fishing tractor

 

hi!This week we have been learning about oil spills and we had to make a machine that can get rid of all the oil in the ocean.So i made the fishing tractor.the fishing tractor is a made up device that could just possibly get all the oil out of the ocean.I think it was really fun making up a device because it meant i had a chance to spreed my imagination as far as it can do.what i reckon i could work on is make it more cooler.Hope you enjoy.

pelorus jack

 

Today we are doing ANZAC reading. I did a drawing about pelorus jack, a dog that sailed the HMS New Zealand. I chose to do this because it sounds awesome that a dog can sail on a ship for that long. what I learnt, and thought was wicked, was that when over 1 thousand people died a little dog survived.

persuasive writing

Dear Greymouth council

I believe we need a zoo in Greymouth to stamp out the boredom and make this town fun. Also, we need a much better connection with animals.

What the animals will be provided? Now that's a good question. The animals will be provided with a safe place to call home, fresh food and water every day, and a daily clean. There will be a sign out the front of the enclosure telling what type of animal there is and where they came from. There will also be enough space for visitors to maybe pet the animals unless they're dangerous.

The zoo would be good for Greymouth because Greymouth is starting to live up to its name and become grey. The people in this town an obviously starting to get a bit bored(so what way would be better than having fun while cuddling cute animals at the zoo?) The zoo will have 2 main benefits: make good moola, and make this town popular.

What animals are there gonna be? Hopefully: zebras, giraffes, lions, monkeys birds, crocodiles, fish etc. all collected from a safe environment. The animals will be handled with care and treated with kindness for the trip to the zoo. What would be better than that? We would either get them shipped or get them ourselves.

I hope you read all my reasons carefully and understand that having a zoo will be AWESOME! Also, have I said how amazing you are

the tree of life

Elise held hope in her outstretched hands. Kneeling gently on the ground, she prepared herself for what she knew she must do. The cool water trickled through her muddy fingers, and the soft, black earth felt comfortingly warm on her palmsPlanting the tree of life would mean a new beginning. The opportunities were endless…Feeling the excitement course through her quivering body, she lowered the tree of life into the small hole she had prepared. It was time…6 months later her town was made. elise was now a hero. the tree was now home to all, animals, people and more. but it needed water some time and she was the one to do it, elise walked up to the stadium, "everybody" she shouted "I am leaving to find water for the tree" "nooooooo" everyone yelled. elise sighed"I'm afraid yes in the meantime you will protect the tree" and then elise walked off . 5 minutes later she emerged ready for what life throws at her.then a great crash went behind her she slowly looked behind her and she saw ........ THE TREE! it has fallen down !!!!! sowly the world was cracking shorley its the end of the world.

a trip in kaikoura

 It has been an 8-hour drive and we only stopped once. "hey dad, how long till we're there ?" I must have said that a million times." look daisy look!"Mabel shouted, and there right before my eyes were the dazzling blue sea, it was shining most invitingly. I finally felt excited, a bubble burst in my stomach. we were singing songs till we got to our campsite, the campsite was as packed as a circus, and there was even a pool! later we went down to the beach .while mum and dad were talking, Mabel and Xavier buried me in the stones. half an hour later I got up and felt something as small as a pea I my ear .it was a pebble !" mum dad I have a stone in my ear "I screamed .5 minutes later I was waiting in the hospital with dad. I noted how clean it was.it was as clean as a highly polished rock and as sparkling as a pua shell. on the first attempt, the doctors only managed to move it a little, then squirted water in my ear.it felt as though the Niagra falls were in my head! then we had to wait 2 hours then another doctor came and got it out.YAY. we went to the campsite and had chips for dinner it felt like a warm fire in my tummy. the next day dad told us he had a surprise for us.5 mins later he said it was sea kayaking I was so excited. half an hour later we were in our wetsuits with a kayak in our hands .the lady told us to look out for seals and little blue penguins. and then we were off! I asked dad if I can jump in but nope not now. we were kayaking for half an hour till we saw it, a little blue penguin bobbing beside us in the water .and before I knew it was gone. and that was surely the best day ever
