Monday 1st September:
Sunrise: 6:43 a.m
Sunset: 6:00 p.m

It's not spring without a few showers in the morning! Chances of rain across Auckland is expected to rise and to drop throughout the day, big chances! Let us just be thankful the north easterly winds will ease down to a big, but still nice, 23 kilometres per hour. We might not see the sun clearly since cloud will probably block it, and the evening after may also be filled of clouds.

High: 15 or 18 degrees Celsius
Low: 11 or 13 degrees Celsius

Tuesday 2nd September:
Sunrise: 6:41 a.m
Sunset: 6:01 p.m

Tuesday, unlike Monday, has a few showers, but will be having small chances of rain, probably 10% or 20%. Even with these types of chances, we still have 90% or 80% of the full day of no rain. Of course, there are showers, as said here, and a few clouds, with the evening being cloudy or clear. Light easterlies go up to about 19 kilometres per hour.

High: 17 degrees Celsius
Low: 9 or 8 degrees Celsius

Wednesday 3rd September:
Sunrise: 6:40 a.m
Sunset: 6:02 p.m

Wednesday has a few showers in the morning or day, but will soon pass. We have only a 10% chance of having rain, but don't worry, 10% of rain means, 90% clear skies. Light winds reach up to 16 kilometres per hour as it goes into the night.

High: 16 or 17 degrees Celsius
Low: 13-10 degrees Celsius

Thursday 4th September:
Sunrise: 6:38 a.m
Sunset: 6:03 p.m

Thursday is almost similar to Tuesday and Monday combined. It's overcast for us, with rain probably turning into rain as the day goes by. Winds are rising drastically, some gusts would go up to 37 kilometres per hour. Later in the evening, the gusts will ease down to a slow, yet fast, 18 kilometres per hour. At night, it will be partly cloudy, but, if there's a chance, clear, but if not, partly cloudy for the night.

High: 17-20 degrees Celsius
Low: 11-14 degrees Celsius

Friday 5th September:
Sunrise: 6:37 a.m
Sunset: 6:03 p.m

Chance of a
storm?

To end the school week, it is the same as Thursday, Tuesday, and Monday combined. Some sunshine with a few showers. Small but still high chances of rain, reaching up to 30% of rain for the day. Northwesterly winds are expected to reach up to 24 degrees in the daytime, but will ease down to a small 6 kilometres per hour.

Slapped Cheek

There has been an outbreak of Slapped Cheek at schools in Auckland.

Slapped Cheek is a common childhood illness that affects children mostly under the age of 10. It causes bright red cheeks - like you've been slapped. It is a mild disease and most children experience only mild symptoms such as:

1. Low grade fever
2. Chills
3. Headache
4. Body ache
5. Sore throat
6. Diarrhea

These symptoms improve after 3-7 days and then a rash develops. It is spread by close contact, coughing, and sneezing, so encourage your children to cover their mouths when coughing and to wash their hands.

• The rash starts with firm, bright red cheeks that are burning hot (hence the name 'Slapped Cheek')
• A fine, red, lace-like rash then develops on the child's body, arms and legs
• The rash may be itchy and may seem to fade away and flare up when the child is hot or upset
• The rash usually lasts up to 2 weeks, but may last up to 6 weeks
• Slapped Cheek is a virus so there is no specific treatment

Our school nurse suggests you keep your child at home because Slapped Cheek is infectious before it is diagnosed, and to provide:

1. Rest
2. Panadol to relieve fever
3. Cold flannels to cheeks (comfort)
4. Encourage oral fluids

It is important to avoid contact with pregnant woman in first trimester of pregnancy (can cause iron deficiency & miscarriage) and people who have a low immunity.

'Perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun System' Report

Supermoon in New Zealand.

The perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun System, or in this case, the supermoon.

The moon filled our skies on Sunday night, and early Monday morning. It was the second of three supermoons to be with us this year. Across the world people have been staying up or watching to see the moon, as it was said to be the closest to earth in its orbit in 20 years, so it was not an opportunity to miss. Unless, you missed out.

What is a supermoon?
A supermoon is the coincidence between a full moon or a new moon with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its oval orbit.

With this happening it has been claimed to be responsible for large earthquakes and tsunamis (the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami and the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami), but so far, there has been no evidence for this theory.

Some people around the world predicted the end of the world as the supermoon was coming, but don't worry, we're still here!

At exactly 6:25 in the morning, I saw the moon, bigger than before, after being informed from the news. With the sun shining on the other side, it looked magnificent.

Another time was about 5:45 earlier that morning, but I had missed that time since I had went back to sleep mode.

The next supermoon will occur on September the 9th or September the 28th, it's not certain but you never know! It may be happening right now (actually, it's not)...
