Ares 1-X Rocket

This is a video of the Ares 1-X Rocket finally being launched on Thursday 29th October 2009. NASA is trying to return astronauts to the moon instead of the space shuttle programme. The test launch did not have astronauts inside it this time but eventually it will. During the past 3 years it has cost $620 million and it was all over in 2 minutes. Do you think sending astronauts to the moon is a good idea?

Terry The Tiger - Week 5 Term 3

Hi People! It's me again, Terry!!! This week I went home with K.D.

On Friday, K.D. and I were on the computers, and K.D. was playing on Poptropica. On Saturday, it was really special because there was a soccer game between K.D.'s Team which is City and another team which I don't know. But all I know was that I was sitting on the Gear Bag and I was looking at K.D.'s Team chatting about how we're going to win!!! At the end of the Game, it was the most horrible time ever!! Because the score was 0 and about like 6 mill :( -_-"!!!

Soon, we went to a special place, it was K.D's grandmother's house!!! But before that we went to McDonald's!! K.D. had an Ice Age 3 combo and I just ordered patties!! And now we went to K.D.'s grandmother's house! I saw K.D's cousin which is B.Z.

On Sunday we went to a walkway, it took half an hour/30 minutes to get from the beginning to the finish!!! After, we went to Titirangi Beach!! There was a laminated swing (stuck together), a motorbike, a swing and a side car, but of course... THE SEASIDE VIEW!!!!!!!! But wait, we also went to Olympic park and K.D. got an apple juice!! And there was this big as red spider-web looking like thing that was about the same height as a Brachiosaurus :O!!

Sighs happily, "It was the best time yet that I've gone home with a student!" :D (K.D. also gave me a badge on my fishing coat! :)
