Suggestion to teachers-

Dont need an improvement

Don't go as fast as a bullet

Don't go as fast as a bullet

 How to tie a figure 8 knot

The Knot that you are about to do can be useful with yachting and many more stuff. It is good

because you can untie it when it is wet.   

Step one: grab the rope and  form a loop.

Step two: Get the rope on the right and

put it under the rope on the left.

Step three: Take the right piece of rope and

place it thought the loop and pull.

If you did it right the Knot should look like this and

when its wet it should be easy to untie.

05 things you need to know to yacht.

When you go yachting you need to know some tips like when you come up to the land you need to pull up the rudder and centreboard. So it can be easy things like that.

Number one.

When you  go out in the water you must put the centreboard down and your rudder so that you can move in the water.

The second tip.

The most helpful thing is that you need to know where the wind is coming from. That is useful because if you sail into the wind you will go no where.

Sailing tip number three.  

You will won't want to get hit by the boom with is the pole that is very low so you need to stay low so that the boom does not go boom on your head.

Tip four.

When the yacht is on a lean to the left or right you lean to the side that is higher so that you don't capsize when it is cold.

Lastly.

The last thing is that if you want to go out by yourself you need to be able to work the rudder main sheet but to pull up the centreboard up by yourself.

Thank you for reading the tips and I hope that you can use these tips when you go yachting if you are by yourself or with a mate.

This is my story bird from my holiday at Auckland. If you want to know what happens then read my story bird.                                                      

This is art made by ollie who drew it and I had coulerd it in.

The shark

 THE  SCHOOL  SHARK
Smash  as the shark crashes on the side of the boat, I'm excited that I have got my 1st school shark of the day. I ask Jeff if he can hold my line and I grab the hook and pliers.I have to pierce the hook right thought the sharks head and hold it up grab the pliers and rip the fishing hook out of the sharks mouth. I chuck it back into the sea. its tail breaks the water as it swims away,And I lower my rod.
After 5 minutes I have got a snapper on my line. I tug and the snapper fights my line. I grab the line pull it up and I have to check if my snapper is bigger than 45cm and it was 54cm. I hold down my snapper and  grab the stabber find the snappers brain and drill the knife into its brain. Then lift the pot lid and chuck it in the pot and close it. Next I put my line in the holder then we sail off back to shore.

THE ITEM OF  ROOM 20                         

As I hear that mr ford wants me to do Malenas part i  have to  be prepared to get ready for Malena and my part. I felt crazy skeard and did not feel like two do my part but i didn't want to let my class down and disappoint the school either, so i just did it.there was a quiz master host two scientist and some  mad scientist. after we had finished two room 18 kids had came and told us their two most favorite parts in the item. The first kid said that he liked all of it.The second kid liked the way we set up the stage and the way we put expression in our voice. but they said that the whole class liked it. there was a quiz master host two scientist and some  mad scientist.

 

           The water cycle

The run off is the last stage to the water cycle but not the most  important in the water cycle.The sun is the most important part of the water cycle because it powers the    whole water cycle.There is 4 steps in the water cycle.

Evaporation

If i walk outside with water and split it over the ground and i come back it will be gone by the time i come back . it would be turned into vapor and it will be in the clouds

Condensation

Condensation is say if I left a dry cup of poured juice, water and ice left it there. After I have done that and came back from the movie I find out that there is water on the outside of the cup and I wonder how it does that?I know after I am a expert at this and It means that the water vapor is on         

                                  the outside of the glass.

Precipitation

Did you know that in Precipitation the clouds move by the wind. In Precipitation the clouds suck up water and once it gets to a certain weight all the water pours down such as rain,hail and snow.  

Run-off

The run off ends the all the 4 steps of the Condensation and Precipitation.The run  off runs the rain back down to the lake,ocean and river so it can run all over again.

               

           Conclusion

We should be happy that we have a water cycle because without it we would be dead.So I have had a good think about water you should to.   

Its Not easy.....

It not easy being a stuffed bear

It not easy being a stuffed bear being ripped in half and tossed                         

in the bin.

I don't like kids tearing my big beady eyes off and then having to get two different coloured eyes. I can see through one but the other I can't see anything but rubbish ewe!

The good part is going out for tea but I come home very messy with stains.  
Its not easy being a stuffed toy.

Flaxrock

As the rope tightened I grab hold of the first rock. I am shaking like an earthquake but I don’t Give up yet. I hear my class mate charging me on and on I feel proud of my self. I place my hand on the 10th rock my eyes find a 30cm platform wide and I spot the 11th rock, look about 13m high I gasp to myself. Mr ford Said 11 minutes until we leave! My body climbs like a spider up the wall and I put my arm up and up but I can’t touch the top. I have to go down my body says to me. But I say no and I keep going. Now I have gotten to the top, YES I did It I sprang off the wall and back down and down.

Sea Monster

Sea monster

                                                                           

As I stroll down to the sea side I see a hideous sea monster that lies in the view of my eyes. I see brown stained teeth with mould spread over the huge tongue. I think how could I describe this monster. It’s horrible. As I get the camera I see it turn it’s back to me and I spot a bone sticking out of his head. The  hideous smell wofts up my nose. It smelt like dead fish.

I saw it’s behaviour and it was like a child running around the house screaming!  I went to put my camera back and I saw a school of them. I decided to have a better look . They snapped their jaws at me and I jumped in fright. Then it slipped in the water and  joined it’s group.

I hope I don't see that monster again. I am sure that I saw a glint of brown teeth as they swam away. I ran to my car and drove off.  

   The End
