Hurmanu 1

 Hey everyone welcome back today I had to write a diary entry as the three main people from the cay so I hope you enjoy have a wonderful day good-bye

(I will be doing it from the day the boat broke)

Mum 
So the boat that we were on broke today and I'm not with my son so I don't know if he is okay who hes with or where he is, I feel like this is all my fault because I'm the one who made him leave and now our boat has broken. I even told him that we will be fine and that that we will be able to keep moving and now we have been split up I'm really worried about him and I just want to know if he is okay and where he is. 

Timothy 
So I am stuck with young bass and he is asking so many questions he keeps asking for a long drink of water but we need to make sure that we still have a lot because we don't know how long we will be out here for. He keeps asking where his mum is and what my name is I've told him that I don't know where is mum is and I haven't told him my name yet. 

Phillip 
So the boat broke, and now I'm stuck on this raft with this old man who hasn't told me his name and a cat who's name is stew. The guy i'm with calls me young bass and i find it really weird but i still answer to it. I keep asking him where my mum is because i'm really worried about her, even though she told me that it will all be okay and that the boat will keep going but instead we had to evacuate it. 

10 survival tips for living on the cay

 Hey everyone welcome back today I had to make a list of ten survival tips for living on the cay I hope you enjoy have a wonderful rest of your day good-bye. 

The Cay What I remember

 Hey everyone welcome back today i'm going to tell you what i can remember from the first 5 chapters in the book the cay. I hope you enjoy have a wonderful day, Good-bye  

(I will most likely remember more when i re-listen to the story) 

In chapter one 
I remember that the Germans come and try to take over. the parents start fighting because the mum wants to leave, them having to hide 

In chapter two 

I remember them on the boat trying to leave. every one having to evacuate the boat, the kid on the raft with the other cat and the guy (I forgot their names)

in chapter three
them trying to survive on the raft, them getting to know each other, them talking about what happened with the boat

in chapter four 
The kid going blind because he looked at the sun for a long time, him getting the older guy to describe what is going on so that he can try picture it 

in chapter five 
Them trying to get a planes attention, them also trying to get a boats attention

The Langosta

 Hey everyone welcome back today there was another do now(Again sorry the post is late) this one is about a Langosta (A spiny lobster) I hope you enjoy have a wonderful rest of you day good bye.

Why the Langosta would be good on the cay
1. They live in sand (Wet or dry)
2. they are a native lobster (With out claws)

How might all aspects of the Langosta be used to survive ?

1. They are clear so they can't be seen by many people 
2. They are also red 
3. They eat soft body plankton

The Cay

 Hey everyone welcome back today i had to do a do now in hurumanu 1(Sorry that the post is late) I hope you enjoy this one is about the cay. Have a wonderful rest of your day good-bye 

Living on the cay would be really difficult because if you have a big wind storm you would get a lot of sand in your face and maybe in your mouth and eyes. Another reason why it could be bad living there is because if there is a high water level and because it is a low elevation you would get a lot of the water and you would be a flood and you would most likely have to evacuate. But it could also be a good idea because you have a good view out into the ocean ect. 

Drama

 Hey everyone welcome back for the latest weeks in the term we were learning about many things and i'm going to explain one main thing to you. Have a wonderful rest of your day, Good Bye

We did a fake name for the blog post

Name* of someone you envy: Tayla

What I envy them for is...They are really good at maths

After a good think to yourself: What is the really appealing thing here? (Not the obvious thing but what might be lying behind it).Because I want to be good at maths like them

How can I get more of this in my life? Practising a lot

What is envy?

Envy is when you are jealous of someone but you then soon realise that you can get their your self but you also realise that  its not because their good at something its just that your not there yet and they are \

What is envy telling you?

It is telling you that you can get their but your not there at that point and time

Schooner boats

 Hey everyone welcome back today In hurumanu 1 we are doing another do now about the Schooner boats. We had to write a descriptive piece of writing that describes what it looks like and then what we would see if we were on one. I hope you enjoy have a wonderful day thank you for reading my blog, Enjoy the rest of your day,  Good-bye 

The boat looks like it is a big pirate ship because it has big sales on the top of the boat it has a long deck so it can fit many people on it, it has places under the boat so you can sleep, it is in like a crescent shape so that there is a high up piece at the front and a lower piece at the back. If you were to be sailing on the boat you would see many other boats you would also see the sails flapping around so that it still has the wind pushing it. you would see the water floating past you as you move across the waters, you would see all the people around. you would see the clouds and the sky no matter what the weather, you would see birds many different types of birds. 

(Here is a photo of the boat)

The U-Boat German submarine

 Hey everyone welcome back today we had a week one to do for our Hurumanu 1 we had to research some facts about the U-Boat German Submarine. Our main things we had to do was Find out three facts about the submarine and then we had to find a video and say why it is a good video. I hope you enjoy good bye. 

Three Facts about the U-Boat
1. In world war 1 over 5,000 of them sunk 
2. It was 214 feet long 
3. It could only travel under water for two hours.

This video is a good source because it tells you what it was like when it was used the most and what it was like and how it worked. This video can tell you what you would mainly need to know about the boat 

Wananga

 hey everyone welcome back today in Wananga we are learning about friends while we were learning we had to read a short story then we have to answer our questions. Here are the questions, Thank you for viewing my blog, Have a wonderful day, Good Bye 

What is Taha Whānau? Taha Whanau is your social well being but it can also mean you friends and family

Why are 'good friend' relationships so important? A good friend is important because with out them you wouldn't know what a good friend is or how to be one or even how to know if you have one.

Why is Respect so important for all (not just friends) of our relationships? Respect is important for all our relationships because if you didn't have it your relationship would be really toxic
