Life cycle of a star

Star life cycle
WALT: to explain how stars work.
Stars are everywhere. When you look into the night sky, you can see them.
In the daytime you can’t see them but they’re still there.
First phase. Protostar
A star’s life cycle depends on its mass in it’s nebula.
The cloud where it was born.
The more mass,the shorter the life cycle.
The mass is determined by the amount of matter.The star starts to spin faster and faster until it reaches 15,000,000 degrees.
This means it has become a protostar.


Second phase.Red giant
As the star glows,hydrogen in the star’s
Core is changed by the nuclear fusion.
When the hydrogen supply in the star’s core runs out,the star won’t be generating heat anymore and, the core will be unstable and shrink.
The outer shell of the star will still grow larger.As it grows larger, it will cool and glow red.It has become a red giant.
It is red because in the core of the red giant, the helium has joined into the carbon.


Third phase.White or black dwarf
If the red giant doesn't have enough mass to create the core temperatures,near 1 hundred billion, required to combine lots of carbon and oxygen created at its center.When it sheds its outer layer,there will be a ring shaped shell of gas leaving its core behind.
Over the years,maybe billions of centuries, the white dwarf will cool and become a black dwarf.

The Last phase,Supernova.
Then the red giant becomes a red super giant triggered nearby a white dwarf which makes a supernova then ends up like a black hole or a neutron star.
That's how a stars life cycle goes.
It was very long but that's how a life cycle goes!

Senses poem about Apia

I see the special air fares to Apia.
I hear the thunder booming loudly.
I smell the fresh earth and plants.
I touch some of the rain falling down on me.
I taste the hot, sweet tea.

Selkies

Last week, we made a slide about selkies. We read a book about them and how they are mythological creatures. We read about them because we were finding about mythological creatures.
Here's a quick fact! Did you know selkies shed their skin to transform into a human?

Hauora - who can help?

In R.E (Religious . Education) we learned about Hauora. Hauora is about health and is about people that can help on our  written hands and wrote about who can help when you're sad, lonely, angry or puzzled. We wrote family, cousin, friends, and pets.

An ode to the clock

In class, we learn't about odes. Odes are a funny poem that is like a letter to a non-living thing.
This is my ode.
To Clock,

You are the king of all time!

No one tells the time like you!

You are as reliable like the morning, afternoon and night!

You are like the father of all time!

Oh clock, how I adore you!

Animal Classification

Animal classification

Today we learned about how animals are classified into groups. Animals are either vertebrates
(which means they have a spine) or invertebrates( which means they don't have a spine).

Invertebrates are animals like jellyfish, crabs,insects and octopus.

Vertebrates are put into five groups.They are mammals, birds, reptiles,fish and amphibians.
Mammals have fur or hair and give birth to live young.Birds have feathers and lay hard eggs.
Reptiles are cold blooded and lay soft eggs. Amphibians breath through through their skin and need to keep their skin moist. Fish breath through gills and have fins

5 examples of each type
Mammals: Mammoths, Cows, Gorillas, Lions and Bears
Birds: Parrots, Budgies, Swallows, Hummingbirds and Kiwis
Reptiles: Chameleons, Skinks, Geckos, Crocodiles and Turtles
Amphibians: Frogs, Salamanders,Toads, newts and Caecelians
Fish: Snapper, Stingrays, Sharks, stone fish and gold fish

My birthday

The Morning

On my birthday 17th February 2018 I went to Jump.

In the morning my Dad and Mum said “Happy Birthday!” my Dad’s brother said happy birthday to me also. When I went to the Lounge I saw my brother playing /watching on the old Computer that still works. He was watching Teen Titans Go! on netflix. He said happy birthday and good morning to me also. For breakfast I had corn beef and egg. I didn’t eat corn beef so I didn’t eat that instead I had tuna and egg .Then I watched Tad the lost explorer.

The Afternoon

In the afternoon my Dad called me to come with him because we were going to buy my present from Toy co. When I got into the car I got to sit in the front seat. When we were halfway there my Dad put on the air con and I yawned a lot. When we got to Toy co I couldn't find the Bey-blades but my Dad said”Maybe it’s on the other side” and he found it! The Bey blades there was:Genesis Valtryek V3 but my Dad spotted the best one!!! Storm Star stadium with Valtryek V3 and Satomb S3!!! Whoa! XD so we bought it for a deal,me and dad I have to pretend I was so surprised when I open it. So he bought it. When we got home he locked the bedroom door and started wrapping.When I went to the lounge my cousin Victor was here and was already halfway through Tad the lost explorer. A few minutes later, we got in the car and drove to Classic Bake house and picked up my cake. It was Denis daily riding on a tron bike out of the galaxy. Then my Dad drove us to Jump.(If you want to know where it was I think it was at East Tamaki)

The Wait

When we got there my dad took out a bag of twisties and we ate some. Then we went into Jump.It was full of people! I got excited. We just had to wait for my cousins.  I ate a few more twisties then there was no more. My mom fed me some chiffon cake. (which looks like bread but softer)After that I watched my brother skate nearly everywhere. 15 Minutes later... our cousins came.Now we have to wait for my dad’s brother. 5 minutes later…

His brother is here. Yay! I can go into Jump now.

The Party

We went in but… We had to wait for the time to get to 5:00!?!?!? It was only 4:48 but time was running fast and I got to my party fast so first I went to the free jumping place then I went and jumped into the foam pit...oh.! The dodge ball place! So we started and we did Boys vs Girls. DODGE BALL EXTREME!!!!! So we started but we kept on losing so tough luck on us but some people joined in and went hard on us. There was lots of people in the the girls team so XP

The restaurant

(I skipped the other parts because I didn’t have time to write it all so sorry)

After the party we went to a place called Momotea.

They served yummy Malaysian food like spring rolls, Boba tea, noodles, Fried rice, crispy chicken with soft bones you can chew through, Tofu and milkshakes.

After that, we went home and tested out the bey blades and there was also new launchers.

My favourite bey blade would be Valtryek V3. He had a cool move called Genesis Reboot.

Genesis Reboot is when Valtryek’s tip turns on and spins around the stadium.

Satomb S3’s move was Roller Drift.

It uses the wheels on it’s tip to help it spin.

And then I ate some cake.

The end.
