Pahurehure Inlet LCS Project

 Here is our Pahurehure inlet project. We have been learning about inlets for our inquiry this term. I enjoyed going on the trip and learning the differences between inlets and estuary's. We added labels for each of our clay birds. I learnt lots more information this term so now when I walk around the inlet now I can identify more species of living things. I also understand more about the tide cycles.

Pahurehure Inlet Graphs

 
Here is the data that was collecting on the Pahurehure Inlet trip. 
I did a pie graph online and a bar graph in my book.
 I learnt what type of graphs are suitable for different types of data collection.

Camp was usual enough - Writing Week 6 Term 4

Camp was usual enough; it had a breathtaking view, a sweaty gym, a chilly pool, dense bunk beds and even a chattered dining hall.

My friends and I sprung across the confidence course, darted along the beach, aimed the rifles cautiously, flung the arrows up the hill, fumbled through the burma trail like blind bats, bounced to the moon. Doing nothing important.

I'm going to camp next week! | Descriptive writing week 4 term 4

Excitement crowds the room. Everyone is chattering like monkeys, in awe and disbelief that camp is in less than one week! Action-packed days, full of thrilling activities await. The long anticipation lingers. Smiles spread over faces like butter on toast, each time the word is said. 

Bags are beginning to pile up with supplies, cozy sleeping bags and creamy sunblock are a few essentials. 

Groups are working as one in strengthening team building activities. Encouraging cheering echoes in waves as teams prepare for next weeks adventure.

Writing Week 3 Term 4 - Pahurehure Inlet

A slushy ooze of mire, a perfect boggy home. Webbed feet wade through the sludgy water. Sharp claws clench outstretched branches. 
Pukeko tramp through the dense clay. The sweet melody of tuis, brings crabs out to play. 
Waves of mangroves and fierce currents form the sea. A creaky boardwalk, a windy path. Sky-scraping trees and plump bushes. 
A flock of various species, a place for bird life to thrive.
