The Horrible Cyclone

Thousands of people here in New Zealand have lost power because of Cyclone Gita. Christchurch, Grey District, Selwyn, Westland, Tasman and Taranaki are under state of emergency. 500 people made emergency calls because of this bad disaster. In the South Island about 200 people are still trapped after spending the night in their busses after state highway 6 was closed.

Plastic On Raglan Beach

Plastic experts have been finding hundreds of tiny bits of plastic in Raglan beach. If you didn't know like me, Raglan beach is in Hamilton. A woman called Anna Cummins was touring the beach and she found a lot of plastic in some non expected areas. Some locals told Anna that the beach was very clean and so she thought it was but realised when you go on your knees and move some of the natural litter you will see.

Anna said "New Zealand isn't as clean an green as it could be". The plastic in the beach were causing a lot of trouble. So please when you go to a beach not pollute it, because once one person starts putting rubbish in the water others will start to copy also.

Boring Test..

This week we have been doing a lot of testing. First we did a reading test and yesterday on Thursday we did a maths test. To be honest I think some of the questions were misleading but I warmed up to them, and most of the questions were easy because I knew what they were talking about.
I think the reading test was much easier because I was at an extraordinary standard to understand the words.

The Grandest Poem Of Them All!

 You better not turn

you better not glare

 if you accept, 

tell me you swear,

my name is Agueer

well you should know

did you know I am

 tall from head to toe?

There once was an Angel

who loved to clean

she would dust and wash

until it was pure green

she loved to boogie

every time she found cookies

and loved to nap

and woke up like a zap

she was stinky 

so she showered with jelly 

and said it was cold

and she felt very bold.

The Swim Zone!

Since week 3 we have been swimming in our pool. This week we have been getting some instructors come to our school to teach the year 0's to 6's skills about swimming. So far we have learnt backstroke, freestyle, stream lining and how to hover on our back then turn to our front, it was really fun to learn different techniques.

My favourite style of swimming right now is probably stream lining because it is quite easy to attempt on your first try. My least favourite is backstroke because when you do it you feel the water escape into you nose.

Chemistry In The Kitchen!

In room 10 we are learning about Kitchen Chemistry. So yesterday we did an experiment, it was about the liquid, gas and solid our ingredients were only a tin, water and a pressure cooker. We saw if  the heat would take the pressure from the water. It was frightening for some of us but some weren't scared I have got to admit it was pretty COOL!  We realised with the lid on top it would trap the air so when there was a lot of air the lid exploded because it couldn't take the heat.
