Layers of earth

In science we learnt about the different layers of earth. The crust is the thinnest layer of earth.The mantle is the thickest layer of earth. The mantle is the layer under the crust.Then under the mantle is the outer core.The outer core is a liquid.Under the outer core is the inner core the inner core is the hottest layer of earth.The inner core is a solid because of the pressure of the other layers on top.

Volcanoes

In science our new topic is all about volcanoes.A volcano is an opening in the earth's crust.The liquid the comes out of the volcano is called lava.But when the liquid is under ground it is called magma.The top of the volcano is called the crater.The part in the middle of the volcano is called the main vent.The main vent is the part where the magma goes to reach the surface. Mauna loa is the largest volcano on earth and it is located in Hawaii.Hawaii is mainly made up of volcanoes.In Auckland there is 53 volcanoes 50 of them is active. 

Social studies

In social studies we have been learning about 3 different migrations theory.One theory shows that Polynesians come from Hawaiiki. Some people left there island in Hawaiiki to prove their theory that Polynesians came from Hawaiiki. Some people also escaped because of warfare.When they left the island of Hawaiiki there canoe landed at north-east coast of Rēkohu. Another theory said that Polynesians come from south america.One way that they got evidence was by looking at kumara. The last theory says that Polynesians come from Asia. They believe that Polynesians come from Asia is because they were looking at la-pita pottery and they also found la-pita pottery in other Polynesian islands.  The theory that I believe is that Polynesians came from Asia because Asia has more connections with Polynesians and Asia also has more evidence.

Social studies

 In Social studies we watched a video about two people named Oscar and Nathen. Oscar and Nathen were on a journey to find out there place of origin.They started there journey by taking a swab test and sending it to oxford.When they got their results they went to Mahia the place where Nathen grew up.When the got to Mahia they were welcomed with a Powhiri .After the Powhiri Oscar , Nathen and Nathens parents gathered around to open Nathens results for his swab test. Nathens results show that his Mum is from America and Nathens dad is a descendent of Maui. Then they went to their second destination which is Rarotonga. They went to Rarotonga to see the 7 stones and to learn more about the Maori culture. After they visited Cook island they went to Samoa to open Oscars results. Before they opened Oscars results they went to church because church is a very important thing for Oscars family.Then Oscar opened his result and it showed that he is that his maternal descendant of Ina in East Eur Asia.Then they went to Vanuatu where they looked at la pita poetry .After that the arrived at there last destination which is Taiwan.In Taiwan they met someone named Niwa and they went with Niwa to a museum that is all about Taiwan history.Then they talked about the two different cultures and they compared they also ate some rat meat.
