Guess what happened yesterday? We had a science showcase that we had to visit every class and had to see what they have done. It was REALLY fun, and every class did very well. This was REALLY interesting. I also learned that when you look through a microscope you can see the inside of objects. I wish we could have this everyday.

NEW HOME

 New Home
Guess what! My family and I went to my uncle’s friend’s new house. We had a prayer meeting. After the prayer the kids got to play. Then we had the delicious lunch with ice cream and fizzy drinks as desert.The lazy adults started watching cricket and the chatty adults started chatting. The kids were playing and little babies started their adventure by running around the house.I was playing so much that I  forgot the time. Soon it was home time for many children but not me. I still got to play with the children that were still here. Them we had some fried fish. Yummy in my tummy. Then my uncle got a photo with his friends and we walked to the car. Before we got in the car my uncle asked me and my mum “should we go to duck pond or the mall?” I said duck pond and then my uncle looked at my mum with the sight of her answer . My mum said that I can choose. We went to duck pond but we couldn’t feed the ducks. Because we didn’t have the bread. We hopped in the car and the breeze began. The sun set with a colourful backround. What a great day!



Southern Lights

Southern  Lights
Another name for the Southern Lights is Aurora. An aurora aurialis is a natural light display in the sky, usually of greenish color but sometimes red or blue.

Aurora is caused by the collision of energetically charged particles with atoms in the high altitude thermosphere within our atmosphere.
To take full advantage of Flickr, you should use a JavaScript-enabledAuroras are associated with the solar winds that flow past Earth. These winds flow out from the Sun and contain plasma particles (ionized gas) which gets pulled into the Earth's magnetic pole fields.
As they accelerate towards the Earth, collisions occur between these ion particles and nitrogen and oxygen atoms in our atmosphere, releasing energy in the form of amazing aurora lights. The aurora often appear as "curtains" of folding light constantly changing shape.
Old folktales have suggested that the aurora can create brief and faint noises such as claps, static, or crackles heard on rare occasions by those on the ground. Recent scientific research has shown that this could in fact be true with clapping sounds recorded during an aurora display.

Author name: Kathryn lasky

Book Series: Guardians of Ga‘ hoole
This is a mystical book of an owl from another Kingdom and he comes to the land of noble owls and tries to hypnotize the King. My favorite character is Soren. He is the most bravest among all the owls. It would be more capturing if the book had some pictures.   My favorite part was when Soren saved the King.

Cows and Calves

Calves and cows
Calves are born from their mother’s called ‘cows’. The calf pops up and try to stand up on it’s own legs. The calf drinks milk from their mother’s udder.When calves are born they are taken to a warm shed to be taken care of.


When calves are hungry the farmer gives it milk to drink.When calves see milk they are greedy and want to be first. The older the calves grow they nibble on grass rather than milk. The older the more grass they feed on and less milk. They also love drinking water. Young calves have tiny horns and are disbudded with hot iron. They need an injection to prevent infection.


The farmers choose the best female calves and they are called milking cows or heifer. One cow can produce 20,000 litres of milk a year. Male cattle are killed for their veal. The best bulls are kept for mating with females to produce new calves.
