thursday the barrier reef


NIWA - National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research

Artificially - fake

Atmospheric - the thing in the sky that keeps all 

High-resolution - means better quality

Examined by scientists - that means that scientists studys it.

Submersible - means it is a small submarine

Enabled - if you are Enabled you can do your work.

Seabed - is the thing at the bottom of the sea.

  • How do the scientists study the reef? What are they trying to show or figure out?  Of how much or lower their ph can go.

  • Why are the NZ scientists testing in an "artificially acidified sea water" - what does this mean?  It's like a fish tank where they use it to experiment on something.

  • Why does Australia have tropical coral and NZ have cold-water coral?   Because Australia is in the equator and NZ is nowhere

 near the equator.

  • Where does NZ cold-water coral grow? How far down?Why can't NZ have a tropical coral?  

The corals in Nz mostly grow for about 200 to 1000 meters down below

Nz cant have tropical coral because the temperature for the water in NZ is cold.

  • How do scientists get the cold water coral so they can study it?  Fishermen accidentally fished it up

  • Make a DLO showing 'before and after' type photos of coral reefs. Make a screencast and explain how coral reefs are damaged using your own words.

THE HAUNTED FOREST-narrative


In January the 21st 2018
Jack and Gave sad an amazing and also terrifying trip to the haunted Forest.
It all started when they were headed to Africa.
“Hey Jack are you ready?” said Gave
“Yes I CAN'T WAIT, I can't wait to see those adorable animals roaming in Africa”
“Okay let's go then so we won't miss our tickets for our flight”

As they got there chilling while flying, a mysterious shadow with black cloak was standing outside the wing of the plane. And by the time the clouds disappeared he suddenly vanished out of thin air and made Jack realize.
“UMmmmm Gave… What was that?”
“What do you mean?” said Gave
“There was a shadow walking in the wing of the plane”
“????Umm?????” confusedly said Gave
“There's nothing there, I saw nothing?”
“Never mind i'll just have a rest... it might be a imaginations” replied Jack
By the time they all rested an alarm suddenly went on and realized an engine was broken down. Jack and Gave tired of something but had nowhere to go.
Slow mode*
“I guess this is it” sadly said Jack
“I guess it is” cried Gave
“it has been good meeting you”
AND THEN...  BOOOOOOOM a huge explosion.



AFter the explosion:
“Ahhhh what happened” said Gave
“Are we dead!!”
“I don't think so i can still see the plane crashed but i don't know how we survived”
“But where are we??”
 “I don't know but i think we're stuck in this scary forest.”
As they walked around they couldn't seem to find the way out and suddenly
Jack finally realized that they had crashed on an island.
During the night they found an cozy old cabin and slept there but then a sudden sound came and whispered “there's no way out of here” and it kept repeating all over again.
They ran as far as they could and stopped until the voice was gone.

At the end Jack and Gave were never found again.

ww1 diagram and page 33 of underground soldiers


The First World War began in August 1914, when the German army invaded Belgium and then swept into France. The Allies stopped the German advance, and both sides dug a long line of trenches that faced one another. This was the Western Front. The space between the two sets of trenches was called no-man’s land. The Allies tried to capture the German trenches by sending thousands of soldiers across no-man’s land on foot. Huge numbers died after being shot at or shelled. To limit the risk to their men, both sides began to dig tunnels that led under no-man’s land. There they used explosives in the hope of killing soldiers in the enemy trenches overhead. This was known as tunnel warfare – the war underground.


Railey-during August 1914, the german army took over Belgium and after they did they charged at france and started to invade it but luckily the allies took advantage and stopped german from advancing. In both trenches there were german trenches and allied trenches but in the middle it's called the no man's land but no one actually made it to the other trenches while running cause they would just get shot. So they had managed a plan where the allies started to dig underground, make it to the enemy trench and put an explosive and destroy the trench..

THE TUNNELLERS FROM NEW ZEALAND 
The men who volunteered for the New Zealand Tunnelling Company were mostly miners from towns like Waihi or Reefton – or they were bushmen and labourers. They were rough, tough men, used to working in dangerous situations and looking out for their mates. Many belonged to trade unions and didn’t take kindly to authority, but they soon learned to march, salute, and take orders. In December 1915, after basic military training in Auckland, more than four hundred men left for the Western Front. Several smaller groups of tunnellers followed later as reinforcements. The Tunnelling Company arrived in the northern French town of Arras in the freezing winter of March 1916. Arras had once been beautiful – but by 1916, it was in ruins. Most of the civilians had been evacuated, and British troops occupied the shattered buildings. Every day, German artillery Æ“ red shells into the town. Other tunnelling companies were already based near Arras, and each one was in charge of a certain area. The New Zealanders were sent to replace French tunnellers who were digging beneath a network of trenches named the Labyrinth. It was here – just north of Arras – that the New Zealanders joined the war underground. 

Trade unions - a group of workers who come together to fight for better working conditions (E.g. cleaner places, better pay, better hours). 
Waihi - a place in NZ - north island - where they had a big mine.
Miners - people who worked in mines
Labourers - people who had labour intensive jobs (E.g. builders, carpenters, road workers)
Ruins - a building that
Civilians - normal people, not soldiers
Evacuate - to leave
Occupied - stayed in 
Labyrinth - a type of maze

Mariah:Some group of soldiers had one job it was to make many tanall and fams too. In December 1915, after basic military training in Auckland, more than four hundred men as part of the NZ Tunnelling company left for the Western Front.Their job was to build tunnels near the French town of Arras.

Wesley: Nearly all the men volunteered to invade the Western front. All of the civilians were evacuated before NZ got to the Western front. The NZ tunneling crew arrived at the Northern french town in Arras in the freezing winter of March 1916. They had to dig tunnels underground for their job. They were to dig under the enemy and explode them.

Michael: all of the men who volunteered for the NZ Tunnelling company were mostly miners from towns like Waiho or Reefton or they were bushmen. In december 1915 basic military training in Auckland, more than four hundred men left for the western Front. A group of the military's job was to  build tunnels underground. They had to dig  under the enemy so they could throw bombs and EXPLODE the enemies. The NewZealanders were sent to replace french tunnelers who were digging beneath a network of trenches named a type of maze.



Davlyn: In 1915 the men that volunteered had to dig tunnels under the enemy's trenches, and in some of the tunnels had explosives but they had to dig really deep. The men had to be good at their job, so if you got someone that did not know how to mine they, they will probably die but if you get a person that new how to mine they will not die and make better tunnels. 

Hope: There were Men who volunteered for the New Zealand tunnelling company and they were mostly miners from towns like Waihi and Reefton. In December 1915 after basic training in Auckland more than four hundred men left for the western front. Several smaller groups of men followed after as reinforcements. They had to dig under the enemy so they could throw bombs 
 Eh htoo: In 1915 man who volunteered for the New Zealand Tunnelling were mainly miners from  WaihÉ’ or Reefton or just bushman the men who worked there they had to be rough, tough men and looking out for their mates.    

Railey- During WW1, 1914, the mens that volunteered for the NZ tunneling company, were put to dig underground  to go to the enemy trench. But the mens that were picked were mostly Farmers and miners that were  mainly from Waiho or Reefton.

from towns like Waihi or Reefton 



What are “counter-mining operations”? 
Counter mining is when a country explodes the other trench or tunnel.

Where did the names for the different parts of the tunnels come from? 
 Named after different cities in NZ - E.g. Christchurch, Auckland. 



Why was it important that the men in the tunnelling company knew what they were doing? Why did they need to be experts?
So nothing worse can happen like, rocks falling. and they have to be experts so they know what they're doing.

maths


E.g. 
¼ = 4 pieces = 100 divided by 4 is 25. So 0.25… which as a percentage is 25%
⅛ = 8 pieces = 100 divided by 8 is 12.5 .. so as a percentage 12.5%

When there is a numerator larger than one, take your percentage and multiply it by the numerator. 
E.g. 3/5 = 5 pieces = 100 divided by 5 is 20. So ⅕ is 0.20 (or 20%)... 3x20=60, so ⅗ = 0.60 (or 60%)
