My Planet Oshaveria

Hello People 

I hope you all had a great school holiday, I sure did. In class, we have been learning about space and we had an activity sheet. One of the activities was to create my own planet and make a drawing of what the planet would look like. My Planet name is Oshaveria (osh-a-v-ear-ee-a) And its the planet of darkness. Here is my drawing, Its actually an animation where the stars and the moon is flashing but sadly I couldn't download it so the moon is only one colour and the stars are normal :( Please tell me what you think of my planet and tell me what I could do next time.

Beauty in the World

Kia Ora Everybody!

Lately in class, we were learning about Matariki and the Southern lights. Matariki is a special star constellation that is really important throughout New Zealand and the Maori culture. 

The stars are used to identify how good the harvest will be, The brighter the stars, the better the harvest. Matariki is also the start of the Maori New year. 

The Southern Lights are a beautiful set of colors that appear in the sky in all different shapes and sizes. The Colours are normally green but sometimes you can see red and blue.

You can go look at them in an "auroral zone" near the Arctic in the North and the Antarctic in the South. The southern lights are made by the Collision of charged particles with atoms within our atmosphere.

For our Activity, we did some art, First, we ripped some paper for our mountains and stuck it to some black paper, Next, we got some white paint and splattered it onto our paper to make the effect of stars. We then did our effect of the southern lights. Lastly, we did our Matariki, here is a photo of my finished art. Please tell me what you think and what I could do work on next time, Thanks a bunch!
