Kahukura day and & night

How day and night works

We have day and night because of the Earth’s rotation.

Firstly,The earth is always spinning on its axis  which is an
invisible line that goes through the north pole and the south pole.

In fact the earth
spins around its axis like a top,this movement is called the earth's
rotation, the earth's
rotation is what it  gives us day and  night.

In addition while the earth is spinning on its axis it also orbits
or revolves around the sun. This movement is called revolution whole
orbit around the sun is called a revolution.

Lastly,one side of the earth is the Northern hemisphere  and the
opposite side is the southern hemisphere.

Last week I had science with my class room.

Firstly, In Room 8 we had a science experiment to discover what will happen if we mix all the primary colours
together so it could make a secondary colour.

Secondly,when the colours all mixed up they made an incredible a new colour.
It blew my mind like KABOOM!!! I was so surprised that it looks so amazing.

Thirdly,At the end we observed about what we saw, I thought the experiment was so awesome.

You should try this experiment.

Kahukura-Panmure-bridge

Paragraph 1


In the beginning there was a swing bridge.
We went to the docks where the boats are tied up,(yacht club).
The yacht club is where we were  going to see were the old swing bridge was.
When we got there we did not see the bridge Ms Ashley was talking to us about the bridges, we could not see the swing bridge.
The old swing bridge made a sound effect like a boiling jug.
No one could not cross for a while because it was unsafe for the cars to cross,so they had to build another bridge that was strong to hold the heavy packages so the bridge won't collapse into the Tamaki River.

Paragraph 2

Two weeks ago there was a collapsing foot bridge accident on a 8 lane highway in America close to Miami.
There was survivors that called for help for emergency.
The helicopter was making too much noise and the emergency people couldn't hear the people who were screaming for help under the debris.

Maokai Pa

My sgraffito shows what happened from the beginning of Mokoia Pa.Because Mokoia Pa is on a volcanic mountain they can see the enemies who are going to attack. While the British are making their way up the mountain the Maoris have time to ready their weapons. On the volcanic mountain there was fertile soil to grow vegetables.Tamaki River was used for transport on a waka, fishing for food. The fences around all pa’s were so no other tribes could invade the land. I learnt about the history of Mokoia Pa. My challenge was to remember about sentences having only one idea.
