For the Term 2 holidays I had a great time! For the first week it was a bit boring and I was at home either watching TV, playing my iPad or reading my book. But in the second week was much more fun because some friends from Australia came and visited us hear in New Zealand. Some of the places that we when to were the Antarctic Center, Cocopellis, on the tram and punting on the Avon River.
In the Antarctic Center we when into the snowstorm, which was so cold!, on the Hagglund ride (the ride was scary and my and my friend screamed). We saw the 4D movie of 'Happy Feet' (where you have the 3D glasses and the seats move and you get sprayed with water!) and we learnt some things about the Antarctic which was COOL!
For dinner on one of the nights we went to Cocopellis which is at The Palms. It is a great place and I do recommend that you go there. They do great food (especially the pizzas). Cocopellis is a great place and can't wait to go there again.
The first day that they were here in Christchurch we went on the trams. We showed them some of the old buildings and important things to Christchurch. We hopped off the tram at stop 12 and walked past the museum and past the Gardens all the way to the Avon River.
When we got to the Avon River we walked down to the boat shed to go punting. When it was time for us to get on to a boat, we hoped on to a long boat that had four seats and each seat could fit two people. As we sat in the boat waiting for the punter to come we were handed a blanked to share and a hot water bottle. I sat next to my friend and my sister and her sister sat next to each other in front of us.
I had so much fun while they were here but then they left to go to Queenstown and then they went back to Australia.
What did you do in the holidays?

Book Review
Last week I finished a book called "the school Of Good And Evil, A World Without Boys". The author of this book is Soman Chainani. In my last Book Review I did it on the first book in this series and this is the second book in the series. The main characters in this story are Sophie, Agatha, and Tedros. I do have some spoilers. In this book it has it has romance, action and adventure.
This book is about two girls Sophie and Agatha and one boy Tedros. Agatha and Sophie are in there village and Agatha makes a wish that opens the gates to the world of fairy tales. As they find their way back to the school of good and evil it is not that any more and it has changed to the school of girls and boys. Agatha tries to get back with Tedros and Sophie does not want them together. As the girls fight in the end Agatha goes to Tedros and Sophie find a love with someone else. I enjoyed the book and recommend it to anyone that likes romance and fairy tales, but it is a scary book. I rate this book 4/5.
have you read a book that you enjoyed and when you were reading it you could not put it down?

Book Review
Not to long ago I finished a book called "The School Of Good And Evil". It is a good book. The author is Soman Chainani. I do have some spoilers. The main characters of this story are Sophie and Agatha. Sophie loves the colour pink and tries her hardest to be good and kind to others. Agatha on the other hand likes the colour black, lives by a grave and does not like other people. In this book it has romance, action and adventure.
This book is about two girls Sophie and Agatha that get taken from their old home to a world full of fairy tales. The girls though that Sophie would go to The School of Good and that Agatha would go to The School of Evil but they were wrong and then they went to the opposite school. As the girls tried to get home they have to face challengers and at times they hated each other only to at the end find there way home and be good friends.
I rate this book 4/5.

Caritas Challenge
In Week 3 the Year 7/8 Hub did the Caritas Challenge. As you already know from my last blog what we did was the Live It Challenge. We slept outside at school in a cardboard box. We did this challenge to fundraise for Caritas. It started at 9:00am on Friday the 18th and ended at 9:00am on Saturday the 19th.
From 9:00am to 9:15 we did the roll and got started on the great fun day planned. From 9:15 to 10:00 we had mass because that's what the people in Timor-lest do on a Sunday.
10:00 to 10:30 we had an Anti-bulling Assembly with the rest of the school.
Then we had a break. At 11:15 to 11:30 the City Missioner came in to talk to us about homeless people in Christchurch, NZ.
Next we did a Move It Challenge where we completed 3 hours of non stop sport. We invited Mairehau Primary School. I did non-stop sports on the netball court. I enjoyed doing this and got very thirsty too.
For the next session of sports I did yoga and played some balloon volleyball, it was fun.
After that it was time to start building our shelters. I was with my friends Roza, Becky, Joanna and Tamera. We made our like a tent and it was a small space so through the night we would be closer to each other and warmer than the people the had theirs spaced out. Hear is a photo of our shelter
We then did a reflection on the experience we'd had. In my last blog is the Questions and my Answers of the Reflection.
The next day we took-down the shelters and had a game to 9:00 when we had finished the challenge.
I had lots of fun. Have you done the Caritas Challenge?

Science
This term we are doing a science experiment. I'm doing "How salty does the sea have to be for an egg to float?"
Here is my background research:
Here is my Hypothesis:
I can't wait to start my experiment.
Have you done an Science experiment? If you have what was it?
Here is my background research:
When you put an egg in tap water it sinks, this is because the density of the egg is higher then the density of the tap water. But if you add enough salt the egg will float, this is because if you get the right amount of salt in the water the salt gives the tap water more density so water is higher in density then the egg. Water has a density of one. An egg has 1.031 g/cm3 density.
Credit:
Increasing the density of the water through adding salt will mean that the egg will float.
Here are the materials that I will need:
What I will need for my experiment:
- 5 eggs
- Salt
- 5 cups
- Water
- Measuring cup
Here is my Method:
I will have 5 eggs and 5 cups of water. The 5 cups will be numbered 1 - 5, in the 5 cups of water 1 will have no salt, 2 will have ½ a cup, 3 will have 1 cup of salt, 4 will have 1 ½ cups of salt and 5 will have 2 cups of salt.
I will have 5 eggs and 5 cups of water. The 5 cups will be numbered 1 - 5, in the 5 cups of water 1 will have no salt, 2 will have ½ a cup, 3 will have 1 cup of salt, 4 will have 1 ½ cups of salt and 5 will have 2 cups of salt.
I will leave them in the water for one hour.
When one hour is done I will see out of the 5 cup which one is floating of not.
I can't wait to start my experiment.
