Mary Mackillop

One day my school went to mary mackillop centre In mission bay. We met the sisters of saint Joseph and one of the sisters told us a story about when she taught at our school. Her name is sister Elizabeth and she said that she knows some of the teachers from our school she taught. After that we went to the museum. At the museum I saw a statue and it wasn't just any statue it were a statue of Saint Joseph.

When we finished exploring the museum we went into a room where all the sisters were seated. They told us when they started teaching at our school and when they started to be a teacher. They said how much they love being a sister of Joseph.

When they finished talking we ate our lunch. While we were eating our lunch they were giving out cups to people so that we can have juice,I had some juice and it were delicious.

Later on we went back on the bus back to school. I had a really great time at mission bay and I really learnt a lot. I am looking forward to going there again.

The avengers

The avengers is a book about super heroes that fight for their country. Steve Rogers wanted to be a superhero so he took part in an army  experiment called the project of rebirth. It made Steve very big and strong. Steve became America's first super soldier and he was called captain america,he was the first avenger. Captain America was always fighting for justice but not long during world war II captain America was stopping the plane of bombs and then the plane got lost while captain America was saving the world. My favourite character is captain America because he can save the world and he can make people go very far by using his powerful shield.

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.

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.

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 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!!!
