Why do some things float while others sink?
We have been learning about what sink's and float's
Some things float because of the buoyancy is higher than the weight that is pushing down.
Some things  sink because the weight that is pressure that is putted on it is higher than the buoyancy under.
It’s the same but the opposite.

My holiday highlight

Well on the first day of the holiday it wasn't that bad , me my friends and my family went to the beach and had a picnic it was quite exciting for me because we got to go swimming I love swimming that’s like a cotter of my life when everybody was eating I was having fun in the sand , everybody told me that I have to stop it because I was getting sand in there food , I was like wow don't need be that Angie.
Then we got to go swimming , everybody jumped out of the water because it was freezing I was wondering what they were talking about then I was starting to feel the coldness then I hopped out of the water.


Then we all went home, then like about ten minutes after we were at home my little sister (Anita) ask if her friends where aloud to have a sleepover first my mum and dad had a little discussion then finally they said sure Ariettah go ask the twins nan if there aloud to have a sleepover, then  I said that means that I’m aloud to tell my friends as well she said”no” well how come her  friends can have a sleepover and I my friends can’t she said because you're  too old to have a sleepover then I just said fine I’ll go get them and there nan said sure so they got into their pj’s and came over my house and went straight into the room and watch movies I could hardly sleep.

The next day my mum said that my uncle’s coming because it’s my grandma’s birthday so  my dad went to pick him up. When he came he said that we're going to happy day when it is grandma’s birthday I was so excited but the only thing was I didn't know what happy day was.When it was my grandma’s birthday we all went into the rest home and sang songs and said prayers.
Then we said our good byes then we went back to my Aunt's house and got ready then  we went to happy day when we arrived there it was packed with people.My auntie just said hurry up i’m hungry so when we went in the place everybody was eating hard core so we went to dish our plates and when we finish dishing our plates we went to sit on our big table when we finish eating all the kids got to play outside when we were going home our uncle gave us 20 dollars each then we went to the air port and said good byes.

The best beginning of term 2

Well on the first day of term it was outstanding we had the best assembly.This term team one's topic of the term is zoo animal's there video of the zoo was awesome I could see lots of animal's like giraffe,zebra,hippo,lion's and rhino. How about  the team two's topic of the term was flight there little show was amazing I loved how they dressed up as things that fly like I think a fairy,rocket ship,the best captain in the world and a air plane.Wow but team three's topic was pretty cool there topic was colours,when they first got up I thought that it was fairy's but I was wrong,they did this cool dance that I really enjoyed.
Wait ,wait how about the best of them all team fours that was our one our topic of the term was floating it was cool how our teachers gave out chocolate fish and how some of our teachers where dress up as pirates but the awesome Mr Somerville was dressed up as a fisher.
But the lucky last team five's one was fabulous how all the teachers came up with there head phones and where all wearing black.
Here's my little photo.

Wow did you go to FIA FIA it was amazing there was about 2000 people going to 3000 people including the kids.At 4.30 they had food out and drinks the time that I came was  at 5.30 we got into our uniform at 6.00 when I first arrived I was amaze how many people there where going back to our costume parts ,then when the Mr Burt called out”everybody go to there change room’s and we got change just if you wanted to know I was in the senior Samoan group our uniform was a read lava lava with flowers on it,black top and pretty feathers on our heads oops just for girls but for the boys they wore a short read lava lava with plastic flax's things around there legs and no T-shirt's.
There where 22 groups that perform we were the 12th group to perform when we were ready we went to our spot and we had to wait patiently and long we watch all the groups in till Timmy told us that it was our turn I was so happy that it was our turn because I felt like I was confident when I look at the stage. I was like in my head oh well who cares lets get over and done with when the Asian group came of I was like okay we can do this we walk on the stage then the fear started to come to me.
All the girls were trying there hardest to smile but they keep giggling when we started the dance the light was shining in our eyes we were trying to open our eyes but it was hard.
When it was the boys dance came on I could see all the girl cheek hurt I beet everybody knew that, then Rowana came of the stage and got ready for the last performance then when the boys dance was finish then we got into a weird looking square and a little space for Rowana when she comes.
So the music started and rowana came and dance in the middle she made a one mistake but she just smiled and it look like she didn't make a mistake anyway I know that her parents would of been proud of her and any ways when we got of the stage I felt like I wanted to do another performance.
Then we just watch the other groups.
Hope you enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
