Space-What I found interesting

In the past few weeks, we have been learning about Space. The thing I found most interesting was how the earth is on an angle  of 23.5 degrees. I also found the Seasons quite interesting because when the earth is tilted away from the sun it would be winter and there would be less daytime which means it would be dark for longer. In summer when the earth is close to the sun that means it would seem like a longer day. We also had to do a half page research on "something" and so my group chose to do the Nebula which is a cloud formed by dust, hydrogen, helium, gas and some other "stuff". (The nebulas look really awesome!!)
And that's a picture of it...

Term Three Holidays

In the holidays I went skiing on Mt Ruapehu.It took us four hours to get there by car and most of the time I was just listening to music and checking the whole way to see if we can stop by subway. I love Subway!!! Anyway, when we got to Ohakune we stayed at a chalet and it was right opposite the one we stayed at last year, which was really cool. On that day, we went up on the mountain, but there wasn't enough time to do actual skiing because all gear are meant to be returned at 4:00and we got there at about 3:30. So instead we had a snowball fight. It was fun, because I got to keep hitting my siter in the face. i enjoyed that a lot, but my sister got really annoyed because her hair got wet too... The next day we woke up really early and we got ready to go up on the mountain and actually ski. I had to put on two puffer jackets before my parents let me go.Normally every year when we come my sister and I normally take lessons, but this time we begged our mom to just let us go play. On our third day there(which was also our last day, I was already feeling confident, so my mom let me ski down the mountain all by myself. I did it four times and I also had to go on the chair lift by myself twice. I found going on a chairlift by myself a lot more scary than skiing down the mountain by myself because I'm really scared of heights. It took another four hours to get back home, and on the way we stopped twice for subway!!
