Stars

Stars can be seen at night.

Stars are in different sizes. Large stars are called giants or super giants. Smaller stars are called dwarfs.

Stars are in different colours. They can be red, yellow, blue or white.

Stars are made of very hot gases. Stars grow bigger and bigger and redder as the gas burns up. Then they shrink to be a small white dwarf star.

Some giant stars explode at the end of their lives. There are stars by themselves. There are double stars which are in pairs.

Large groups of stars are called galaxies. There are lots of galaxies in the universe.

The No Goat Zone

The billy goat family lived on rocky mountain. Every day the goats came down the mountain and went through the forest. They walked across the bridge. They went to the village to look for food. They ate apples and olives in autumn. In winter they ate bread. The goats ate grapes and buds in spring. They ate corn in summer. They were happy. The people were not happy. They made scarecrows  so the goats won’t eat the food.

Mary Mackillop

We went to Mary Mackillop Centre. I saw the sisters welcoming us. I was so happy because they were smiling at us.

First, Bronson gave a welcoming speech in the chapel. It was a very open and spacious place.

We met Sister Elizabeth, one of the first teachers at CTK. The view was beautiful. We could see Rangitoto from the convent. It is a volcano. After that we ate lunch and the sisters gave us lollies and drinks. After we finished our lunch, the sisters said good bye to us and we came back to our school.
