This term we have been learning about space. There are so many different areas to space and so much to learn about our beautiful universe! It's such a fascinating topic and the most interesting thing I've learnt is how the seasons occur. Seasons are caused because of Earth's relationship with the sun. Once a year the earth orbits the sun. As it orbits, the amount of sunlight each place gets changes slightly everyday. But earth doesn't sit straight up and down, it sits at a tilt of 23.5 degrees. This means that the sun's light and heat will not be given equally in the 365 days.
I've learnt so much already about space and I can't wait to learn more about our universe!

A trip to India!!!
Over the holidays I was India!!!!! I had such a great time visiting family in India and saw many awesome places! The weather was perfect and the life was so much different to New Zealand!
The trip started with a very long and tiring flight to India. All of the flights to India were 17 hours altogether, which is a very looooooong time!! Once we reached New Delhi we went straight to my granddad and grandma's home. It was great to see them after such a long time!
After a day of relaxing and gaining some energy we went to see a mall in town. It was a big mall (double the size of Westfield mall) and I had a lot of fun shopping! After having a a look around and a bite, we went to the market to buy some fruit and vegetables and headed home!!!
The next few days we visited some awesome places, ate some great food and visited a wonderful temple!!! A highlight of the trip was the burning of Ravaan. I don't think you would've heard of It, It's to do with hindu tradition! It signifies the death of the demon king Ravaan. Hindus believe that Ravaan was killed by the God Ram!!! So once every year to celebrate the victory of good over evil statues are burnt all around India, It's pretty much Christmas for them! I was really happy to witness this event and thought it was an amazing sight!!!!
I had a lot of fun on this trip and it was a spectacular experience for me!!!!! I cannot wait to go back to India and will miss my grandparents very much!!!!!
