered why the Moon changes its appearance when it is a dark night when it is time for you to sleep? Well some people think it changes its appearance but it is actually orbiting Earth and while the Moon is orbiting us also Earth is orbiting (going around) The Sun.

People think that the moon is changing shape but it is actually the Moon's appearance because the Moon orbits Earth while Earth orbits the sun. In addition the Moon orbits on its axis like Earth but we orbit anti-clockwise. The moon can possible be on full Moon but it actually orbiting Earth like I said. Even Though the Moon you always see is actually its appearance.

There are lunar phases of the Moon actually there are 8 lunar phases that are called New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter and Waning Crescent. Those lunar phases is actually the Moon that orbits us and those Moons actually happen at night when it is sleep time. These are the lunar phases that

Now you know some facts about how does the Moon changes its appearance here is a site for you to look why else does the Moon changes its appearance  if you are reading this I hope you enjoyed it because if those facts are not enough for you like I said here is the link for you to see more facts about why does the Moon changes its appearance.
