Water Usage By Humans And Plants

                      

Every living thing in the world needs water to survive. All living things use water in a similar or different way. Every form of life needs water to live. Humans and plants both need water to live.

Humans need water to drink. Humans use water to shower,  toilet flushing, dish-washing, cooking, drinking and gardening. Our body is roughly 60% of water. Our brains has 70% of water and our lungs has 90% of water. Humans waste a lot of water by washing their dishes,, car washing and bath time. Humans need to drink lots of water to stay hydrated. Whenever humans do exercise they lose a lot of water.

Like humans, plants also need water. They need more water than any other living things in the world. Plants need water for photosynthesis. That's why plants need water because photosynthesis is what create food. Plants also need water to grow and create food and sugar. Plants use more water than animals. Plants use 90% of water. The water controls the plants temperature.  When we water the plants the water goes down the leaves to the stem. Plants need a lot of water like humans.

Humans and plants use water differently. Humans drink water and plants consume water. Humans need more water than plants. Plants need water for different things and humans need water for different things too.

Humans and plants both need water to survive.

Water is important to all living things on earth.

Gathering with the other schools

Getting Together With The Manaiakalani Schools

Noisy people,  children shouting and a really cool event.

    Last week, on Tuesday we went to Pt England for the Hokule’a Landing. Our four fabulous leaders who represented our school went to the front of the Haka group to do their actions. Every school had more than one leader.  Before we sat down we took  photos.

We weren’t sitting for long until the waka came. When the waka came we starting to sing one of our songs. Our leaders started off the song and then we joined in.  We saw smiling faces, calm waves and a lot of people talking. There were 11 schools and only one college which was Tamaki College. After we sang our first song this man from the waka started to talk to us. We were listening to the man speaking because we had to show manners.  When the man finished talking we started to sing our other song.

Some people from the waka came on this little boat and then they carried on bringing  other people to where we were  standing. Not that much people talked to us, it was mostly the men talking. This man said, “We are the children of the navigators."

The day was a special event and we got to high five the special guests. Room 12 were the first ones to high five them from our school.. It was really fun. At the end of the day we were THE CHILDREN OF THE NAVIGATORS.

St Kents PE Day

On the first day a St Kent's teacher came to pick up some students to go in the van to St Kent's. Sini went in the van with Miria, Cypress,  Anvae, and other students. When they arrived at St Kents she parked at the car park and walked us to the hall. 

 Some St Kent's students asked Sini and others if they wanted to play basketball with them. Sini said, "Yes." 
So they went to play with the St Kent's student.  When the rest of the school members arrived, they were already in their teams. They came to sit next to us. Sini’s group were playing basketball with one St Kent's students. Before they got into the game they had to warm up. After they warmed up they got to play.  

When they were getting into the game Mikayla went to play against another group and Sini went to play against Cypress and Simon's group. They had to mix the teams so Sini and Cypress were in the same team.

They had a lot of fun at St Kents.

                 Sini is as  sporty as a dolphin.

Dear Dairy

Dear Dairy

 I am really angry about how dad and mum have separated. I am also sad that mum spends more time with Becca and now I feel left out. I hated when Becca and Brian moved in because Becca got to have my bedroom.   I only like Becca because I make her do my homework.  

I don’t like it when my dad hurts  me because I get bruises. I’m sad when dad and mum argue  about me. I don’t really like talking to mum because she never listens to me.    

She always says to go to talk to dad. I only like him when he comes to my basketball training because I get to spend more time with him.  When dad ask for me mum says, “No.”

I am really happy when I’m with Jack because I give him alcohol and he drinks it and I look out if someone is heading our way.  Jack is the only person I can tell my secrets to because he is the only one who listens to me.  

I’m happy to write this down because I get it out of my mind.      

I’m as angry as a tiger.

EVERY CHILD HAS HOPES AND DREAMS

Life Of A Gallipoli Soldier

                                     Life  Of A Gallipoli Soldier

     

 On the twenty fifth  of April we landed in Gallipoli. When we landed the Turkish soldiers were shooting with their guns and   firing their bombs. None of us were hurt.  

We hopped  out of the ship  and grabbed our  guns and bombs. There were a lot of Turkish soldiers standing on the mountain shooting down at  us. We had to run to find a place to hide. We found a good place to hide in the trenches where the soldiers already dug them out before.

It was justed midday. It was the first World War and we were fighting for New Zealand and  The British Empire. We shot some of the Turkish soldiers . Jonah was a really good shooter  who aimed and killed  ten soldiers in a row.  

Next,  Private  Ronnie brought  Anzac biscuits for the New Zealand soldiers.  We all received   two Anzac  biscuits. because Ronnie brought four packets of biscuits.  

Private  Junior was really thirsty so our Captain said that we were only allowed a little sip.  Junior was really glad he  was allowed to drink.   It was time for them to go again  when they walked out and I saw some  soldiers  dead on the ground.  Luckily Privates  Ronnie, Jonah and Junior were  alive.

Later on we were really happy that none of them  passed  away. We were also proud to represent our country.   

As Proud as a soldier.
