Day and Night

At night we have dinner, have a shower, watch TV and go to bed. At day we go to school or go to work and have breakfast.

The sun only shines on half of the earth which  means on the other half it is night time. Earth spins on its axis making day turn into night .

When the Earth spins around, the side that was dark turns into day time and the side that was daytime turns into night time.The Earth takes 24 hours to spin on its axis and get back where it was.

The moon just goes around Earth so the moon has nothing to do with day and night.

Daytime is important because if we didn't have daytime we would be very cold and we would die.

Night and Day

When it's night we have darkness because it's not like day, it's like night. We can have dinner, watch television at night  and we can sleep at night.

In the daytime we have breakfast then we have showers in the morning. Earth spins on its axis. It spins around and around so we can have some light.

The moon does not cause day and night. The sun shines on earth and on the moon. It makes the moon shine at night. The sunsets every day. The sunlight is on one side of the Earth and it is dark on the other side.

Night and day is really special because it gives us air to breathe and light to see where you're going because if it is dark you can't see where you're going.

Day and Night

Day is a time to go to school and to work. Night is to rest, to sleep then shower and to have breakfast. Day and night is really good for us.

The sun is a big ball of fire. The light from the sun shines on one side of the earth.

Earth has one side of light and one side of dark so when the Earth spins around its the opposite.

The moon does not cause night time. It's just a reflection.

Day and night is important to us because day is for eating and going to school and watching television. Night is for sleeping and to shower and to eat.

Day and Night

The big difference between night and day is you have dinner and hot showers and sleep at night and have breakfast at day. Its light at day and dark at night.

The light from the sun shines onto Earth making day. One side of Earth is always facing the sun. While the other side of Earth isn't, making night. The Sun's rays can't reach one side of Earth so it shines on half of Earth.

The Earth is rotating on it's axis, while it's orbiting around the sun. While Earth is rotating the dark side of Earth is moving to the light side. So say England is in the dark and New Zealand is in the light. As Earth is rotating England is slowly moving to the light and New Zealand is moving into the dark.

Most people think that the moon makes night. But no, the moon doesn't make night. The reason we see the moon is because the sun's rays are reflecting off the moon so that it looks like it's glowing. It takes 27 days for the moon to orbit Earth. It takes 24 hours for Earth to rotate right around and takes 365 days to orbit the sun.

Day and night is important. You need to rest at night and play all day. Sometimes the days are longer.

Kei te pehea koe?

Ruapehu

On Friday, my family and friends drove to Ruapehu to go skiing.

First we put on our boots and skis then we put on our poles.

Later we went to the top to ski. It was hard to walk on the snow because the snow was slippery and wet. So we tried hard to climb up. Soon me and my dad climbed up to the top.

"Be Careful!" My dad said.  So I skied carefully but I still slipped sometimes on the snow. But slowly I was getting better at skiing, but I still slipped on snow a lot and I still tried hard.

Then we started to go to the cafe. The cafe was nice and warm with the heater so we relaxed. Soon we went to the bus and drove back to the motel and relaxed.

I felt cold tired and relaxed and happy in the snow because I loved skiing and having fun.

Pyjama Day!

The Quest to Beat the Curse!

(A Terraria story)

Chapter 1, the Old Man

One morning when I was looking for new stuff to smash, I spotted a shafty-thing and saw a person trapped inside. So I smashed my way down to the bottom floor and rescued him. “Thank you for rescuing me generous skeleton” he said. “But be careful, I was cursed and one day my master will curse me again.” So I said, “Don’t worry I will protect you. And any way is that a shower of demon eyes?” (Demon eyes are mythical creatures in terraria with nothing but an eye) “No Skeletron, those are fallen stars.” the Old Man said.

Chapter 2, Fun time

So I ran around the blanket of stars and said, “Man there’s heaps of them!” Even the Old Man was running around happily. I said “How much are these worth?” the Old Man replied, “Billions of dollars Skeletron. But what should I do with them?” I said. The Old Man answered, “Keep them Skeletron. Just watch out for demon eyes.”

  

Chapter 3, the mystery of the curse

So we duck jumped to the right, go to the left! “Finally that’s over aye Old Man!” “Yeah!” he said. Suddenly I heard a whoosh. “Old man, Old man? Where are you?” I shouted. “Oh! This must be the curse he was warning me about! I better go see where he is and fast! I’ll bring my health potions, emergency gloves (They help you break harder bricks) and my armour. Now I’m all ready to go!” I thought. “Don’t worry Old Man, I’ll rescue you!”

Chapter 4, Rescue Time! (A mini Book)

    

One day a mighty warrior (“who was me”) discovered the temple of DOOM!

He was sure it wouldn’t be too late to beat the curse. But still the warrior moved on.

The landscape changed, he didn’t give up. But still the warrior moved on.

He hoped he won’t, he was sure it wouldn’t be late to beat the curse.

Finally, he found the place, the place that holds the curse. He entered and got a shock. (When I say “shock” I mean fright).

Chapter 5, the battle (Part 1)

“Oh look a cute little canary (catnary actually). I’m going to call you Silky. I’ll put you in my mini portable cage. Now where is the old man?” A familiar voice was heard over the man eating sharks. “He’s over here Skeletron,” the voice said. “Go Silky, bring some TNT with you and try destroying him from above. Go! Catnary go!” Silky came back rough and ragged. “Oh you poor thing. What happened?” (This catnary can talk.) “The person I was trying to defeat was MASSIVE!” She said. “He said “Bring Skeletron before I lose my temper!” So we better go see where he is and fast!” So I followed Silky and she led me to the room the monster was in.

The battle, (part 2)

So I got to my battle station but before I could do that, I saw the Old Man “Old Man!” I call out. “He can’t hear you Skeletron!” said a familiar voice. “Hey how do you know my name?” I said. “Because I am your brother!” the voice says. “You Are?!!”  “Yes, I already told you that!” “ATTACK!” I yelled in rage. “So you want me to whack your head off with my mop!” he said. So I grabbed the nearest weapon and started attacking…   

So he swiped, I ducked.

I swiped, he ducked

He swiped, I ducked

I swiped, he ducked… but a little bit too late… BONK!

His head got swiped clean off by my mop! So then Silky (the catnary) rescued the Old Man and set him free.

Chapter 6, the last chapter

“So today The Old Man, Silky, and I go save the people in need

And who are we? We are...

“Team Skeletron!”
