The asteroid that passed close to New Zealand




Experts have announced that a newly discovered asteroid flew close to earth 3 days ago at 6am in the morning. The asteroid was the size of a small house soured directly over New Zealand. If you were in space you could get killed straight away. The asteroid ended up in America on a corn field.


The asteroid was 18m and was 40,000 kilometers away from earth. If you were in space you could see the asteroid with a telescope.

The tree with forty fruit






A guy named Sam Van is an award winning professor who created a tree of forty fruit. The tree has  different fruit on it and it grows really big. The fruit on the tree are peaches, plums, apricots, nectarines, cherries and even almonds. Sam has placed sixteen unique forty fruit trees around the USA museums, community centres and even private art collections.

They visit twice a year to collect the graphs for the future trees.   It takes five years for the tree to develop and then another four years to produce the whole forty fruits.

Abandoned baby found with a litter of puppies



A stray dog found an abandoned baby in a forest in Kenya.The dog carried the baby across a busy road and through a barbed wire fence back to her litter of puppies in a very poor neighbourhood in Nairobi,where she would care for the baby as one of her own. A local resident,Lonet Gogany later found the baby among the puppies after local boys reported that they heard a baby crying. It is believed the baby was abandoned 2 days before the dog found her. The baby was taken to a nearby hospital but so far no one has claimed her.
The dog who saved her is now with her puppies at an animal shelter.

Solar oven
By: Anastazia
Solar ovens are designed to cook food by using sunlight and reflective materials to produce heat. The light waves created by sunlight carried a lot of heat and warmth. Solar ovens prove to be safe and effective under good conditions when there is good sunlight. The temperature inside a solar oven can reach up to 300 degrees and it can cook food. Solar ovens are used by some because of their environmental benefits and it does not cause pollution.  Sun is a natural form of energy. Why not use it?

A virtual baby says first words



National
Virtual baby says first words.

At Auckland University they have made a 3D image like a human. She can talk, see and hear. She can even smile because her artificially - intelligent brain releases dopamine when she is praised. They did it because its technology inside this computer will help children read and maybe used by teachers in school. Her name is baby X.
When she thinks it is thought that she has done something good. They hope that the technology inside this computer will help children read and maybe used by teachers in school to help other children.  What an amazing technology!!!

pony magic




Pony magic


Pony magic is a book about magic ponies
that come alive and is really amazing. One of the ponies name is lot-tie and she is really cute. Lot-tie has lots of powers that she uses every day. I think this book is a good book because it is really interesting and it is really enjoyable. I think this book should be for ages 7 and over because it has hard words and i think every kid would love it.

I would rate this book a 8 out of 10 because the author wrote a lot of information about the ponies and I really like it. They described the book really well and they put a lot of effort into it. I think that the author did a great job.
