Manu tukutuku is a Maori traditional kite and I think that is cool.

W.A.L.T teach our audience on how to make a Manu Tukutuku

What I found challenging was: How to write the instructions because I have not finished my own one.

What I found easy was: How to write the historical facts because I have heard heaps about this kite. 

Constellations are fun to learn about especially when you get to reasearch new things, I love learning new things.

What I found hard: was trying to find the constellations that I don't know about.

What I found easy was: Looking for the constellations that I already know
E.g The southern cross, The pot , and Orion Ect.

Introduction:

Actions:Heart pound, Mind racing, Legs giggling, Eyes crying

Event: The powersurge

Summary: Over all, it was a good day.

The Ride of Power.

Heart pounding, and mind running, my family and I, went to Rainbows End, to celebrate my birthday, on the most beautiful day possible. We walked in proudly through the main gates, however it was pretty hard to do this when your mum gives you the job of carrying the chilly bin. So poor old Sylvah and I lugged the chilli bin as everyone stampeded through the gate and left my cousin and I to struggle with this monstrous lunch box.

At that moment I had a great Idea. “Come on Sylvah, use your kaha,” I said.

“You can ride the Powersurge” I replied, and then out of nowhere, she used all of her strength to lift and place the chilli bin onto the table.

While walking to the Power Surge, my heart was pounding, my mind was racing, and my legs were jiggling, because this ride was my darkest enemy. I could never get this ride out of my mind. While Sylvah and I were walking to it was as if I was hypnotised to remember this ride forever. We walked along the side to get onto the ride. While putting my belt on I quickly asked the manager.  “Would I fall out?” I queried, just a precaution, because you never know what will happen when it loops and you’re upside down.

While racing up into the air I thought I was tough, but no I was wrong, because if there was more weight on the other person's side then we would do a majority of flips, and guess what happened? We flipped around continuously..

“Ahhh!!, ohhhh!!, ehhhh!, hahahaha!, nooooo!, I WANNA GET OFF!!”

Those were the noises that were coming out of my very own mouth, and I never ever knew I would say those words on that ride… but I did as I was scared witless.

Walking to the next ride my cousins were making fun of me, (like always) so do you know what I done? I walked away and went back to where my mum and dad was, at Kids Kingdom. While walking up my uncle caught my eyes.

“ Uncle!!” I exclaimed, “

“Yes, Heaven,”

“Since it’s my birthday, can you shout me a drink please?”

“The only problem is that I don’t know where the shop is,” replied my uncle.

“This day would never get better,” I thought angrily to myself.

So I asked him to point out where my mum and dad were. “Ohhh, they're just over there sitting on the chair, looking after your brother and sister,” replied my uncle.

“Thank you,” I replied.

I walked to my mum and dad like a sloth, because I had nothing to do, because all the rides I wanted to go on had the longest lines ever imagined, and that just frustrated me. So I told my mum and dad that I had nothing to do, and obviously they replied with a dumb answer like.

“Oohhh, well, do you want to look after your brother and sister?”

And obviously, I replied with a quick and fast, “NO!!” I turned around quickly and flounced away.

I’ll always remember the Power Surge, no matter what and if we go again, I will always try to conquer that ride even though it scares me. I like trying new things and I know you shouldn’t judge a ride by its looks, it might look frightening but I know it’s fun in the end.

Do you want to compost, well I bet this will, might just change your mind about composting.

WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT TO HAVE A COMPOST?
Lesson by Anouk. Thursday 8 June 2017

  1. Why do we have compost?
Because it helps to improve in our garden and helps our plants grow more efficiently.
  1. How many food gets wasted a year?
  • 1.3 billion people waste their food each year.
  • 21 million bread loafs get thrown away each year.
  • Did you know that you don’t put a banana with the rest of your fruit because it will ripen the fruit faster.
  • Don’t put a onion and potato together or else the potato will get to soft.
  • Don’t burn your plastic bag because when a huge cloud of smoke comes up that is a deadly poison.
  • If you inhale that poison you will grow with that chemical and you will get sick at the same time as you grow.
  1. Why you shouldn’t bury your rubbish at home?
Because when you dig a hole in the ground and you through like nappies, cans, bottles, all of the liquid drips to the bottom of the hole and creates a toxic chemical called Leachate and then it soaks into the ground and then there is usually water pipes are under the ground and the the toxic liquid slowly drips into our water we drink.
  1. Compost recipe:
  • Browns + Greens + Air + water=Compost
  • Decomposers
  • When leaves fall of the tree the bugs like worms, spiders etc, eat the leafs and then they leaves they ate go back up into the tree and then in spring the leaves that the worms and spiders ate turn back into leaves and that is called nature's recycling system.
  1. Types of compost.
  • Worm farm
  • Black bin
  • Japanese composter/Bokashi.
  1. Did you know that worms had 5 hearts?
  • When it is summer keep your worm farm under a tree or in a nice shady place. Because worms don't like being too hot or too cold.
  • Worms like News paper, cardboard, Banana skins, fruit, manure, food scraps and more but don’t give a worm a glossy paper/ flyer, and don’t give a worm  colorful paper.
  • Also don’t give worms chilli, garlic, lemons, Dairy products, such as cheese, yogurt, cream, Leeks, and don’t put chicken with your compost because you can attract mice and maggots.

She played a song about compost.

  1. 300.000 x 1000 per year.
  2. Nearly HALF of your rubbish is usually organic waste.
  3. Our rubbish gets buried in a landfill, This is a hole in the in the ground, so if we put our food in the bin this is where it ends up….
  4. When organic waste like food or plants starts to break down in the landfill a polluted liquid is produced call LEACHATE., this is often toxic.
  5. Organic waste in a landfill also produces methane gas. Methane is a greenhouse grass.
  6. We can compost anything if the can biodegrade - (rot), we call this Organic waste.
  7. Composting puts important nutrients back into the soil.
  8. Decomposer are animals that help kell the leaves.
  9. Carbons” browns” - dry stuff. No ground weeds.
