Kanye - Explanation Writing - Camels

Explanation - Camels

Camels change physically throughout their day it helps them with the temperature that there in ,these animals can last a very long time without water and an even longer time without food I will be talking about how camels can adapt to their surrounding area.

Camels are very special species they are able to survive through incredibly

hot temperatures such as 42.C ,they are able to do this because they have thin

skin that keeps them cool throughout the day and thick fur on top of their humps

that keep them warm overnight.

Camels store food inside of their humps and have thick lips that help eat

twigs and cactus's which contains water in them, Camels also have two

eyelashes these eyelashes help keep sand out of their eyes, in the desert

day time is really hot but during night it’s cold the reason for this is because

there is not as much vegetating so when the sun goes down the sand loses

its heat causing night time to be cold.

Camels are surrounded by sand and heat with hardly any water or food

 around and with enough wind force the wind can cause a sand storm to

emerge so at a time like that it can become extremely dangerous. They

still can survive and organise themselves in that condition can you

imagine how hard it will be if we were living just like them well

for a camel it’s an everyday process.

Camels are spectacular animals if they can survive with

the amount of ,heat ,water ,food and including the changes that

they have living in the desert is no sweat for them.

Formal/Informal Language

Formal

 Informal

These are two different letters that represent Formal and Informal language, formal language is used when you are trying to get into a job or giving a speech in front of important people. It is so important to use formal language when you are speaking to your boss. Formal letters are often written to will known people or for job interviews to show respect and gratefulness.

Informal language is used when you are talking to your friends, family or every day people that you talk to except for your boss it's not that important to talk formally to your family you could if you wanted to if you wonted to show respect but I that it will be a little bit weird.

The other one was with the other group and they had worked on it founding six things that they could label as a group.

History Of The Panmure Bridge - Kanye

History Of The Panmure Bridge

The Panmure Bridge was not always there at first, There was a punt that people had to pay 3 pennies just so they can get across the tamaki river. The punt was used by pulling yourself across the river because there was never a bridge to get over the tamaki river at the time.

The first Panmure Bridge was built between 1864 - 1865, Mr WR Collet designed the first Panmure Bridge but people were only able to walk across the bridge so that it won't break, But fortunately the bridge didn’t last long there was problems with the bridge so it was broken down and replaced with the second Panmure Bridge

The second Panmure Bridge was an even stronger bridge that was built out of stone in 1916, One of the people that had helped or took leadership of the bridge had driven a tractor across to show all of the people how strong the bridge was, Then all of a sudden the side of the bridge slowly started to crumble and fall apart, There was complaints about the bridges safety and was unable to be used until it was fixed or replaced, That's when they had to build the third and last Panmure Bridge

The third Panmure Bridge was built in 1959 and is still standing till this day, This bridge is strong enough to hold six tones and is still in perfect condition from 1959 - 2018, The bridge is now used by hundreds of people and is now free to cross when ever you won’t to.

A lot of things has happened over these years but the Panmure Bridges past still remains unforgotten and as a piece of history waiting to be told.  A lot of people had fighted so hard for this bridge to be built and has now become a gateway from Panmure to Pakuranga/Howick.

Bridge building

Today for inquiry we have finally put our bridges to the test this is a photo of me and my group with the bridge that we have created to take this test head on but sadly the bridge that we have made only could hold 2 bricks it wasn't what we were hoping  but 2 bricks is good enough. The bridge that could carry the most bricks had up to 8 bricks so congratulations to the group that had the mush bricks. We have been working and studding about this for a long time and we've also learned heaps about bridges and what types of bridges are more stronger. The strongest shape of them all is a triangle, why? because a triangle has three sides meeting at an angle, so when you add pressure to a triangle all of the pressure gets spread around.

Number To The Power Of The Number

For maths we have been learning about Exponents (Powers) these are three examples that I have solved and chosen to show what Exponents (Powers) looks like and what it can add up to.
Eg. 7 to the power of 3 will be 7x three times so (7 x 7 x 7 =)  once you find out what 7 x 7 = (49) then you'll have to use the other 7x and times that with the 49 so (49 x 7 = 343)

Trip To The Sky Tower - Kanye

Today at Panmure Bridge School the years 3/8 had token a trip to go and see the Sky Tower.

Panmure Bridge School will like to thank Mr Johnston for letting us take place in this event, Mr Dobson for helping us and for being a parent helper, And Douglas Bates for donating us the money so that we can go on this trip.

The worst/Best thing that has ever happened to me - Kanye

The worst thing that had happened to me is when my Nan died and on the same day we buried my
nan, was the same day that my friend had died in a car accident then 4 days latter my other friend
committed suicide. It’s been hard to remain happy cause of all the things that happened in the
past but I gotta accept the fact that there in a better place other than having to keep on putting
up with all of the hard and depressing things that this world has to offer. The best thing that has
ever happened to me was meeting someone very special that I wanted to be apart of my life but
life doesn't go as planned so we went our separate ways and I through that doing that would be for
the best of us we don't see each other at all anymore but even till this day I’ll always remember the
things that we did together.

Tunnel Vision

Lee’s eyes widened and he grinned when he saw what was ahead.  Kerry bit on her
bottom lip and frowned slightly. Even though they could see the end of the tunnel, it
looked very small, a long way off and it was very dark in the middle.  

Water dripped down the walls at the entrance and there were puddles inside the tunnel.

Kerry looked at the light sandals on her feet.  She was sorry now that she’d argued
when she was told to wear boots.  Lee, meanwhile, had control of the torch and was
shining the beam on the dripping walls.

Although it was summer it was quite cold in the tunnel.  She rubbed her bare arms to
keep warm.

“This used to be a train tunnel,” said Robert, as they went deeper into it.  “They dug
up the rails and now it’s part of a walkway.”

Kerry was trying to avoid the pools of water that she knew were there, but couldn’t
see.  As they walked, Robert told them the story of the railway line that used to go over
the hills  and how there were many short tunnels. He told of how it was a long, slow
and difficult journey.  These days there is just one long tunnel under the hills and you
are through to the other side in just seven minutes.

It wasn’t til they reached the end that Kerry realised that the only way back to the car
was through the tunnel again.

a.  How was Kerry feeling when they were at the tunnel entrance?  Why did you say
that?

Kerry had felt cold rubbing on her bear arms.

b.  Why was Kerry sorry that she’d argued?

Kerry felt sorry because she was wearing light sandals instead of boots and there was
heaps of water pools in the tunnel.

c.  Why couldn’t Kerry see the pools of water?

Kerry couldn’t see the pools of water because it was dark but she knew that it was there.

d.  Why had the rails been dug up?

They dug the rails up so that it can be about of the walkway.

Reaction question:

Do you think Kerry should have been better prepared for the walk through the
tunnel? Yes so she dont get wet and durty.  Why do you say that?

As Bad as it Gets

The Worst Day of my Life

I don’t believe it.  Last week it was ‘The best day of my life’ and now it’s this.  
Why can’t Mr. Thoms have more imagination?

Groaning inwardly, Jaz rolled her eyes, and hoped for inspiration.

OK. Let’s see now. The day I lost my Barbie doll. I was only seven, but I remember
the pain. Or the day I tripped over in front of the whole football team. No, I don’t
want the entire universe to know about that.

The day old Rexie died was pretty awful. I still miss his great big eyes and waggy tail.
He was a lovely dog.

I know! The day Dad lost his job. No that was his worst day. Anyway, he wasn’t out
of work long.

The day I missed out on getting into the national swimming team by three lousy rotten
seconds.  They don’t come much worse than that.

There’s so much to choose from.  My life is full of worst days. This one’s not so good
either.  Now I think of it, I’ve had a terrible life.

Jaz looked over at her friend Elyse, who was adjusting her wheelchair to be closer to
the desk.  Injuries from a car accident last month meant that she would be like this for
another six weeks. She watched as Elyse started writing.  She wrote without pausing,
quickly filling the lines.

Jaz turned to her own desk, lowered her eyes and started writing:  Three days after I
turned seven, I took Crystal, my Barbie doll, out on a picnic...

a.  What kind of inspiration was Jaz hoping for?

Jaz was hoping for a good inspiration about something to wright.

b. What did Jaz mean by ‘Why can’t Mr Thoms have more imagination’?

I think Jaz was saying that ‘Why can’t Mr Thoms have more imagination’ Because they
were doing something boring.

c.  What was Elyse most likely writing about?

Elyse will most likely to be writing about how she got into the wheelchair.

d.  Why do you think that Elyse was able to write  ‘without pausing’?

Elyse was able to wright without pausing because she had a story to wright about what
happened to her.

Reaction question:

Do you think Jaz had had a terrible life?  Why do you say that?

No because the worst thing that has happen to her is losing her barbie doll.

Gym

My only brother was also my twin.  You would think that because we were identical
we would act the same way and like the same things.  He was born forty minutes before
me and would often remind me of the fact. Because I was keen on sport, he would also
rub me up the wrong way by raving on about how sport was boring and a big waste of
time.

“Who, little brother,” he would jeer, “needs to suffer pain unnecessarily?”

When we turned fifteen my parents surprised me with a year’s subscription to the
In-Shape Gym.  Now I was able to join Brant and Ethan each Monday and Wednesday
evening to seriously work out. When they turned up at home to pick me up Josh would
be sprawled out on the couch mindlessly watching cartoons or playing his new
PlayStation.  He would poke fun at us and say that the best way to deal with an
urge to exercise was ’to stay calm and wait until it went away.’

“Just playing sport is bad enough,” he scoffed, “but working out is over the top.
 And Tim,” he says, leaning forward and screwing up his nose, “the only reason
you would want to go there would be to attract the girls!”

So it was a surprise, when having decided to go to the gym late one Thursday
afternoon, we saw Josh come out the side door dressed in a tracksuit carrying
a sports bag in his hand.  What’s more, he crossed the road and walked straight up
to a smiling Tammy Aster - the most gorgeous girl at our school.

a.  Why did his brother refer to him as ‘little brother’?

Because he was born 40m after.

He called him his little brother because he was born 40m after.

b.  Do you think the writer was happy with his birthday present?  Why do you say that?

Yes because he got to go to the gym and work out.

Yes because he wanted to work out seriously

c.  What present do you think Tim’s brother got for his fifteenth birthday?

Tim’s brother got the PlayStation and Tim got to go to the gym.

Tim’s brother got a PlayStation because all he wanted to do is sit down and play his game.

d.  Why do you think Josh was at the gym?

I think he was a the gym because he was meeting up with a girl.

Reaction question:

Would you like to be Josh’s brother?  Why do you say that?

No because it will be confusing.

Eeling

Our grandfather told us that rivers and streams around the country had once been so
full of eels they would line up to be caught.

“When we were kids”, he would say with a big grin “the creek was our local fish
shop.” His face then saddened. “Now, there’s pollution and big operations catching
our eels to sell overseas.”

Us kids headed up the road to an old wooden bridge that crossed a slow moving
creek. Dad said there were still a couple of big, mean, sharp-toothed eels hanging
around under it.

Willie got a sack and filled it with the stinking guts from the sheep Dad had killed
that afternoon.

He tied a long rope to the sack. Then he got the old kerosene lamp from the shed.
Mum said that she had learned to read by the light of that old lamp.  He then tied the
lamp to another long rope.

Luke and Tarzan’s job was to lower the sack over the side of the bridge and into the
water. Then they were to dangle the lamp above the surface. The idea was that the guts
would attract the eels.  The light would enable us to see any eels that came around the
bait. Willie, Reg, and I were on the bank. We had the job of spearing them.

And it worked.  That is until Tarzan got so excited he let go of the rope that the lamp
was tied to.

The two good sized eels we got were only half the size of the big eel that came around
just before the lamp was lost.  Because Willie had the idea to use it, we reckoned he
should go in and get it. None of us were keen to get in the water, but in the end we
all helped.  It was not in the best condition when we found it.

It wasn’t surprising that mum put an end to this method of eeling.

a.  Do you think the boys Grandfather had liked to eat eels?  Why do you say that?

Yes he liked it eat eels because they always went down and tried to catch some big
eels and they called it there local fish shop.

b.  What time do you think it was when they went eeling?  Why do you say that?

It was night time when they went feeling because they couldn’t see at night.

c.  Do you think Mum was upset?  Why do you say that?

She was upset because when they found it it was damaged and the lamp helped her
read at night.

d.  What do you think made Tarzan so excited that he dropped the rope?

Tarzan was to excited because there was a eel 4x as big as the ones that they had caught

Reaction question:

Do you think their method of fishing for eels was a good one? Yes and No

Why do you say that? Because they got the right equipment to catch the eels and No
because they damaged there mums lamp.
