Mussel Investigation

On Friday we dissected mussels.  We learned all about them and how they work. I learned so many new things about mussels that I didn't know about. We learned all about them for camp as it is coming up in a few weeks. On camp we are going to the Marlborough Sounds and we will be learning all about marine life. I learned that if you keep them still out of water they can sometimes open their shells and you can see the inside. I never knew that until we learned about them on Friday. I can't wait to learn more stuff at Mistletoe Bay!

On Sunday we had a party with a few of mums friends. There was five adults and four kids. We barley have people over so having nine people was a lot for us.  I made lots and lots of pork dumpling with my dad, we made at least a hundred dumplings. we were literally in the kitchen making them for about two hours! Our friends brought some delicious vanilla cupcakes for desert.

But ended up with this:

What's In The News This Week?

This week I found out that Elon Musk changed his baby's name from X Æ A-12  to  X Æ A-Xii. 

This is simply from the California law. "In California, you can only use the '26 characters' of the English language in your baby's name," "Thus, you can't have numbers, accents, umlauts, other symbols or emojis. 

From this law Elon and Grimes had to change their baby's name. 

Personally I think naming your child a name like this is absurd, what do you think?
