ANZAC

In World War 1, my Dad’s great great Uncle was in the army.

He was knighted by the Queen because when you are using a cannon it’s so hard to aim and shoot the cannon where you are aiming, however my Dad’s great great Uncle could do just that. That’s how he became Sir Steven.

My Pufferfish!

Hi! My name is Sherly and I own a pufferfish that my dad caught it. His boss helped him make the pufferfish look good. These are the steps he did:

He put water and oil in a big pan for 5 hours and placed the fish into this water and oil. It looked very crispy!(But don't eat it!)

Next, he boiled the pufferfish for 5 hours!

After, he then he left it to cool down for 3 hours and then he cut a small hole underneath the tail of the pufferfish. He gave the pufferfish to my dad! WOW!

I got so surprised when I found out. My dad put it outside of my bedroom door! I was so pleased!

What I learnt this week, By Maui Hodge

Things that I learnt this week:

Friction is…

Friction is something that slows an object down. EG: wood that tries to slide down a ramp with sandpaper on it. The sandpaper slows down the sliding motion. If the piece of wood had tinfoil on it, this would slide faster, because there is less friction between the tinfoil and the wooden ramp.

Maori:

Turuturu = Be quite!

I thought that turuturu means to listen!

Oceanographer and The Lost at Sea performance, By Sherly Liang

Yass! On Friday the 24 March, the senior syndicate from Sunnybrae Normal School were going to the hall to meet an oceanographer and watch a performance about ‘lost at sea’.

First, the oceanographer told us lots of facts about the ocean. For example: the fastest animal in the sea is a whale because he moves 10 meters in one second! The oceanographer also mentioned that if there are weeds and mud on the hull of a boat this could bring in bacteria into land. It will be bad because it can spread.

After lunch, we came to the hall and we watched the performance Lost at Sea. My highlight was when Cursty bit the head off a chocolate duck. I found out that the ducks head acted like a sail so it travelled faster in the water than the other toys.

There were 29,000 ducks plastic ducks. A boy collected 98 of these ducks and people call him Duck Boy (played by Mark).

In Summary:

It was so cool because they sometimes make up parts of the performance but there are facts too! I would never forget this.
