My Tree of Life
This is my tree of life. We learnt that in 1835, Charles Darwin discovered a number of animals, and made a theory that all animals are connected, or were connected millions of years ago. The animals that evolved had a better chance of surviving. At the bottom of the tree, there are the things that every animal evolved from.

Something in the Water!
On Monday, the whole school went to Immersion Assembly. Immersion Assembly is a Assembly we have in the hall at the start of each term. And finally, after the 2 week holiday we had, we had to go to Immersion Assembly.
After we had our team meeting, which we have everyday before we go to class or assembly, we got into our lines, and headed for the hall. I was excited about this term, because I didn't know what the theme for this term was. It was term 3, so I had my hopes up about what this term was going to be about. When our class got to the hall, and sat down, Mr Burt, who is our principal, told us that the theme for this term was 'Something in the Water', which means that we will be learning about things in the water.
After talking about what the theme for the term was, he showed us a whole lot of sea food, which were already cooked for us. Then I was excited! He gave some of the food to the prefects, who went around and gave out food. Then, while the prefects were doing there thing, it was time for the team 1 movie. The team 1's movie was about a team called S.O.F.A, who went around and helped endangered creatures. This time, they went to the Pt England Reserve, and tried to help the creatures. Then it was time for team 2, 3, and 4, who all talked about sea creatures.
Then it was time for team 5. Team 5, instead of talking about sea creatures, did a cool song about DNA, and cells, and other things that help our body. Then, after the last of the food was handed out, it was time to go back to class.
Overall, I am really excited for this term. I really hope we learn about sea creatures, as I love animals. I also hope we learn about how big the Ocean is. This term is going to be awesome!

What I know about Science
Before we do our inquiry, this is what I think of Science. When I think of Science, I think of brainy people who are specialized in what they do. I also know that they are many different types of Science. I also think of people who spend hour after hour on their 'projects' so that they are done. I also think that Scientists get paid well. Those are the main things I know about Science

Rotorua Day One
Last Friday, me and my rugby team went to Rotorua for a rugby tournament. The first thing we did was go down to Marist Rugby Club at 11:00 AM. Then, when we got there, we had to pack all of our stuff in the back of one of the vans taking us to Rotorua. After everyone got there, we split everyone up in half, which meant that half of us went in the van, and half of us went in one of the managers, Hine's, car. After about 20 Minutes, we all left to go to Rotorua.
While we were going there, I was in Hine's car, along with my fellow teammates Leon, Maddison, Kenneth, Siakupega (or Pega for short), and Troy. Before we went on the Motorway, we stopped at a gas station, where Hine got gas, and Leon bought some food and drink's to share on our journey. Then it was time for our long ride. The ride itself lasted about 5 Hours, including all the breaks, where in that time, we talked, laughed, slept, and listened to music. It was awesome! After we finally got to our Holiday Park, I looked around, and saw how wonderful it was. There were lots of plants, dinosaur statues, a big room which was two stories high and was where we were sleeping, and the coolest thing there was the heated inside pool near the entrance. When we stopped, I wished it could go on for longer, but I still happily grabbed my bags, and went to the house.
When we got inside, we were told where we were sleeping, put our bags there, and sat in the living room, ready for dinner. For dinner we had pizza, which we ate happily. After we ate our food, which was about 7:00 PM, the coaches said that we all had to stand up, and say a little bit about our self's. Around in order, the players, coaches, and supporters all said a bit about them. Then the coaches told us to get ready for the pools, so we all went into our cabins, and got our togs on. After we got our togs on, we all went down to the pools.
The pool was small, but awesome. It had a slide, a spa, but the spa was useless unless you wanted to be away from other people, as the pool was so warm, there was also a area the coaches said that we could bomb and dive and push other people into the pool. First, everyone went on the slide, which was fun, then, we swam in the water for a bit. Then, after going on the slide a few more times, and playing Marco Polo, we all went to the bombing area. We all jumped in the pool at least once, and then we started pushing each other in. After being in the pool for another 15 Minutes, it was time to head, which we were all sad about.
After we got changed into our Pajamas, we all played spotlight in our room. After playing spotlight for 10 Minutes, it was time for bed. We all went into bed, and even though it took me about an hour to get to sleep because, I still had a wonderful first day...

What is Colonization
Colonization is a way for people to take over land and rule over people. Colonization has been going on for thousands of years, and is still going on right now. Back in the day, people use to think that Colonization was ‘normal’. That’s horrible!
When people wanted to colonize, they would send hundreds, or even thousands, of men on boats to travel to different landmarks. When they got their (using compasses and maps), they would tell other people where they had settled. Some people would give the land straight away, but many people would not. If they said no, then a battle would start over who owned the land. Depending on who had the better weapons, depended on who would win. If the British invaded, they would almost always win as they built an empire. After the battle, whoever won would take the land.
There are lots of empires, but some are way better than others. The Inca empire were an empire who took over more than 10% of South America before being defeated by France. The Mongol empire covered the most landmass in history. They cover about half of asia in their terrible reign, and killed 5% of the world’s population. The British Empire had the largest population and even now there is a commonwealth of countries that they colonized.
Different people were treated differently when they were colonised. Some people ran away from the colonisers, others fought them and stayed and could continue their own life. If they lost the fight, however, they would have to live with others ruling over them, and they might have to change like learn another language.
