Imagination land Part 1


Once there was a land called imagination land. Imagination land was a place where all of the things from people's imaginations went to stay. But there were two sides of this land one half had all of the good imaginary things and the other half had all of the bad imaginary things on it.


There is this boy his name is Timmy. He has a very active imagination. Timmy says that there is a land called imagination land. He says that he goes to imagination land in his spare time and he see’s all his favourite characters he could ever imagine. Since I started using my imagination I started seeing this land, It is amazing, I never thought it was possible to travel through different dimensions to new lands but now I know its true.


I’ve been visiting this land for a couple of months now and it seems the bad guys are breaking through the imagination gate. This hasn't happened in a couple thousand years now. “ATTENTION ALL OF MY FELLOW GOOD GUYS, WE ARE ABOUT TO BE ATTACKED BY THE BAD GUYS SO GET IN BATTLE POSITIONS NOW PLEASE”


“Humpty are we going to be okay” I asked “hopefully” Humpty Dumpty replied. A few hours later. “Oh no the gates almost broken” Spongebob cried.


CRASH BANG BOOM! ROAR!

Optimist yachting reflection

Optimist yachting day 1 by tycam209 on GoAnimate
Reflection for
Something I was pleased with was how most people participated in yachting and kayaking because its a great opportunity for us to get out on the yacht.
I really enjoyed learning how keep the yacht afloat because if the yacht was right about to tip we would know how to get it back to normal.


Something I found hard was walking across the kayaks because the boats would always move in and out
Something that made me think was that we have to put our right hand on the blue tape because if we put our left hand on the blue tape I would be holding the paddle upside down.
Something I want to get better at is steering that yacht in the right direction.
I can find where the wind is coming from then I can tack towards the right buoy


My next goal is to sail a yacht on my own

Earthquake


 We saw the pool water swaying like a washing machine out of control and then Suddenly we felt a mighty shake...

 My brothers and I were chilling on the couch and our parents were in the other room glued to the TV. We saw the pool water swaying like a washing machine out of control and then we felt a mighty shake. it sounded like a lion roaring as loud as it could. Then my mum zoomed into the room and shouted “get under the table now”. We flew under the table and we grappled the legs tightly. It was terrifying. The world was shaking like never before. I could hear glasses smashing. I could see pictures falling off shelves . We were screaming as the walls started caving in. The ground was getting more unstable by the minute. Then a fire started in the kitchen, from our dinner burning to a crisp. there was no way out of the rubble. The trembling would not stop. “Boys are you ok” a faint voice asked, “yes” we replied. We heard some rubble tumbling out of the way. Then we saw the light, It was Mum and Dad, “Thank god you're alright I was worried sick” Mum said thankfully. “ So that's what the sun looks like” I replied. We’re alive for now. “Lets hope this doesn't happen again”

This writing was inspired by the Wellington earthquake.

My Journey to the Trash Vortex

What up I’m Skids the plastic bag and this Is my incredible journey to the TRASH VORTEX.

I started out as a clean plastic bag in a nice house. Ok who pooped themself OH The BABY.
Eww I hate those things. There so sloppy and runny. Oh no you didn’t just put me in that trash can. HEY get me out of here. Thats why they call me skids. Yay it’s travel time. Wait this is a dump truck. That means i’m going to the DUMP. Hey look over there. That could be a big enough hole for Me to fit through. Yay I’M FREE. OH NO a gust of wind AHHHHHHHH. Well it is quite relaxing. Don’t stop wind I’m not ready to come down. Well here I am in the ocean floating away. Well I have time to sing a sad song. I am so lonely, I have nobody, I am on my own. What is that. Is that my friend bobby the chip packet. HEY BOBBY IS  THAT YOU MAN. “YEA IT IS ME.” Bobby replied. I swam over to him “hey long time no see” I chattered. “Wow what is that skids” “I think  its a Trash Vortex. “lets see if there is some food” “Bobby you do not want to see this” “ what what is it” “ some of your brothers are dead”.  “Yep i’m next to die” Bobby says sadly. “ I should just get it over with now” “ good bye cruel world” Bobby stabs himself in the heart with a pin. “Why oh why did you have to die now” I cry out to heaven.

Thats how I got to the trash vortex

Stay tuned for bobby's story (even though he’s dead) :(

Research on the Napier Earthquake


  • Location: Hawke’s Bay
  • Date occured (NZ Summer Time): Tuesday, 3 February 1931 at 10:47 am
  • Epicentre: 39.3°S, 177.0°E
  • Focal Depth: 20 km
  • Maximum Intensity: MM 10
  • Magnitudes: MW 7.4 - 7.6, MS 7.8
  • Casualties: 256 killed, thousands injured



The Hawke’s Bay earthquake (also known as the Napier Earthquake) is recorded as having caused the largest loss of life and most extensive damage of any quake in New Zealand’s history. The effects of the earthquake were greatest in the towns of Napier and Hastings, but other towns in the Hawke’s Bay also suffered major damage. The maximum intensity reached was MM 10, with extensive fissuring, slumping and landslides occurring over much of Hawke’s Bay. The official death toll was 256 and 593 people sustained serious injuries that required hospitalisation. The earthquake was followed by fires in the business areas of both Napier and Hastings that became uncontrollable as water pressure dwindled because of broken water mains. The Ahuriri Lagoon in Napier was raised drastically in the earthquake, changing the coastline significantly and leaving hundreds of fish and horse mussels exposed on dry land.



The earthquake was felt throughout most of New Zealand except for areas in the far south and the far north. It also deformed the surface of the land in the surrounding area, pushing up a long dome running northeast-southwest. The dome was 17 km wide and over 90 km long, and extended from the northeast of the Mohaka River mouth to south west of Hastings. The ground was raised by up to 2.7 m near the mouth of the Aropaoanui River, while at Hastings it sank by up to one metre. Along the dome created by the earthquake, some rock folded under the pressure, while at the south-western end about 15 km of rock was broken by surface faulting. Today, only 3 km of this fault trace remains visible 1.



Following the main shock, the Hawke’s Bay Province experienced many scattered aftershocks, some of them very large. The largest had a magnitude MS 7.3, and it struck the already devastated region 10 days later, at 1:27 pm (NZ Summer Time) on Friday, 13 February. Its epicentre was ~50 km from that of the initial quake, offshore and to the east. It was felt widely from Hamilton to Christchurch, and was described by some inland communities as even more violent than the 3 February shock.



Production Reflection

On Friday may it was room 20s turn to do an assembly item.
We did a Play about Gondwanaland and I was a Maori person.

I thought the best part was poking the moa off the stage.
Because it made everyone laugh.

Some interesting things I learnt was the Maori was the first humans on NZ.

I found learning my line challenging because I had to learn it in one day.

Next time I do a production I would like to be better at Learning my lines and using my props.

If I could change one thing about the production I would have a Backdrop

Lost in the bush Part 1


As we run further away from the track, Trying to get away from whatever it was that was chasing us. (pant pant) we were sprinting as hard as we could...


“Okay everyone stick to the path and don’t get lost” Said Mr ford.
“we won’t” The class replied
And that's exactly what Harrison and I did, “where is everyone” I asked Harry,
“don’t know They must have gone off the track.” Harry replied
as we walked further into the bush It got darker. it was gloomy and shadows began moving behind trees as if something sinister was about to happen Then all of a sudden I heard a noise
“What was that” I whispered
“Who knows” HArry said
“RAWR!!!” A creature roared
“aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh” WE screamed
As we run further away from the track, Trying to get away from whatever it was that was chasing us. (pant pant) we were sprinting as hard as we could.

We came to an Old shack. It had Vines and cobwebs all over it. the door was closed and it had holes in it. We had no place to hide, So we hid in the shack, It was worse in their because there were giant  spiders and vampire bats. We couldn't stay in that hellhole.
“Okay at least we got away from that creature” I
“yea, Thats a releve”

The smash


SMASH “AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!” As the glass sliced  through my leg. If only I wasn’t so dumb.

It all started on the night of the big BBQ and I was only 3 years old, Me and my cousin were playing outside and then I thought I was cool and started kicking the top part of a door where it was glass. I kicked it three times and then SMASH “AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH” As the glass sliced through my leg. If only I wasn’t so dumb. I screamed so much. The blood shot out as fast as the speed of light. So my mum rushed outside and she boosted me to the car and drove to the doctors. The doctors zoomed me to the emergency room and chucked me on the bed. My heart nearly jumped out of my chest. The got butterfly stitches. They sowed my leg back together. Slowly but surely. I had 8 stitches in my leg. The next day I was so sore.

Research on Russia


Geographic facts about Russia

The largest country in the world, Russia constitutes one-seventh of the world’s landmass and spans eight time zones. This expansive area allows it to neighbor more countries than anywhere else on earth, as well as touch twenty-two bodies of water and hold twelve seas within its borders. Its vast and complicated array of landscapes has created a diverse blend of forty national parks alongside its forty UNESCO Biosphere Reserves. Here you can find the oldest mountains in the world, the Urals, and the deepest lake in the world, Lake Baikal. Travel from the tundra to the steppes, the desert to the glaciers, the valleys to the volcanoes without ever needing a new visa.

Climatic facts about Russia

Because of its size, Russia presents a drastically different atmosphere depending on your location. Most of the country has a continental climate with distinct periods of warm and cold weather that increases as you travel east. Temperatures for Moscow and St. Petersburg range from highs of 32 C in the summer to lows of -25 C in the winter.


Demographic facts about Russia

Russia has a population of 145.5 million people, 80% of whom reside in Western Russia and two-thirds of whom live in cities. Moscow alone claims eleven million citizens, standing as the largest city in Europe. St. Petersburg boasts less than half that, with a mere five million residents. 1 in 4 Russians is retired, with the average age being 30 years old and growing every year. The normal Russian family consists of three people.Russia city Photo from google images

Dooms day 1!

Doomsday 1 challenge:
Team: Seth, Jacob, Joshua and Tyler
            


Plan: our team has to use maths and science to stop the asteroid and save the earth from extinction!



Problem: In a year an asteroid the size of the U.S.A is going to hit near the city of Auckland NZ!





Research: Asteroid impact avoidance comprises a number of methods by which near-Earth objects could be diverted, preventing potentially catastrophic impact events. A sufficiently large impact would cause massive tsunamis or (by placing large quantities of dust into the stratosphere, blocking sunlight) an impact winter, or both. A collision between the Earth and a ~10km object 65 million years ago is believed to have produced the Chicxulub Crater and the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event. link to site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroid_deflection_strategies


Ideas: Giant mining laser?
Atomic bomb ?
