Where is New Zealand??

Maps are made, software is produced, globes are designed, sometimes without New Zealand!!
If we're missing does it really matter? Probably, no one will miss us because most people it seems don't actually know where we are. Imagine if Australia, France, USA and other big countries were missing!! People would be insulted and upset.👿💀😡

Scientists Find That Black Holes Burp

Did you know that black holes burp? Just like humans! A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light cannot get out.

So why do they burp??? Well they burp because they sometimes have too much gas in them so they burp and release out all their gases. They get their gases from star clusters and planets and much more!

Baby Bird Discovered at P.E.P

It was an interesting day in the library when I was doing my job putting the iPad's out. Mrs Osborne was turning her P.C on and talking to me and I said "bird, bird!!!"  She said "where?" I said "on the recently returned trolley". She said "catch it". I tried but it was hard but then I finally caught it and then I put it outside in the garden. Ten minutes later Devon came and we saw it jump out of the garden. We told Mrs Osborne and we picked it up and put it near the library door and big windows and we gave it some bird seeds. It was a happy bird after we gave it some bird seeds, it ate a lot and about 20 minutes later the bell rang. At 9:30 we came to Media Team and the bird was gone. I asked Mrs Osborne where did the bird go? she said it flew away with its family.
