MUSEAM TRIP- Gallerys.

Gallery 1- Gallery one was about Pukaki, the giant maori treasure, that was carved in 1836. I liked how they had the whole gallery based around Pukaki.

Gallery 2- The second gallery was all about the Te Arawa tribe, and how they navigated there way to Aotearoa. It was cool how they had the movie, and the giant canoe set in the middle of the gallery.

Gallery 3- The third gallery was all about maori treasures and taonga that they use to use "back in the day" like the maori hook, "matau", and the Hinaki, an eel catching net.

Gallery 4- I liked how Galleryfour had a Pataka to the side, and had a lot of maori history facts around it.

Gallery 5- This gallery is about all of the items that the Europeans brought over when they came from across the ocean. It was cool how they had it all laid out.

Gallery 6- I think that gallery six was one of my favourites because it was all about the Tarawera Eruption, the aftermath and all the devastation. It was interesting how they focused alot of the exhibits on Guide Sophia.

Gallery 7- This gallery was about Te Arawa at war, and the Maori Battalian.  It was interesting how up on the wall of all the soldiers, Jessie had a relative.

Gallery 8- This gallery had alot of information on New Zealand and is history. It also contained a carving called Te Rangitakaroro.

Wings-

North Wing= Bathtubs, I liked the bath that you could stand on.

The Attic/ Viewing Platform= The view was really PRETTY!!

My Poem ☺

THE ROCKIES

,
The Rockies, The Rockies, The Rockies, The Rockies.
Kate was wearing some black sockies.
The Rockies are tall, The Rockies are fat,
but are they as tall as Olivias cat...
That is all.

Fitness- PROM DANCING PRACTICE

Today for fitness we did Prom Dancing. 

The End.

Joking. :) 

This week we have the hall for fitness, and we are practising prom dancing. We only did 2 and a half songs today. 2 of our circle dances, and the samba-ish. I like Prom Dancing because it is fun.

The End...

for real.

Homework thingy- Week 4...

William moved towards the wooden door and pulled it back slowly... And there he stood in the hall at Wellington Girls College. Auditioning for New Zealand's Got Talent.

Cry Of The Taniwha-Chapter 20

1- What did Eve and Matt find?

    While Eve and Matt where examining the candle holder, they found some small diamonds, but not the Rothery Stone.

2-Do you think that they should go with Ana? Why? 

   I dont think they should go with Ana, but because she is associated with the gang, and because she seems a bit dodgy.

Cry Of The Taniwha- Chapter 19

WALT- Edit and proof read our writing

Why did they go to the museum?-
They went to the museum to hand in Eves research and to talk to some of the staff at The Museum.

What do you think might be special about the ponga?-
I think that it maybe has diamons stored in it, or is a sample of the ground by Mt Tarawera 

Cry Of The Taniwha- Chapter 18

WALT- Edit and proof read our writing...

1- What does Eve do in this chapter?

Eve goes to Ian Mcmillans presentation, and then makes Matt spend a whole day with him. Then goes out searching for treasure at Whakarewarewa.

Newspaper Article

A lady, Sharon Jones, found a $1 million winning lotto ticket, after it had been thrown away.


Sharon Duncan is the person who bought the ticket, and threw it away after the machine said it was not a winning ticket. 


Soon after, Sharon Jones picked up the winning ticket, took it to the counter, and realized it was a winning ticket.


The judge claims that Sharon Duncan never gave the rights of her money away, so she gets to keep her money from the ticket she bought.


Who do you think should keep the money??

MOTHERS DAY

Cry of the Taniwha- Chapter 17

Gawks real name is Cecil Hilton.

Gawk lives in a shabby galvinised iron garage, with just enough room for three people.

Gawk gave the items back because he was threatened by Jackson that he would tell WXK.

I would be worried, because since Jackson brought the gang in, they might question Matt how he got the coins back.

Cry Of The Taniwha- Chapter 15

Hone got angry because Matt didnt inform him about the gang threatening Jackson and Matt to find treasure.

As Matt exits the car he sees a bucket full of bananas, far off in the distance. He runs toward it, but it only gets farther and farther away. Suddenly he sees a bright light, then Hone is sitting straight in front of him. As Matt sits up, Hone starts to explain what happened. "Matt" he said gently, "while you were on the plane to Rotorua, you fainted. You've been knocked out ever since" "So no WXK?" "Whats that??" "Nothing" said Matt.

The End...

Carrots

A carrot is a orange vegetable. Many people enjoy eating this orange delicacy, including me, and people from all around the solar system. Carrots help prevent death and cancerou. You can have carrot juice, carrot smoothies, and even carrot ice cream. I love carrots. Comment if you do too. :)

"Tonight on Police 10/7 we want your help to find this Caucasion male..."

His complexion was horibble, but only because he was in a fire when he was little.

Her  absensce from the meeting was very sudden, then, the phone rang.

After we found the coins, we gave them to the police. They told us they were sovereigns.

There was a big resistance toward Bob getting new shoes, but in the end, they gave in.

There was so much corrosion on the nail, that Bo had to use a knife to scrape it all off.

Missing the bus

This morning I was showing Kate And Olivia my new panda speakers, and we sortof kinda nearly missed the bus. The bus came roaring down the road and we broke into a sprint, and on the way Olivia kinda fell over :)

It was a very interesting adventure... I just hope it dosent happen again.

This is my panda speaker, his name is Bob Jim Pandamonium. You hold his ears to turn the volume up and down :)

Out of the window...

This morning, I have nothing to write about, so I am going to write about what i can see out of the window...
I can see nothing, because the window is behind me. Plus I cant really be bothered to turn all the way around and have a look. But fortunately there are two windows, and out of the other window i can see the library the sky, and not much else..
Bye bye ☺
