Antarctica Speakers
When we were talking about Antarctica we had Eleanors uncle and aunt come and tell us what they did in Antarctica when they went, and they show the gear that you should wear when you are there, and some people got to try some on.
River Visit
On the day which was a few weeks ago Room 17 went to the Tukituki river to do some activities and experiments, and we got to go in the water as you can see.
Maths Term 4
For maths in my maths group we had to make a one metre cube, and we had to see how many people could fit in it, which was about 10 people. So it was awkward!
Life Ed
For the last couple of weeks Room 17 got to visit the harold truck for Life Ed, We talked about drugs and our personalities. We also see harold which was a lot of fun, and I liked it when the room kept changing colours. Plus when harold sang it was really funny!
Beach Ed
On Wednesday the 7th of November Room 17 and 13 did our trip for Beach Ed, we met some lifeguards and they taught us life safety rules about being on the beach. Plus I got to write on the white board!
Fishbone Diagram on Antarctica
This is my fishbone diagram that I did in my reading group, and we had to find out what out about the scientists, and about their huts and about what they do.

The Big Earthquake
The Big Earthquake
It was a cold and whimpering night,
As unexpected, a rumbling sound was exposed,
Like the ground was about to blow.
Like something got out of control,
Like moving waves bouncing in the night,
A trembling shock was revealed.
Threatened, Terrified, Destroyed, Broken,
This was a huge disaster,
No one was safe.
Came to a complete stop,
But felt all over the country,
It was horrible.
Inquiry Research Topic: The Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan
Earthquake and Tsunami In Japan
On 11 March, 2011, a megathrust earthquake struck off the coast of Japan, that have been killing over 15,000 people and causing one of the worst nuclear disasters in history. It was centred on the seafloor at a depth of 24 km, this was the fourth largest earthquake on record and the largest to ever hit Japan.
The energy released by the earthquake produced a huge tsunami, with waves up to 30ft beginning to hit the coast within about an hour. The tsunami was the cause of the loss of life that resulted from the disaster, entire towns were destroyed.
In the following year Japan was hit by over 5,000 aftershocks, the earthquake was so powerful it shifted Earth on its axis of rotation. The cost of the earthquake and tsunami is still ongoing to some extent. 
It is believed to have been the most expensive disaster in history, so far amounting to an estimated $300bn. Further to this, 45,700 buildings and 230,000 vehicles were destroyed.

My One Word Poem About Grizzlies
Grizzlies
Threatened because they are being destroyed,
Unguarded because they are being killed,
Eliminated because they are being wiped out,
Exposed because people are revealing their habitats,
Defenceless because they are not protected,
Unsafe because people are killing their families,
Endangered because people think they’re dangerous,
Fearless because people aren’t afraid of getting attacked,
Unwanted because people think they’re mean.
These are words that grizzlies are like,
When humans hurt them very badly.
