Why do Babies Need More Sleep Than Grown Ups




Babies have always needed more sleep then adults, the size of a baby judges how much sleep it needs. Toddlers and children grow every time they sleep but children don’t grow as fast as Babies. Children don’t need as much sleep then babies but they need more sleep than adults. Little ones don’t do much, they only sleep and eat.












Adults need sleep so they can have a good rest. Cell’s in their body’s that are worn a replaced by new ones. When they sleep it repairs their body’s, so they can be refreshed for another day at work.






Grown ups mostly need food for energy.But kid’s also need energy from food and to make muscles and bones. Food is vital to baby’s without it they won’t have energy to run around as lots of little ones like to do between the ages of 1 and 2.

What are Hieroglyphics?


Hieroglyphics are an ancient Text that is hard to spell and say. It is two Greek words meaning secret carving, it is a picture of some think familiar like a weapon or a syllable to a word. The Egyptians used them in tombs.


The name of these marks Hieroglyphics was given thousands of years ago in Egypt. They were found in temples and Palaces. Some of these buildings are still standing today, the marks can still be seen on them.


In 1799 a huge stone called Rosetta was discovered, Hieroglyphic writing was all over it but many language experts didn’t know what it meant. Luckily someone copied a more recent Egyptian language meaning on the bottom. Greek was also under the Egyptian writing which made it easier for a French expert to understand it.

Learning Cricket


“He’s out”!!!! How to play Cricket you say?? Well first thing is you need to find some space like a field then find some friends and a cricket coach. Then the cricket coach teaches how to play cricket. After you’ve have finished you get all the gear to play cricket.


Our teacher’s name’s were Hammond and Robin they were from Auckland Cricket. When I first saw Robin I thought he was Nathan Mcullum,but he wasn’t which disappointed me because I like Nathan Mcullum. For our first lesson we had smash the ball that was on a little T.


It was time for me to have a turn, I’m really nervous but I love Cricket it’s my fourth favoritism sport behind American Football and I’m really strong so I should smash this ball away. I grab the bat look out to my opposition and BOOM!!!!! The ball goes flying into the air, I quickly dash to the cone to get some runs I end up getting six runs.
