The nice blue water below the rocky mountain, with a 

blast of light hitting the surface. The nice blue

sky with no fluffy clouds and an amazing tip of the 

grassy edge. Beautiful green trees 

above the nice boats floating across the sea. France 

was sitting down with his wife and 2 kids, 

having a beautiful picnic on the large boat, 

with a really nice view.

France is a teacher for a school and is having a holiday 

with his wife and 2 kids. His kids are twins and 

they had to have surgery for there brain because they had

brain damage when they fell out of a 

3 story house window. France’s family was going 

to this location because there baby brother have died

 here and fell off the cliff edge when they

were on vacation. They are just spending time where

 he had got buried by the top of the mountain under the trees. 

They had a sad moment from there 

baby boy and that other people have had the same 

problem. They were also sad that there twin 

daughters were not gonna make it from the surgery. France also

 had a problem from his school about people that did not have 

food and he wanted to help the family. So he 

wanted to travel on a boat from New Zealand

 to canada which is a long distance so they made it to that 

location with their other family members in there boats.

They went back turn New Zealand and then went to 

their home and started to just have a bbq with their

whole family for the day. When they arrived home

they had a rest for a day then called the family to come over 

for lunch.for lunch we had a bbq which was bacon 

sausages steaks chicken. When they were 

Having a bbq there was a really nice surprise...

The family trip #FAKE STORY ¬_¬

Once upon a time there was a little boy that was going to Canada for a trip with his sister and grandad.

30 minutes later… 

They arrived at the airport to get the tickets and they got to the Private Jet… 

They arrived and they were the only people on the Private Jet apart from the pilots, OF COURSE!

13 hours, 15 minutes and 47 seconds later...

They went down the stairs of the Private Jet and they saw the most beautiful native area in their whole life.

When they arrived at their hotel they were so amazed of there view and that they want to stay there for longer, so they discussed what to do in there town.

They wanted to go to the mall and get some food for them.

Later on that week they were sitting at home just on there phone watching Mr. Beast on youtube and liked the videos, and subscribed.

Hurumanu Music - The Quiz

In Hurumanu Music we went to the auditorium and done a quiz about instruments. We were allowed to play the amazing Instruments. My favourite instrument was the saxophone because it was my dream instrument to play and that it has cool sounds to it and also I like the piano because I can play a little bit on it.
My latest bit of it was that we had to go back to the class and carry on with our Stomp Music and make some cool beats with anything around you.

I had lots of fun with our class at the quiz because we got to play our instruments that we got to play and turn all about them.

If I didn't go then I would not have had as much fun as I had with our classmates so thanks to our loving teachers for doing this amazing event.

Tane Mahuta - C.I.P

In C.I.P today we had to take out all of the weeds from the garden because it can kill the plants.
In the classroom part we had to clear the leaves from the ground and the dirt so there is only concrete and then we are going to add gumboots for the plants and we are going to paint it to make it colourful.
We are also bringing tables in and painting them as well as well as chairs.
we had to weed the other side of the garden and then we will plant flowers there so it can look beautiful.
Then my class went to Kiwi Kaha and we had to do Catchphrase and then we went into the activity which was GKQ's and it was really fun but my team came last but it was still extremely fun.
Then we came back from Kiwi Kaha and then we came to my classroom and blogged.

Today what I enjoyed was the planting and the amazing Kiwi Kaha that we done in AL.
My worst thing that happened today was doing the weeding on the gardens and the classroom.

Weather and Climate Change 

Extreme weather

Measuring weather.

Wind

Beaufort Wind Scale

Beaufort Force	Wind Speed (KPH)	Spins	Indicators	Terms Used in NWS Forecasts
0	0-2	0	Calm; smoke rises vertically.	Calm
1	2-5	10	Shown by direction of wind smoke drift, but not by wind vanes.	Light
2	6-12	40	Wind felt on face, leaves rustle; ordinary vanes moved by wind.	Light
3	13-20	80	Leaves and small twigs in constant motion; wind extends light flag.	Gentle
4	21-29	130	Raises dust and loose paper; small branches are moved.	Moderate
5	30-39	190	Small trees in leaf begin to sway; crested wavelets form on inland waters.	Fresh
6	40-50	250	Large branches in motion; whistling heard in telephone wires; umbrellas used with difficulty.	Strong
7	51-61	320	Whole trees in motion; inconvenience felt walking against the wind.	Strong

Wind speed - Making an anemometer.

MATERIALS

1. 1. straws 
2. 2. pin  
3. 3. Styrofoam Cup  
4. 4. pencil  
5. 5. cardboard straws  

STEPS

1. Tape the straws together.
2. poke the pin threw the straws and into the rubber from the pencil. 
3. put the ends of the straws threw the Styrofoam cups and tape the ends together with the cup.
4.  time and count the for as many times the cups spins.
5.  go twice inside
6. go twice outside

Once you have made an anemometer we are going to record the wind speed.

Group size: 5

Anemometer (above) 

• Timekeeper
• Counter
• Recorder
• Anemometer Manager
• Wind generator

1. Mount the anemometer in a place that has full access to the wind from all directions.
2. When the time keeper says "Go", the counter in each group will count how many times the marked cup passes them in one minute and write it down.
3. If possible, repeat the above step four (4) times and record the average number of spins on the chart.

FINDINGS

• Record how many times it spins using the table below.

You will need to create the wind yourself by blowing. Get 4 different wind speeds by blowing.

You will need to time them and count the number of spins.

	Time Interval	Number of Spins
1.	10 secs	6
2.	10 secs	5
3.	10 secs	8
4.	10 secs	10

• Can you make a statement connecting the number of spins of your anemometer and the speed of the wind? When using this anemometer, 10 turns per minute means the wind speed is about one mile per hour. ... For example, "when our anemometer read 20 spins a minute, the commercial anemometer read 2 miles per hour." Blow on the anemometer or turn an electric fan on low to make sure that it spins easily.
