Hello Everyone,

Artemis II was NASA’s first crewed Artemis mission and sent four astronauts around the Moon before returning them safely to Earth in April 2026.

The crew were Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen. Their flight was a major test of the Orion spacecraft and an important step in NASA’s plan to return humans to the Moon and prepare for future missions to Mars.

The mission lasted nearly 10 days and took the astronauts on a huge loop around the Moon rather than landing on it. NASA said the crew completed many important milestones during the trip. One of the most exciting was that Artemis II passed the Apollo 13 record for the farthest crewed spaceflight.

As well as flying far into space, the astronauts tested how Orion worked with people on board. That included checking the spacecraft’s systems for living and working in deep space, and proving that it could protect a crew during the fiery journey back through Earth’s atmosphere. These tests matter because future Artemis missions aim to explore the Moon in greater detail.

The Artemis programme is bigger than one flight. NASA says its goal is to return humans to the Moon, build a long-term presence there and use what is learned to help send people to Mars. Artemis II was a key mission because it showed that astronauts can travel beyond low-Earth orbit in Orion and come back safely.

There were many amazing facts about the mission. The astronauts saw the far side of the Moon, travelled hundreds of thousands of miles, and completed a journey that only a small number of humans have ever made. For children reading about space today, Artemis II is a reminder that exploring the Moon is not just part of history. It is happening again now.

Thank you for reading

over the weekend I went to a BBQ with my family and pushed my dad into the pool because he was being a whimp and was saying the water was too cold for him so I made him tuffen up by shoving him into the pool and laughing at him. the next day I spent the night at my cousin’s house and we went to micdonols for lunch and then we went shopping with a $50 budget each so we got a lot of diffrent stuff from different places and thing so that was a good day.

Hi everyone My name is Amber, today in reading we have done this work sheet about pickles we put down what we think is the best things together and things we think and not good together. I hope you really like it and what is your favourite foods together that you think are really good together and another thing you think is not good together and why? bye guys see you next time. don’t forget to comment on blog and have a great day. and make someone smile.

This week (week 9) we did lots of reading for this week I would like to share you this and hope you enjoy.

Firstly we did some silent reading my book was hocus pocus by Laura Milligan um pretty sure my other one was reasons to not grow up I do not know who was the author but its a comic book, after that we usually do something on our Chromebooks it is like when we do the text we read i, then we highlighted some important bits, or we read a text and write some answers on the side. If we finish early we can do some can dos for example typing club, wordle and boggle which is my  favourite can dos. Today we did the why did the store run out of  pickles Mr Jones the store manager said a famous chef on tik tok made a combo with ice cream. it is a weird combo!

Do you have any delicious or gross food combos? say it in the comments!

BYE!

HIII!!

Today for work we read this short story about a store in Auckland NZ ran out of pickles because a famous chef put a salty pickle on ice cream and everyone wanted to try it! Next to the story on the right there are two questions the first one was “what are two food combinations that you think is good and what food combinations do you think are bad?” And second one was “How is the news paper article different from the story about the firey mango?” which is another story we read on Monday. What food combinations do you think is good? And what food combinations do you think is bad? Tell me in the comments! Byeee

Here is my work

if you cant read it my answers were:

Good: Banana and chocolate, and melted candy with grapes.

Bad: Chocolate and fish, and tomato sauce and ice cream.

Firey mango: The mango was spicy and the pickle was salty.

Today we were doing a worksheet that had a little story about the store running out of pickles because of a viral video on tictok  of a chef   using a pickle and put it on some ice cream . This is my worksheet . I hope you like it Please leave me a comment .

These  last few weeks we have been learning about how to write a story using show not tell . My story is about a girl named Rosie who trades in the sea and wants to sell everything so she made it her goal  . I made sure my story has a title a W.A.L.T and correct punctuation . I hope you like it . Please leave me a comment .

Trading in the ocean

Hello everyone

Did you know that

The United Nations has warned that Earth’s climate is now in a “state of emergency” as global warming speeds up and its effects grow stronger.

A new report from the World Meteorological Organisation said the past 11 years have been the hottest ever recorded, mainly because human activities are adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. The report found that last year was the second or third hottest year on record, with the world about 1.43C warmer than it was before large-scale industrial activity began. UN Secretary-General António Guterres said every major climate sign is “flashing red” and called for urgent action.

The report explained that extra heat is building up in the atmosphere and oceans while ice continues to melt. More than 90% of this extra heat is being absorbed by the oceans, which are warming faster and helping to push sea levels higher. Sea level rise is now close to five millimetres each year around the world. Scientists said this can increase the risk of flooding in coastal areas and make storms more dangerous.

Dr Lauren Vargo from Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington said the findings matched decades of scientific warnings. She said that although slightly warmer weather might sound pleasant to some people in New Zealand, the risks and costs are far greater than any small benefits. She warned that floods, heatwaves and wildfires are becoming more frequent and more intense. These events can damage homes, roads, nature and people’s health.

MONEY TIMELINE by Minuthi Manikkuwawadu

Hello Readers

this week at inquiry we were learning about money  and how money has changed from past to so me and my buddy eva did our own time line  it took as four days to make this we had  a link to go and it was all about the money that has changed over time i hope you like my work please comment about my work

thanks

Minuthi

For science we (my class and I) have been learning about the process of fossilisation and I have prepared a comic for you, I hope you like it.

The first two boxes are the Dinosaurs death, the next the three are its quick burial, after that its the permineralisation (when the tissues turn tostone) then the fossil is dug up and showcased in a museum.

I hope you liked my blog. if there is anything I can improve on please tell me. bye (=

Hello my name is Kyle, I am from Hornby High School and what we had to do for science was make a cartoon or animation of how fossils were made.

• death and quick burial:  when a dinosaur dies its soft parts rot away or get eaten,
• Turning into rock: Over millions of years  water goes inside them. This water carries bits of minerals. These minerals fill up the tiny holes in the bone and slowly  turn it to rock.
• Discovery: Millions of years later wind and rain washes away the top layers. This makes it easier for a palaeontologist.

How a fossils were made by Kyle Xyrus De Lun

Hello Readers

Over the last 2 science lesson we have been learning about what are fossils and how fossils are formed, and our task was to create a animation/cartoon, about how fossils are formed.

What Are Fossils & How They Are Formed?

Fossils are the preserved remains, or traces of ancient organisms, plants, animals, and microbes, that are generally over 10,000 years old or older. There are two types of fossils, Trace Fossils like Dinosaur footprints, and Bone Fossils which are the bones of animal that bones have been turned into rocks and later put into museums if found by human beings.

Once a something dies its quickly buried with sediment then after a long period of time it gets compacted with a lot of soil, after that the bones gets turned into rocks, to become a fossil, then after millions of years. Humans will find it then it’ll be in the museum for a long time.

This took me a very long time to do, I hope you liked it and a good rest of your day Bye.
