Trillion Trek Vist

Today Trillion Trek came to Mangonui school. They came in funny cars and some cars were crazy. There were fire trucks, police cars.

 

My favourite thing was seeing the magician. I liked it  when he had some cards and put one down. Then he will squeeze and squeeze and then the cards will get smaller and smaller and then turned inadvisable. He says " hey, pick up the cards, I dropped them by your foot ". I could not believe my eyes.

People dressed up. I hugged Elmo and he was extremely soft. I saw the person inside Elmo. She was a girl.

I got a red bag with a new drink bottle, a ruler, a pen, an activity book and lots and lots of lolly. When we walked past a person with lollies they will say " open up your bag and I will give you some lollies". he would say in a friendly way.

Skin And Brain Facts

Skin is so so important.

You have two layers of skin. The top layer is called Epidermis. The bottom layer is called Dermis.

The more Melanin you have, the darker skin you will have. If you stand in the sun to long you will get more Melanin, there for you have darker skin.

If your skin is not stretchy, when you grow your skin will get tight. It will be hard to swim, walk and run etc.

There is three main parts of your brain.
 The biggest part is the cerebellum. The cerebellum controls our emotion, balance and new thing we learn.
The cerebrum controls our thoughts, and imagination.
The brain stem controls our heart beat.

Dolphins have brains similar in size and proportion to humans, suggesting that they can perform similar functions to the human brain.

Birds brain are mostly concerned with movement. Their behaviour is controlled by instincts - they don't need to be shown how to build  nest.


That is why skin is important.
