Waimaria Reading the boat races

Today I have been reading about the boat races.   We have been learning  to Description of what the boat look like.

Ancient Greece

A long time ago  in Syracuse,  Ancient Greece   there was a great  mathematician name  Archimedes. One day when  he was taking a bath he discovered something  life changing. When he got in  some water got  displaced and it overflowed  over the bath tub.

Archimedes discovery got him   thinking.  He was  so excited that he ran through the streets without any clothes on shouting Eureka ! Eureka ! This meant that I have found it in greek.

He figure out if you put something in water and it is lighter  than the among of water being  displaced, the object  will float. This is known as buoyancy or the Archimedes principle. So if the object can float it is buoyant.

Do you want to known where I went when the baby was born? I went to my uncle's house. I was so overjoyed that we went there. Me and my cousins were so jolly.

“The baby was born at 3:15 pm, that is late”. I said to my mum. She is so cute. "I was so jolly to see her". I said to my mum

Now there you have it. I  was overjoyed over all. I most enjoyed seeing the baby. I hope next time that the  baby won't cry on me.
