Colour Poem

Blue is the colour like blue water
Blue is the colour  like the sea
Blue is the colour like the sky
Blue is the colour  like Caleb's  eyes
Blue smells like lolly pops
Blue tastes like water

Blue  sounds like stream
Blue look likes my desk
Blue feels like soft, fresh water
Blue makes me hop like a bunny rabbit
Blue is the colour of my notepad.

The Race

                   The Race

My heart was pounding and then I thought
I can do it I know I can.
So then I zoomed past all my friends
and Mrs Spence.
I ran down the hill
like a herd of sheep
running from its enemy.
My feet felt like they were
about to fall off but I didn't care.
Finally my spirit was free.
It was like getting a new horse!
I felt like a bird set free,
I was finally there!

My Bff - by Maia and Paris

My friends hands are as soft as a snow bears fur,
Her eyes are looking here and there like a lion looking for its pray,
Her laugh is like a leopards roar in the forest,
Her scream is like a  mouse squeaking,
Her voice is as lovely and a humming birds hum,
When she gets mad she is a ferocious as a bulldog trying to defeat a bull,
She is as sweet as a cute kitten,
She is as nice as a pretty prancing parrot,
She is as funny as bugs bunny,
And she is as playful as a puppy
lying
as playful as a panda
she is a animal lover.

The Lost Blue Dinosaur

Sadly the little blue dinosaur called Bluey was lost and thought that he didn't  have a mother. But he did have his little imaginary friend which wasn't any help.
Anyway he was walking along a dirt path and at the end of it there was a time machine, past it was a waterfall then it was lake. The dinosaur was curious to find what was behind the time machine and went through. It went travelling so fast through time it splashed into a lake which there was a boat race to find out who was the fastest of them all.
Then he saw a boat and the boat told Bluey that his name was Buldozer. He, Bluey then asked Buldozeif he could watch the race and help him to the shore. To seal it all up, Bluey would help Buldoze get first place. Just as the race starts Bluey saw Buldozer not starting, he heard a scream of pain and rushed over to where Buldoser was and asked if he needed a push.
Buldozer then quickly replied "Yes," so Bluey then stretched out his long neck and pushed him as  hard as he could.
Off went Buldozer, he was last place but then suddenly he appeared to be on his second lap in 3rd place. "Final round," shouted the commentator. Whoosh! Wham! Buldozer passed and Bluey cheered.

My life in Whanganui

Well, here I am sitting here writing this right now at 35 mins to past nine.
Well better get on with it. Right now I am in Wanganui wishing I could be with my friends in Whakatane. My life in Wanganui is a lot different than Whakatane. At school at Whakatane it was a dream come true, no uniforms, ordering lunches, maths was fun and many more things you could imagine. But at Wanganui uniforms, parking metres, grocery prices more expensive, no canteen at school! Now  I am going to say positive thing about Wanganui instead of comparing or judging. the positive things are good friends, awesome teacher, huge house, close to Mount Taranaki, skiing, desk inspection and many more. I'll write again when I've got enough room to write see you later or at least write later!        

My Favourite Poem

My favourite poem is called "dreamer" by Brian Moses.

Dreamer

I dreamt I was an ocean and no one polluted me.
I dreamt I was a whale and no hunters chased after me.
I dreamt I was the air and nothing blackened me.
I dreamt I was a stream and nobody poisoned me.
I dreamt I was an elephant and nobody stole my ivory.
I dreamt I was a rainforest and no one cut down my trees.
I dreamt I painted a smile on the face of the earth for all to see.

It is my favourite because I like the way how its telling a story and it gives a message about not  doing things like polluting the ocean and cutting down trees.

Tuatara

Tuatara by Laris Edmond

Tuatara old survivor.
Reptilian grandfather.
Observing heavy lidded eyes.
The still old centuries passing by.
Slow little bloke, in enamel coat.
Shedding his  tail, croaking his croak.
While another thousand years waits at his door.

A Popcorn Freak

My friend is a popcorn freak , because  he is a selfish geek.
He robs banks and steals sheep, and he looks angry in his sleep.
His popcorn head is always red , and he looks great in his bed.
He wants to take over the world, with rats and bats and pussy cats.
He likes being stupid to the world, he puts stupid clips on youtube.
He eat worms for breakfast and tea, and spews  them up with glee.
He wants to fly above the sky, and crash down with a frown and a crown.
He got arrested by a worm, ate it for tea and made it burn.
The popcorn freak  got bitten by a dino geek .
and that is how he died with pride.
Its sad but everyone's super glad.

Cross Country By Alice Kerse

My heart was pounding like a horse galloping at 100 miles an hour,
Come on Alice I can do it my head was telling me that I was going to faint

storm

A gust of wind struck before my eyes .
Wow waving terrifying trees falling .
The sound was as scary as a ghost saying "Do what I say "

Cams in automata By Will

A cam is a circular object that can turn circular motion into linear motion.

It goes round and hits a cam follower which will send the object going up and down ofr round and round.

It is important because the cam helps the automaton move and if there was no cam it would not work.

To work it needs to be on an axle. Another tip is that the cam cant move sise to side on the axle and it also cant be too close to the top or else when the figure goes up it will not come down.

If you want an automaton that works well you will need to know a lot about cams,axles,sleeves,shafts and cam followers.

THE STORM BY SAM

Bang Bang Bang the wind crashes into the garage door .

The garden chairs were pushed by the wind making a.

scraping sound. Like a tiger sharpening it's claws on the

rock.I open the window the wind was bursting though

making swishing sound. Branches were shaking with

fear. The wind sounds like waves crashing into the cliffs.

I look outside I could see my little plastic bike in the rubbish

bin. Moving like little puppets. Over to the right is see my

neigbours fence blow over.

The storm reminded me about a movie Percey Jackson

and the lightning thief. Thor was angry and made a big

storm and that was the end of the movie.

I didn't like the power cut. I don't like storms.

History of the Dinosaurs -Jeffery's opinion

Long, long ago when no human beings were alive (apart from cavemen), Dinosaurs ruled the world. One day there was a huge meteoroid that came down to earth so fast that it caught on fire and crash landed on the earth. It killed about 98% of dinosaurs and the others were a bit too terrified about the crash that they ran away never to be seen again. They probably died from starvation and got buried by dirt and then to be found again one day by paleontologists billions of years later. 

The History of dragons Will's opinoin

A long time ago when knights were around dragons were also around. It all began with the dinosaur's when a dragon was born and then another dragon was born and when they got old to their breeding age they found each other they started breeding which made more dragons then as more years passed there were over 100 dragons and so that's how the dragons began. Then came the Vikings which enslaved dragons and made them do all their jobs for them. Then they started to ride dragons then they had riding dragons so they had air battles as well as land and sea battles. After them were the knights which hated dragons so when ever they saw dragons they killed them. But the dragons were more blood thirsty then so that was the end of dragons hope you enjoyed your journey through time. By Will 

Cams By Jeffrey Lin

A cam is a circular object that is very important to an automaton because it helps move the shaft up and down. It also is very useful because it can make the automaton a great toy for a baby.
A cam can turn circular motion into linear motion and also make it turn around and around if it has a cam follower attached to it. It is very important but without the other objects the cam would be very useless. If there was no axle, the cam wouldn't turn. Also if there wasn't a cam an automaton wouldn't  be able to move.
The cam drives an automaton by making the shaft go up and down. First you turn the handle to make the cam turn around then it moves the shaft up and down, the sleeve makes the shaft be stable and not go side to side.

Automata are very wonderful toys for every one to play with but if you want to make an automaton you have to know what important parts you need!

Flying Kiwi


I remember getting hauled up to the top of the flying kiwi and being lowered back down to the ground.

FYI - Trees

FYI Trees

Let me explain why...

1.  Carbon Dioxide CO2.

Trees store carbon and make nice fresh air

Trees convert CO2 into Oxygen through their leaves.A mature leafy tree produces as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year. 

2.  Trees Clean the Soil.
Trees filter sewage and farm chemicals, reduce the effects of animal wastes, clean roadside spills and clean water runoff into streams.


3. Trees Control Noise Pollution
Trees muffle road noise almost as effectively as stone walls. Tress, planted at strategic points in a neighbourhood or around your house, can stop major noises.

4. Trees Are Carbon Sinks

Firewood from trees. 

To produce its food, a tree absorbs and locks away carbon dioxide in the wood, roots and leaves. Carbon dioxide is a global warming suspect. A forest is a carbon storage area or a "sink" that can lock up as much carbon as it produces. This locking-up process "stores" carbon as wood and not as an available "greenhouse" gas
.
5. Trees Shade, Cool and warm.
Shade resulting in cooling is what a tree is best known for. Shade from trees reduces the need for air conditioning in summer.  Studies have shown that parts of cities without cooling shade from trees can literally be "heat islands" with temperatures as much as 7 degrees higher than surrounding areas.

Trees and sheep escaping the hot sun.

In winter, trees break the force of winter winds, lowering heating costs. They also help keep us warm at home by providing firewood.  Every winter we get firewood from trees to keep us warm.  The firewood we get has been planted for building timber.  We chainsaw up the end logs that do not make the grade and split them into firewood.

6. Trees Act as Windbreaks
During windy and cold seasons, trees located on the windward side act as windbreaks. A windbreak can lower home heating bills up to 30%. A reduction in wind can also reduce the drying effect on soil and vegetation behind the windbreak and help keep precious topsoil in place.


7. Trees Fight Soil Erosion
Erosion control has always started with tree and grass planting projects. Tree roots bind the soil and their leaves break the force of wind and rain on soil. Trees fight soil erosion, conserve rainwater and reduce water runoff and sediment deposit after storms.

Trees keep us breathing, cool, warm, quiet and calm.  They keep our soil clean. They store carbon. 

And its only on Arbor day we think about trees?

Beautiful Butterflies BY RICHARD

The magnificent  monarch . the monacrh  is a very beautiful endangered butterfly. In summer it lays it's eggs on the underneath of the leaf of swan plant. 
A yellow and black Caterpillar hatches. It eats and eats and eats it turns into a chrysalis. After two weeks the chrysalis turns black and then a new butterfly hatches from it. lays it's eggs and the life cycle statrs again.

Sad swan plant

The solky slob sits sadly with poor green leaf.
The stork is as skiny as a snake.
the last caterpillar has mad it through battle.
The brown sad tree is as old as this school.
It used to be as happy as can be.
It used to look amazing
but now it looks like a solky slob.

The Sound Stranger

A stranger came this morning

dressed all in black and grey

Put every sound in a bag

and carried them away

The ticking of the clock

The swishing from the tap

The clicking of the tramp

The sizzling of the pan 

The snoring of my dad

The door closing loudly

The clicking of the pens

And the sliding of the cartons

A stranger came this morning

He didn't leave his name

He left us only in silence

Life will never be noisy again.

Falling Trees By Sam

Falling Trees ,chainsaws trying to eat them up.
Chainsaws keep chomping ,chomping, and chomping until the tree falls down.
The trees are not very happy to die.
Chainsaws are very mean to kill the trees.
So people plant the seeds to make new trees.
But the chainsaw still want to kill the trees
little trees are good for bugs when is raining
the bugs can use the little trees like an umbrella.

Falling trees by Mia

Big brown towers, towers , standing tall with  pride.

Green  leaves, red leaves,golden  leaves brown  leaves , change colour the whole time.They hands stretch  out , and  they  grow  fatter each week ,until they're as high  as  the  Eiffel tower ! BANG!  BANG! People building tree houses.

CRASH!CRASH!Humans cutting you down
.THUMP!Another tree gone.

The sound collecter by Paris Munro

A stranger came this morning
dressed up in pink and grey
put every sound into a bag
and carried them away.

The screaming or the baby having fun.

The slashing of the shower.

The creaking or the chair.

The purring of the cat.

And the popping or the bathtub.

The cracking of the chocolate.

The snoring of the father.

The nagging of the mother.

The drumming of the music while

they run away.

The burning of the toast.
The frying of the eggs.

The cutting of the bacon.

And the steaming of the pot.
A stranger called this morning
He didnt leave his name

Left us only silence

Life will never be the same

Cup cakes

Yum mm! My nose inhales
a strong mouth watering, divine , sugary sensation as my mouth drops open to take a huge chomp,
Mm mm! I think I 'm in a dream with Charlie and the Chocolate factory .

Suddenly I pictured something in my head which was a magnificent Cup Cake! Mm mm.
If I could have only one wish, it would be for a Cup Cake.
By Alice Kerse.

How popcorn pops

Did you know that when popcorn pops it turns inside out and grows 40-50 times bigger than its original size!

The oldest popcorn ever found was in the Bat cave in New Mexico. It is about 5,600 years old.

Popcorn has also been found in tombs in Peru-archaeologists have found ancient kernels that look dry but contains very little amount of moisture. So when you heat it up it expands, and then POP! It immediately turns fluffy and white.

It pops so fast that it’s only a blur to the humans face.

 So now you know that popcorn was around for a long time and how it pops. It’s still wonderful delicious treat for everyone

Piwakawaka

The Piwakawaka is found in the bush and in gardens. It eats insects, nectar and fruit.
Its not afraid of people. It darts around people in the bush because
it eats the insects that people disturb.Its nest is shaped like a cup.
The Piwakawaka is brown and white.The eggs are pink and have
brown spots.

Popcorn By Will

Did you know that popcorn uses heat to pop?

IT uses the heat so steam can build up inside it then, POP! It bursts inside out. It pops when the inside reaches 250 degrees centigrade.

The oldest popcorn ever found was in a bat cave in New Mexico.It was 5,600 years old and it could still pop.

Popcorn has been around for thousands of years and it is still a well loved treat.

Popcorn

`                                                             By Brodie

Did you know? Popcorn has been around thousands years and it can still pop how amazing!

To make popcorn pop you need lots of heat. Popcorn has got a bit of moisture inside it and the moisture starts to steam. When it gets to 250°C e popcorn explodes. The popcorn has turned inside out and looks like a fluffy ball.

A treat for afternoon tea yummy yummy!

                      

I like the taste of lots of things by Tainn

              I like the taste of sweet popcorn.

              I like the taste of kiwi fruit, sour and green

              And sweet chocolate Easter eggs, creamy and wonderful.

              I like the taste of ginger bread man

              And the burning of a chille.

              I like the taste of apple pie

              And the taste of fish and chips, so crunchy.

              I like the juicy red flesh of a watermelon

              And the chills of an cold ice block.

              I like the taste that summer brings

              I like the taste of lots of things.

Automaton

Did you know that room three has been making toys out of cardboard boxes?

We started off by making boxes out of card.

We then put a skewer and a cam in the box.

Then we made a toy out paper then traced it on to a piece of card and cut it out.

And coloured it in with crayons and paint.

We put an ice-cream stick and hot glued it together and put it in the box and see if it’ll work if not we make more adjustments.

So now you know what room3 have been up to. 

Easter Holidays

YUM!!! I could smell the chocolate from miles away!
I went to wake up Jamie, "GET UP ITS EASTER AND YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!" I yelled at her,
She woke up and sleepily yawned, she came to the side of the crib and glared at me but when she saw the chocolate her face brightened up a bit.
I lifted her out of the crib and placed her on the floor, she struggled to open the tightly rapped egg but eventually ripped it open.
I ran into my room and opened my chocolates.

"THIS IS THE BEST EASTER EVER!" I shouted.

The New Car

Vroooooooom!!!!!!!!!
Our cloud white car speeds across the highway.
MMMMMMmmmmmmm ,,, overtaking two cars coming back from Palmerston,
Our car fits eight people!! Two in the front, three in the back and three in the middle.
I sit there admiring the view, with all the greenery and hills,
Grass juts out like a Spanish flamenco dancers dress.
I press the open button and like observatory the roof opens.
I sit back and relax.

The taste of things

The taste of things

I love the taste of radiant, juicy fruit,

And the crunchy skin on a roast goose,

I desire the crumbly apple pie,

And the intense flavoured cake reaching way up high,

I love the crunchy bacon rind,

And glossy, minty sauce that we smother on top,

I love the taste of cheerful, crunchy, golden roast potatoes,

And crisp, fresh coleslaw or salad,

I love the taste of lots of things,

(Including the taste of gummy rings!)

 

Archimedes (pulleys)

We use pulleys almost everyday!

Archimedes was a great mathematician and engineer who was born 287 years BC in Syracuse, Sicily. He is credited with coming up with the idea and the use of modern day maths equations and the way things like levers, pumps and pulleys work. Archimedes had wrote in a letter to King Hieron that he could move any weight with pulleys, he boasted that given enough pulleys he could move the whole world! The king challenged him to move a big ship that would take lots of men and a great amount of work to move the sea. On the planned day, the ship was loaded with lots of passengers and a full cargo, and the king watched to see if Archimedes could do what he said he could. Archimedes knew he could improve his mechanical advantage for lifting or moving an object using pulleys.

 A pulley moves a force along a rope without changing how big it is. When engineers work with pulleys they often make sure that the rope of the pulley moves smooth and evenly, without catching. These systems are known as simply "pulley systems" because they use the same rope through the whole system, if the pulleys were attached with more than one rope the system would be a "complex pulley system".

Automaton by Blake and Andrew

Have you ever had a cooler toy than this?

It’s called a automaton and it is the coolest toy ever

It can move up and down and has got the most

beautiful  colours on it. It has a  robot face, a spiral

nose and a big hat . So how’s that that for a toy.

My automaton is almost finished. Mine has lots of colours

and lots of features.
When I finish my toy I’m going to

give it to my little brother Mathew

Early Toys by Jeffrey

Did you know that people played with toys 2000 years ago for example, the Egyptians played with dolls, toy soldiers, wooden animals, balls, marbles, spinning tops and knuckle bones.

The Ancient Greeks children liked playing ball games; they also liked playing knuckle bones, spinning tops, dolls, model horses with wheels were popular, hoops, rocking horses. Don’t you think it would be good to live at that place?

The Romans also had toys for the children to play with at that time. There were wooden or clay dolls (which were a delight to the girls back then), ball games and board games were a favourite to the boys at that time. They also fiddled with animal knuckle bones. The first doll house was invented in Germany!

So now you have seen what the Ancient Civilisations had fun with, would you like to have been a child in the Ancient times?

Ancient toys by Will

Toys have been played with for hundreds and thousands of years.

If you think toys were only invented in the 20^th century think again! Toys have around since before the early Egyptians.

The toys then were like the toys now but they had no electronics. Back then, they played with board games, dolls, marbles, toy soldiers, knuckle bones, spinning tops, wooden animals, balls, inflated pigs bladders and many more.

So now you know what all the children in the ancient times played with.Would you like to be a child then, or do you prefer the technology today?

Trip Hammer by Alice.  

Trip hammers were usually raised by a cam and then released to fall under the force of gravity. Historically, trip hammers were often powered by a water wheel, and are known to have been used in China as long ago as 20 AD, in Rome by the 1st century AD and in medieval Europe by the 12th century. During the Industrial Revolution the trip hammer fell out of favor and was replaced with the power hammer.  My Dedda and I made one. I will bring it to school to look at.

Egypt

How did the Egypttions carry blocks that where 1000 times there weight to build pyramids?
using 1.3 millon stone blocks.some of the blocks were 15 tons.

On our camp there were 2 pulleys one on the flying kiwi,one for the highropes.-

Double-hung windows with Pulley Systems in pre 1914 house.

Double-hung Window with Pulley Systems

What is a Pulley? And who invented it?

A Pulley is a simple machine used to move a heavy load.

Archimedes first invented it in ancient Greek times.

Advantages to Double-hung windows with Pulley Systems.

•  The window opens wide to let in lots of fresh air.
•  It opens vertically so no one walking past will have to worry about whacking their head on it. 
•  It stays open without the need for locks or clasps.

Disadvantages to Double-hung windows with Pulley Systems.

• They brake. i.e. ropes snap, wheels can get brittle and fall apart.
• The windows aren’t sealed so cold draughts can get in which is not good during the winter months.
• In todays age they are difficult and expensive to fix and maintain.
• The window frame has to be pulled apart to fix pulley wheels and attach ropes back onto the counter weights. So would possibly need new wood for the frame and paint when putting it back together.
• Repainting windows has to be done carefully if doing it without pulling the frame apart to make sure they don’t get painted shut.

New Zealand houses.

Double-hung windows were first put into the ‘Arts and Crafts’ cottage style of Characteristic houses in the functional tradition era of Architecture. These houses were designed by Mr F.E Greenish.

Our research has found that our house which has 40% Double-hung windows was built before 1914. (QV.co.nz)
