Finishing School

Yay finally I don't need to wake up early, I mean I like school but it is just that we have to always wake up early and sometimes I get tired while I am at school. Oh and this term I have this challenge to see how many books we are going to read. The amount of books I said I was going to read was 5 and so was my friend Tauola. After reading one book I have to write a story review on that book.

Commercial Fishing in New Zealand

• New Zealand’s commercial fishing sector has built over the last 30 years.
• In the 1970s our fishing industry was largely an inshore affair.
• Offshore waters, beyond our 12 nautical mile Territorial Sea, were fished by the Japanese, Taiwanese, Korean, and Soviet vessels.
• With the introduction of the 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone in 1977 and the introduction of the quota management system in 1986, many New Zealand companies went on to invest in fishing vessels to fish the available catch and onshore factories to process the catch.
• The industry has also grown from being a predominantly domestic supplier to one of the nation’s leading export industries. In excess of 90 percent of all fish landed is exported.

Hunting The Hunters By Mary Sutherland

These facts is based on an article about Spiders.

• Not all spiders catch their food in webs of silky silk.
• Some hunt for their food, stalking and pouncing on their prey, in much the same way as a cat does.
• Because many hunting spiders are night-shifting  workers, the best time to look them is after dark.
• Six of the spider’s eight eyes work like mirrors.
• They reflect back a little of any light that reaches them.
• Light travels in straight lines, so if you hold you torch at eye level and shine it down into the eyes of a hunting spider.
• If a spider is carrying an egg sac or even a piggy-backing it’s babies, you’ll know that it’s a female spider.

The Magic Porridge Pot

Today I was reading a story called 'The Magic Porridge Pot'.The author and the illustrator is Rita Parkinson.The story was about a family would sell fire wood in winter and when spring comes nobody wants to buy fire wood.When nobody wants to buy fire wood the family runs out of money and then the family is always hungry.One day the girl was looking for mushrooms or berries to take home for her family.A lady showed up and sang to a pot and then the magic pot made porridge for the girl and she took it home and showed her family and the family never went hungry again.

Facts about the Weta

Here is a link if you want to find information about the Weta.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weta

• Weta is a common name for 70 species in the families anostostomatidae and rhaphidophoridae.
• The English word (Weta) is borrowed from the Maori language.
• The Maori-derived plural Weta occurs in New Zealand.
• While the anglicized plural wetas is generally used elsewhere.
• Many weta’s are very large compared to some insects.
• Many Weta are large by insect standards and some species are among the largest and heaviest in the world able to fly.
• Some weta’s are wingless and they are different from other weta’s.
• They are nocturnal, and all New Zealand species are flightless and some wetas are wingless too.
• Different weta’s have different diets (Food type).
• Weta’s can bite with powerful mandibles.
  
  
  

The Kakapo

• The Kakapo use their short wings for balance and support rather than flapping.
• Their feathers are much softer than any other birds because they do not need to be strong and stiff enough to support flight.
• Even though they can’t fly they manage to get around.
• The Kakapo has strong legs which make them good hiking and climbing legs.
• On the ground they move around jog-like gait.

Sometimes I can't remember

If these ashes came from flames

Will they just burn out again?

We can try, we should try

Someday I know we're gonna feel again

Just like we did when we were younger

Someday I know we're gonna beat again

Gonna beat again like a drum

Like a drum

Like a drum

Just 'cause I, I can't measure and I can't hold it in my hands

Doesn't mean, doesn't mean that I should just give up on chance

We can try, we should try

Someday I know we're gonna feel again

Just like we did when we were younger

Someday I know we're gonna beat again

Gonna beat again like a drum

Like a drum

Like a drum

We're gonna beat again

I can already hear the sound

And we're gonna beat again

Yes, I know that it shakes the ground

Ain't gonna miss a beat

Ain't gonna miss a beat

Ain't gonna miss a beat, yeah

Someday I know we're gonna feel again

Just like we did when we were younger

Someday I know we're gonna beat again

Gonna beat again like a drum

Like a drum

Like a drum

Like a drum

Like a drum

Someday I know we're gonna feel again

Just like we did when we were younger

Someday I know we're gonna beat again

Gonna beat again like a drum

Like a drum

Like a drum

Last Day of Softball Practice

Last  Softball practice:  

Today was an exciting day because it was the last day to practice because Mrs Tofa was picking the team out and I was excited and also scared at the same time.When the clock hit 1:00pm,  I started getting excited and nervous at the same time. Then I went and washed my face so I could calm down. After that  I went and had my milk and then I was really calm except for me being really excited. When the second bell rang, we had to stay in for 5 minutes because the lunch bell rang 5 minutes late.

After that 5 minutes, Keti and I ran to the field and grabbed a clove. Seconds later Mrs Tofa came up and told us to come because the Year 7 and 8’s were batting first. I started getting scared again but then when I batted,  I became very happy because I did it. After that I started to steal the bases and when Keti hit the ball I ran all the way to the home base.The only reason I got to home base faster was because I was steeling the bases while they were bowling.

But when I hit home base I was so tired and relieved that I actually made it to home base, I never thought I would make it to home base.Man when I was watching all the other students batting and I was amazed because they were very good hits.When it was my second turn to bat again I tried my very best to bat my farest I could and it wasn’t that bad.

When I hit that ball I ran straight to base 1 and they couldn’t get me out before I got to 1st base.While the bowler was bowling I was already stealing bases.When the next batter battered I was running to home base.Wow did that feel good to get back to home base.

After that practice was over and Mrs Tofa said that all the girls that showed up are on the team.I was really really excited, I kept jumping up and down because I was that excited.I even couldn’t wait for the next day to hurry up and come, I even started preparing myself and I even went to sleep early.
