Discovery & Animals


Image result for antarctica

I think our presentation was good. It gives you facts and knowledge you need to know. The best part section of our work would be the paragraph about the Human impact in Antarctica. We found that we needed more sources for our information. To solve this next time we could go on different sites and use more information for our topic. What I learnt from this topic was that 40% of Antarctica is sea-ice. What I found difficult was finding facts that would be interesting instead of giving everyone facts they already knew about Antarctica.

Taylors Mistake Walk- Outdoor Ed

The name Taylor's Mistake is most commonly attributed to a Captain Taylor of the Volga. In 1858 Taylor beached the American ship in the bay. His mistake was that he mistook the bay for Lyttelton Harbour. Taylors mistake is a harbour found near Sumner in the South Island of New Zealand. Godley Head guards the entrance to Lyttelton Harbour. Godley Head is named after Jahn Robert Godley, the first leader of the Canterbury Settlers which established Christchurch in 1850. Godley Head WWII coastal defence battery sits atop sheer 120 meter-high cliffs. Built in 1939, ranked in the top ten New Zealand coastal defence heritage sites.

King of Excuses

Why I'm late to class

You see I got distracted by a house on fire
and nearly got hit by the cars loose tire.
Aliens abducted me and thought I was food
but clearly, I wasn't in the mood.
I was possessed and robbed a bank down the road
I ran as fast as I could trying to avoid arrest. 
The cops kept chasing me 
but eventually, I lost them in the shops.
You see teacher you should be glad
well at least a tad
You should stop frowning or you'll get wrinkles 
and then you'll get even madder, isn't that right Miss Sprinkles.

Absurd Warnings

Absurd Warnings

Chocolate: Warning! Very addictive could cause weight gain or/and diabetes.

Phones: Caution! Tend to take up a load of my time. Not a good present if you want your children to socialize with you.

Fire extinguisher: Warning! May look fun to use but can be quite heavy. Can leave a bruised foot if dropped.

Paper: Use paper at your own risk. Can cause painful paper cuts. 

Cats: Caution! Don't underestimate their cuteness for they can be vicious beasts when provoked. Beware these adorable animals can cause scratches on your furniture as well as on yourself. Be prepared to find a dead mouse, bird, fish, or any other small animal your cat can get its paws on.

Books: Beware extremely boring for some, if you like reading books then you will find yourself addicted quickly. 

Image result for keep out of reach of childrenAlcohol: Caution!!!! Can be addicting to some. If had too much can cause you to throw up, have terrible hangovers, and to do stupid things. Keep out of reach of children!

Doritos: Not recommended if eating in a quiet place unless you want everyone looking at you. The wrapping can be very noisy as well as the chips.

Tree: Trees do not pull the leaves off the tree. Trees give you oxygen to keep us alive, we should be thankful that. Beware they have feelings too!!

Vivid: Beware this is not a whiteboard pen! This can not be easily erased. Is not edible and will not be very tasty.

Crazy Lyrical Dialogue

"Count my cards, watch them fall," Jack said as he lowered his cards. His voice shook as he accepted his defeat, he stood up and left the casino leaving his earnings behind at the blackjack table. A black Toyota pulled up in front of the casino. The Toyota blended into the night sky. "Get in, we are going to the zoo!" the familiar voice shouted. "Who are you" Jack questioned. "Its ya pal Ross," he said as he leaned out the open window of his Toyota. Jack ran up and opened the door to the front seat and slammed the door shut. "Why are we going to the zoo," Jack said. "Because I bet that you lost all your earnings while in the casino, I imagine you would want some cheering up, plus the zookeeper is very fond of rum so he should be passed out by the time we get there anyway," Ross said. Ross and Jack exited the car and ran past the past out zookeeper to the back of the zoo. Ross sat on the fence throwing chunks of leftover hotdog into the lion enclosure. One of the lions devours it while the other lions stood there eyeing the two men. "Welp another one bites the dust," Jack said as he sat there looking over the zoo. "Thanks for this" Jack whispered.


Song name: You should see me in a crown, by Billie Eilish
Lyric: Count my cards, watch them fall

Song name: At the zoo, by Simon & Garfunkel
Lyric: the zookeeper is very fond of rum

Song name: Another one bites the dust, by Queen
Lyric: another one bites the dust

My thoughts about making a balance toy

For the past term and a half, we have been working on a
balancing toy. Sadly for a few including me did not finish. I found I spent too much time cleaning up my work when I would of spray painted it anyway. 
What I enjoyed most about creating the toy was when I drilled the holes into the base. 
What I learned from the experience was how to use them automatic saw. I although it looks terrifying I found it was easy to use.
The part I felt was most challenging for me was using the time I had wisely. I got better at using the time I had as it got nearer to the date it was due.
