Maui Fishing Up Aotearoa

As you can see this picture it is the old picture of Maui fishing up N.Z Aotearoa. But did you know that Wellington is the eye of the fish , and the harbour is the Mouth. The hook that Maui used to fish up Aotearoa was a very powerful hook that hook is name the hook of heaven because that hook was so powerful that it could fish up such a big country. I think that Maui is a true Maori because he is not scared

Did you know that during Thursday last week in the morning it was room 18's tern to go play tennis with the coach, but first he had to tell us to go get a racket than come back and form our line again so we can get in to pears before we move on to do the next thing that we need to do.

The coach told us how to hold a racket, you will need to put your racket on the ground than make a V kind of shape your hand than replace your hand on where you hold the racket with.

I think that tennis is a little bit difficult because of the skills of the game. My most hardest part in all the skills is that part when we had to hit the ball on the side of the racket that game was also about who can do the most.

(I felt AWESOME that I knew how to play tennis) (I wish that I was a tennis player)
(I think that Tennis is an enjoyable fun sport to do) (Hope we can play tennis again)

Copy of Planets comparison chart-Kitiona

Task: You need to compare our planet Earth with 3 other planets in our Solar System. Name:

Comparison between Earth and 3 other planets in our Solar System	Earth	Venus	Mars
Picture of the planet	*	*	*
Diameter	12 756.2 Kilometers	12 103.6 Kilometers	6794 Kilometers
Order in our solar system (e.g 3rd planet from the sun)	Earth is the 3 planet from the sun	Mars is the 4 planet from the sun	Jupiter is the 5 planet from the sun
This planet is similar to (e.g. Venus) because...	Earth because there the same size.	Venus because there know rings.	Jupiter because jupiter has moons.
This planet is different compared to (e.g. Neptune) because...	Earth is some times cold and sometimes hot.	Venus is 4.5 Billion Kilometres far away from Neptune.	Mars is stretches 4,000 km along the equator of Mars.
Number of moons and/or rings:	earth has 1 moon and 0 rings.	Venus ha 0 moons and 0 rings.	Mars had 2 moons and 0 moons.
5 - 8 interesting facts about this planet:	-Earth is the fifth largest with a diameter of 12,756 kilometers -Earth's Moon has about a quarter of its diameter (but only 1.23 %. -The Planet Earth moves around 18.5 miles in a second in the orbit around the sun. -the earth gos around 150 mikes per second in its rotation -planet Earth is only slightly larger than Venus.	-Venus is the brightest planet in our sky -Venus is the sixth largest planet but has no moon. -Venus is only 650 km less than the size of Earth. -Venus is the only planet in the Solar System to turn clockwise. -There are more volcanoes on Venus than on any other planet in the Solar System.	-Time taken to orbit Sun 687 days. -Mars is Named after the Roman god of war. -It takes 24 hours and 37 minutes for Mars to spin once on its axis -Mars is sometimes known as the Red Planet. -Venus and Mercury are the only two planets in the Solar System
Explain why life is possible or not possible on this planet:	The Earth has both a stability and a dynamic which allowed conditions to exist which started the beginnings of life.	The surface temperature is 750 degrees.	currently the temperature is too low for people to live in Mars.
