Jupiter's Moon Spewing Water Jets

Jupiter's Moon Spewing Water Jets 

New evidence has shown that Jupiter's icy moon, Europa throws jets of water out into space. 

Scientist first reported the behaviour in 2013 they were using Hubble telescope, but have now made a follow-up sighting 

It is significant because Europa is one the most likely places to find microbial life beyond Earth because of its huge ocean of liquid water. Flying through the jets with an instrumented spacecraft would be an effective way to test the possibility.            Jupiter's Moon

Visiting Tamaki Primary

Last week Wednesday Ruapotaka school went to Tamaki Primary school. We had to use  three buses to go to their school. When we got there they did a welcoming so the kapahaka group had to welcome us to their school. The girls sang a song and the boys did the Haka. We had to leave our school because the Asbestos company had to come and clean our school roof and nobody was not allow to go inside but only the teachers that were allow to go inside the staff room. We won't allowed to go inside because there was Asbestos in our roof and we might get sick and miss our learning at school. On Friday Tamaki Primary had Tongan Language Week at their school and it was fun and their dances were cool as also they sang some songs it was sweet as. 

I HAD A GOOD TIME THERE!!!

Hockey

Hockey 

5:30am, I just woke up to get ready for training in Rio but first I have to have breakfast for breakfast I have fruits and porridge, because it is very good and healthy for your body.    

I train on the main field where all the other athletes train, but I train on the hockey field. My coach’s name is Daniel he is very good at field hockey. He taught us how to do some tricks for field hockey, so my other team member was not listening to our coach so she had to get out for 10mins. Next week I am going to win the gold medal for my team, so I can make my coach happy and my whole family happy, because they came all the way here just for me so I have to try my best at playing with my team members and work as a team when we are on the hockey field. .

Matariki

This is the work that I did for Matariki. Matariki is the Maori New Year and it is alsonamed  for the seven sisters or the seven stars. I also did a screencastify to show how I got on with my work.

Matariki Maori New Year

Matariki, or Maori New Year  celebrations were once popular, but they stopped in the 1940s. Only a few people took part. Traditionally, Matariki was a time to remember those who had died in last year. But it was also a happy event. Matariki was a time for singing, dancing and feasting. It is celebrated more often these days.   Matariki

The Lions Return Home

  The Lion's Return Home: May 5th 2016

                                       
Thirty three lions were removed in Peru and Colombia.

They found out that their conditions were incredibly bad. Almost every lion have had their claws removed and many have had broken their teeth. One lion has lost its eye and one is almost blind. Making it impossible for them to survive in the wild. They will be returned to Africa next week, after spending years in South America.
