Explanation-Erosion
Erosion is the process where rocks and soil is moved from one place to another.
Wind, rain, livestock and speedboats all cause erosion.
Wind moves topsoil and transfers it to other areas. Rain washes soil downhill on slopes. Livestock kills vegetation and the soil cannot be held. Speedboats cause waves which causes landslides.
We can plough right away, rotate stock and plant trees to prevent erosion.

The Nikau Caves
On Tuesday the 2nd of September, our class went to Nikau caves. We left school at 8 clock and travelled in the school vans. The trip there was long and very boring so we started playing, I SPY. The most exciting part of the trip was seeing the fat, funny, free roaming turkeys on the side of the road.
By the time we got there, we were starving, so we had morning tea which was two scrumptious cookies and juicy apples and oranges. After our morning tea we all split up into our classes and my class went for a bush walk. It was fun, full of steep hills with stairs and one huge swing bridge.
After our bush walk it was time for lunch and room 4 had not arrived back yet. So while we waited we chucked the rugby ball around and I ate my creamy, delicious, egg sandwiches. Finally room 4 came back and now it was our turn to go on an adventure in the caves, it was cold, dark and cool. There were stalagmites and stalactites everywhere I looked, I saw glow warms that were bright, shiny and they made me feel happy. During the walk we had to get down on our hands and knees and army crawl threw the crawling spot, the floor of the caves was full of water it made me shiver and my clothes got soaked. At the end of the caves we saw some spider webs which were stunning.
Leaving the caves, we headed back to the vans and on way we stopped at McDonalds for ice cream. It was an excellent day and I enjoyed it.

SAVE THE RAINFOREST RAP
Save the rainforest it’s time to take action.
We trying to heal the world like Michael Jackson.
Logging can beat it, cutting down trees.
Is something that needs to be defeated.
Endangered species equals extinction.
We need to give these animals more protection.
They’re hunted for their feathers skin and fur.
Tell me would you like it if we used your hurr.
To make our clothes, sell your bones for gold.
Or drove a bulldozer threw the middle of your home.
Chainsaws shredding everything that you own.
Chico Mendes that’s who I wanna grow..... up to be like
Hold up....
Let me kick some knowledge
Chico Mendes was guard of the rainforest..
Fought to save trees from the horror of loggers.
Got shot cause he stopped, stopped, stopped their process.
So don’t take everything we have for granted
Could be here today and gone tomorrow.
Could be here today and gone tomorrow.

Manukau Beautification
Yesterday we went to clean graffiti up under a bridge in Pakuranga.
Before we went Barbara and some police talked to us about graffiti.
The painting was so much fun for everyone that Bo and I were singing and dancing to entertain everyone.
Today I still have paint in my hair.

The Hare and the Tortoise
The tortoise and the hare
One day a hare wanted to race a tortoise. "Well ok," said the tortoise. So the hare made a finish line and a start line and then they stood at the start line.
"On your marks, get set, go!" The hare sprinted off leaving the tortoise choking in his dust.
5 minutes later the hare was puffed and said,"I think I might have a little snooze." He fell asleep. While he was having a sleep the tortoise caught up and passed the hare. The tortoise won the race.
The hare woke up from his sleep and thought," I better run." He made it to the finish but what he did not see was that the tortoise was laughing hard out and that made the hare so angry that he wanted another race in two weeks time. The hare thought he had better start practising.

Nightmare
It looked old, ugly, wrinkly, rotten and smelly.
It had bugs coming through its body and was green in colour.
He had vampire teeth with an arrow through his head and blood oozing from the wound.
He has no ears, no nose, blonde hair, bloodshot eyes and he is..... under your bed right now!!
With a knife.
BOO!!!

NIKAU CAVES
On Tuesday the 1st of September my class room 2 and room 4 went to Nikau Caves. We had to get up very early in the morning, which I wasn’t very happy about, but I was excited to be going on a trip so it was okay. We travelled there in the school vans, each class had their own van, and the ride there was as bumpy as a rollercoaster.
As soon as we got there, I was trying to be Michael Jackson doing the moonwalk and accidently stepped on Joe, the dog’s, tail and he nearly bit me. While we were waiting for room 4 we went on a bush walk and crossed a little swing bridge. It was broken and leaned sideways and was scary. We had to find numbers in the bush to keep us on the track and it was hard at times to find them.
When finally it was our turn to go to the caves, I fell over walking there. When we got inside the caves, we had to get into ice cold water. The cave was very small and I am claustrophobic, so I had to go behind Rob and he helped me through by shining his torch, so I could see where I was going. I was scared and cried in the crawling space but Luke helped me by going in front of me and Miss Stuart was cheering me along with Rob was communicating with me. I finally did it!!!
On our way home we were wet as and it was brbrbrbrbr......cold. My favourite part of the outing was playing with the lamb. Most of us were quiet in the van after an awesome, exciting and tiring day.....bzzzzzzzzzzz.
