lake Daniell

On the 12 of June 2019 Room 1 and 8 did the Lake Daniell day tramp we drove to Springs Junction at 9am in the morning and got there around 11am I travelled with Xavier and his parent my group wanted there until everyone else got there and we did a number off.

We started walking the track after Ms Kemp went over some stuff. When we started walking the track I was getting cold so I put another jersey on. I walked with my sister pretty much the whole way. We had to stop at fifteen minutes so we could get a drink but we also had a bit of a snack. The next stop was at 30 minutes but after about 10 minutes I was feeling sick but I did not tell anyone.

At 30 minutes we had morning tea after morning tea we started walking again and stopped at 40 minutes. The teacher told us we 2km away from the lake which was only about 25 minutes away. When we got to the lake I walked on the jetty and then we had lunch. I had some hot chocolate so I drank all of that and I had some food. When everyone had finished there lunch we set off to get back to the start of the track.

This time we were going to stop at 1 hour after that 1 hour had passed, we stopped and got a drink. We started walking again and we got a little bit passed the halfway mark we stopped and got a drink and ate a bit of food. We carried on and it felt like 10 minutes but it was probably 50 minutes. When we were back at the start of the track we got a photo and then we hopped in the parents cars. We arrived back to school around 6:10.

We were completing the Lake DanielI tramp because we were learning about hypothermia because it was meant to be really cold. I liked this tramp because it was fun and a bit challenging.

Callaghan's ridge walk

On the 11 of april Room 1 and 8 went off to do the Callaghans Ridge day tramp. We got our car group together and headed off. We went through Kumara and through dillmans town. We started the walk and it was raining but it cleared throughout the walk. Every 25 minutes we stopped for a brake. When we stopped everyone put there rain jackets on and had some snacks it was still raining. About 25 minutes after we had stopped the sun just decided it would just become sunny. 2 hours and 30 minutes into the walk we built our shelter to have lunch in after lunch we keeped walking and it wasent long till we got to the end of the track.

 

How Do Bees Pollinate

          How Do Bees Pollinate

Bees are important to the world. The bees pollinate flowers when
the bees get the nectar by digging in the flower. The bees get
nectar from the flower. The pollen is located on the anther on the
flower. The pollen sticks to the bee like Velcro then when the bee
goes to another flower the pollen off the bee transfers to the other
flower and brushes it onto the stigma. Bees are important to us
because they make more seeds for the flowers and they help
make the fruit and vegetables.

Learning Intentions

We are learning to understand the importance of bees in
nature through learning about pollination and interdependence.

We are learning to take key information from an information
report and write it in our own words.

The paragraph should:

• Have a heading.
• Have a minimum of four sentences.
• Explain how bees pollinate flowers.
• Tell us why this is important.

When I went for a walk across the old abandon field I herd bang I saw lightning in the distance so I ran to an old windmill oh no the door is locked I tried my best to open the door but it wouldn't budge so looked around and I found a rock as soon as I picked it up bang more lightning and thunder and it is getting closer. I didn't worry about it I got the rock and smashed it through the door I reached in and unlocked the door ran in and slammed it shut and locked it. It is so damp in hear and it smelt so old and musty I am cold from running through the rain to get hear I think I will be here a long time. I laid down then I heard another bang but it wasn't just that I heard crash I thing the windmill blade fall off I can't see anything but someone might of left an old torch in hear I need to look around all I can feel is the brick wall it felt like concrete BOOM the lightning must be getting closer but I fell hay I climbed up on it. There was a shelf up hear I felt a torch I grabbed it turned it on and then I tripped and fell 10 feet I landed on my face I all I could taste is the mud it felt like wet tar I got up turned the flash light on again then I heard bang crash boom I felt windmill creaking it is going to fall run I ran through the door not stopping trying not to trip over then I looked back and all I sor was the windmill falling I ran faster jumped over a fence and ran back home. I am happy I did not die.
