A moment in time
SLOW DOWN!!!!!!! It was time to go on the rhibs. After we put all our safety gear on we burst into action and went by the rhib boats. We had to climb up this ladder to get on the boats. There were four seats in the front and four seats in the back. I was sitting in the front where all the action was. We were getting lowered into the water we started of slow, then only a couple seconds later ZOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We blasted over the wave we had already made when we were going slow. Every time we went over a wave I felt like we were going to tip over.

Hydroponics

WALT: We are learning about hydroponic systems

    Why did I choose this design?

I picked this design because it was really simple to draw and the sun can directly shine onto the plants to make them grow. Also there's a little funnel for the water to run down. I put my pipes on a slight angle so the water can run down the pipe slowly.

What I found hard was trying to make the sun shine directly onto the plant.

What I found easy was to draw the picture that is shown up top.

What would you find hard or easy? 

Seven Sisters Of Matariki

WALT: We are learning to retell Maori legends.

Seven Sisters of Matariki

Once there was a man named Mitai who lived with his six handsome brothers. Their names were Tom, Bob, Nathan, Josh, Ashton and John. They went hunting up Mount Camel and they saw the most beautiful wahine in the world. The wahine had long, golden hair and their skin was so light, it shone so bright. The men fell immediately in love. The men took them back to make them their wives.The wives ate anything but vegetables. If they saw any kind of vegetable they would scream! One night the men had made dinner and they accidently put a piece of carrot in one of the wahines plates. The wahines names were April, Blair, Brooke, Libby, Chloe and Lilly. The one that screamed was Brooke. She said “if you do this one more time I’m moving out!” The men said, ”Noooooooooooooooooo!!!  “Please don’t go!” “Well don’t do that again!” Mitai was suspicious of the wahine. Mitai was spying on the wahine when he saw six Kereru and surprisingly enough, one more fly out. He turned into a Dove and followed the wahine. They made a plan to starve the men to death. So the men made a plan to capture the wahine. They got a magic net and as the wahine were flying away, the men jumped up and captured the wahine. Mitai threw them up into the sky and every Winter Solstice Mitai lets them shine again.
