In Inquiry we learned about the sun.The sun is very hot and if you look directly at it it will hurt your eyes.If your guessing how old the sun is it is 4.5 billion years old.When you look at the sun from here is looks small but when you go really close to it is REALLY HUGE.The sun is 75% hydrogen and 25% helium.
In Inqury we learned about the Earth and the Moon.We learned about waxing and waning, crescent and gibbous, the far side of the moon and the close side of the moon.

Dear diary,
It was 6 am and we landed at gallipoli.I was getting changed for the army, I thought it was going to be cool but it was a nightmare.I prayed before i went and kissed my mum and my brothers and my dad.We dug to make the trenches.The turkey army came we held up our guns ready to fight.I had a sniper and a rifle.We saw the turkeys coming up so the commander said FIRE!Our whole team was shooting at them and we killed heaps.They found there spots to protect them.I got my rifle and shot at so many turkeys.I was so scared i thought i was going to die straight away.So many lives were killed i was freaking out.I saw my teammate and he got sniped in the head and his head came out.His body landed on me and i was shocked.We were killing them and most of them were dead.I pulled out my sniper and tried to snipe some people there was a guy aiming at me and he shot me i got hurt, i screamed.He shot me in the arm but my whole arm didn’t come off.I told my teammate to give me a bandage because i was hurt.As soon as he gave it to me he got shot in the face.I felt like i was having a heart attack.5 people in there team had a machine gun and they were shooting at us just holding the trigger without letting go.I sniped 2 of the people who had the machine gun.I had to reload but i dropped my bullets because my hands were sweating hard out.I killed 2 more who had the machine gun and there was 1 more left.I had no more bullets so i got my rifle and it had a sharp knife on it and ran straight at him and killed him with the knife there was blood all over me.They all surrendered and ran away.

Dear diary,
It was the next day and we won against the turkeys yesterday.It was 8:00 in the morning and we were hungry.We had bean soup and bread.Then after we ate someone chucked a bomb at us then i screamed BOMB IN THE HOUSE GET COVER!Then the bomb exploded and 5 people from our team got exploded.The turkeys were firing us we all went in the trenches to get cover.They had more people from yesterday and the commander said CHUCK ALL YOUR BOMBS TO THEM.They were stronger than yesterday as well.Everyone got there rifles and sprayed at them.I saw my teammates and they were all dying i was scared so i got my sniper and sniped the machine gun guy.Most of our team died so i picked up the mine that was next to me and set a 10 second timer on it.I chucked it to them in the middle then the time and it was 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 ,5 ,4, 3 ,2 ,1 then it exploded BOOM!Most of their team died then they thought they were going to win but they surrendered again.They ran away and went to their army.They all went back and we won again.The commander said well done we beat them again then we celebrated.The commander said to us good job.

Dear Diary,
It was the end of the war and we finally finished.We all celebrated, we all cheered and I yelled we WON!We had to leave Gallipoli on our boats.I prayed to God and I said thank you God for helping all of us win the war.I hope my Parents and brothers are all right in New Zealand.I was sitting with my friends in the boat and we were saying jokes and laughing heaps.We all had broken arms, bandages everywhere on our bodys, broken teeth and other broken stuff but we are still alright.We finally arrived in New Zealand.The commander said to everyone gather up i need to talk to all of yous.We all came in and the commander said well done and other words.He told us to go home and everyone said bye to each other.I said bye to my friends and the commander.I saw my car and went to it i looked in my mirror and said i’m back.I drove to my house it was a 15 minute drive.I was here and i said this house doesn’t look different at all.I knocked on the door and hid behind the wall.My brother opened it and i surprised him.He was in a shock and surprised at the same time.My brother said YOUR BACK!He yelled at his family and said to everyone and said he’s back.They came and they saw him and everyone was surprised.The mum said welcome back.The dad said hello son back home.Everyone hugged him and his mum kissed him on the cheeks.His mum told him to come inside and tell him all about the war.
THE END
In reading we learned about Hornby Primary's war memorial (i don't go to Hornby Primary school).This war memorial was made in 1921.If you want to see it it is in Hornby Christchurch.There is 90 names on Hornby primarys war memorial.
See you next time.
In reading the teacher gave us Anzac questions.It was kind of easy and it was fun.Anzac day is an important day because they helped us and protected our country.Anzac day stands for Australia New Zealand Army Corps.
Have you done this before?
In inquiry we learned about the planet earth.There are four layers but we only learned about 4 of them.They are called the Crust, the Mantle, the outer core and the inner core.The Crust is the top layer and we are standing on it today.The mantle is what makes the sun hot.It has lava and it is 500 degrees Celsius (500c).There is something called a outer core, it is hotter then the sun.Without the outer core the earth will be very different.There is something else called a the inner core and it is made up of the same metals as the outer core.
