Check out this wonderful website called the Khan Academy. It started out with a guy making a few educational videos for his cousin and now has grown into a full on educational system!
It has over 2,000 videos on all sorts of different learning areas. It has a great section on Space which we will have a look at in class.

When Cloud 9 gets back after the holidays we are going to set some goals for term 2.
Instead of writing them in our books I thought we could use Extranormal to make them. Extranormal is a cool website where you can use text to make movies.
Street Talk was such a success last term that Cloud 9 are going to continue making it in term 2.
If you want to find out more about Street Talk or just watch some of the old episodes you can now go to our Street Talk Blog. The Blog features everything you ever wanted to know about Street Talk!
Next term we are planning on making Street Talk bigger and better than term 1. Watch this space!
This week’s hands-on homework task is to visit the newly renovated Te Manawa Museum. Te Manawa is a fantastic educational centre that has only recently reopened after a major renovation.
I thought this would be a great thing to do in the school holidays. If you are really keen, Te Manawa also have a specially designed School Holiday Programme.
Anyone who visits Te Manawa and sends me a photo to my e-mail can have a dot when they return to school.
So what are you waiting for? Go ask mum or dad if they can take you!
