59.5 Degree Argo




An Argo float is a machine that only  measures the salinity of the sea water and the temperature. Argo floats have batteries in it that will die after 5 years. Then the Argo sinks to the bottom of the ocean and stops working.

Christians Diary


Dear diary-


As I sit at my desk I hear a big *BANG*,  my teacher shouts "run" I start to panic and cry. All the students start to walk home but I ran, running past people screaming covered blood. My heart started beating faster than ever. I finally reach home with a sigh of relief. I lock my door hoping I would be safe. There was a toxic smoke coming thorugh my window, it made me feel nauseaus. I start to pray hoping I would be safe. Goodbye diary I need to help my family.

Our fun trip sailing!

                                                      Sailing!


On the 10/5/21 we got the best oppurtunity to go sailing. We packed all of our stuff that we needed which was spare clothes, towel, food and water. The bus trip was very long but we finally made it. 

The instructors told us safety rules and what to do. All of us had to assemble the parts and yes we did get a little bit of help. After we finished assembling our sails the instructors called us over to show how to make the sails go right to left. Finally we got to wear our swim suits and wet suit on top of it. We had to take the boats down which was really hard on the slippery concrete. 

We got in the boats. The instructors were in another faster boat to help us out. It was one of the most fun experiences in my life! Most of us fell out of the boats . . . it was so much fun falling out! 

Sadly our time came to an end. Sailing was so much better than I thought it would be, I would be glad to try sailing again.  I would like to thank St Johns Rotary and Yachting New Zealand for this experience.                           

 

   



             

                                                         
                                              

                                                 

 

Diary Entry as the girl

                                                                     Diary Entry 


Dear diary-

I felt guilt rushing into my brain, thinking  I would be known as the selfish girl. My mum whispered in my ear to give him the umbrella and I did what she said. I heard nothing just saw a nice smile, I assumed that he was happy after a long time. My mum thought of adoption. Maybe it would make his life a bit more joyful. We started talking when I suddently got a smell of muggy clothes I asked what it was he said It was his scarf that his dad gave him a long time ago. My heart was beating fast knowing we needed to take care him. I can actually play with someone!! We both knew that day we would go on family trips all of that kind of thing! I learnt a big lesson today... it's to always accept and be grateful.

Diary Entry

This is a diary entry I have written in response to a short animated movie we are studying of literature.


Dear diary-

This afternoon some little girl came by, when she came in the orphanage my heart started beating like no other. She reminded me of my little sister who got seperated from me. The little girl came with a yellow umbrella, suddently I got a scent of my parents perfume it gave my so much good memories with joy and laughter.
 I just thought I could take the umbrella and add it to my cubbord of memories. she came upstairs and saw that I took her umbrella. I wanted to explain but I didnt get a chance, my tears started to gush out like a waterfall, I wish I could just tell them the story of my deppresed life.

My Value- By Deva

 Today we disscused our values. We had to dig deep and think hard about what really counts. I chose the a smileas something I value it brings people, inculding me, Joy.



                    

We created our value in clay so we could think about our values more and what it meant to us personaly.
