My fitness goal is to try work harder and train better so I can reach about 15 laps.

My Beautiful Place

Far beyond the edge of the world is my beautiful place...

As I strolled to my beautiful place I could see the sunrise and the sparkle in the stars shining on me it was almost like I was the chosen one. As I jogged some more, I had saw the most tallest and enormous light house, it was shining bright like a shooting star and as tall as a giraffe.

When I looked around I could hear the beautiful ocean and the coldest waterfall dripping down like a herd of aeroplanes crashing down. The sand was drifting side to side like a cobra snake moving it’s head slowly by and the trees falling down like a tone of elephants on top of each other.

As I looked to the side I could feel the coldest water from the most richest pool in the world. I could also feel the gluey sand and the hardness in the rocks that were as hard as a rhino and as tough as a lion.

I could taste the fresh air and the salt coming from the most beautiful ocean it was as beautiful as a fresh flower full of honey.

As I had almost finished my journey through my most beautiful place, I took the last sprint through and smelt the most beautiful flowers, fresh air and the chocolate melting down like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

This is my beautiful place. Do you dare to come and visit my beautiful place?

Ireland Information Report

Ireland Information Report

Are you aware that vikings found the capital of Ireland? The name of this capital city is Dublin.

Have you ever discovered that the Irish people like to eat potatoes. They make potatoes with pancakes and potato soup.

Did you know that Brian O’Driscoll is a famous Irish rugby player? He is the captain for the Ireland Rugby Team. Have you heard about Enda Kenny. He is the Prime Minister of Ireland.

Have you ever been to Ireland? I haven’t but I know it is very cool because there is Irish dancing, hiking, golfing and there is plenty more!

Did you know that the Ireland rugby team had upset the Wallabies in the 2011 Rugby World Cup

Using Google Maps

This is a map showing all of the stadiums that are being played in for the RWC. I searched up all the stadiums putting pins on it using google maps. We also learn't this because we had to learn about google maps.

Describing Piri Weepu

Ebenezzer Baah

It was windy as I looked out from the stadium to see Piri Weepu...
As he was leading the Haka with concentration, anger and shouting.

Did you know Piri Weepu’s full name is Piri Awahou Tihou Weepu?
Have you discovered that Mr Weepu has scored 4 tries in his professional career? He has played for the Hurricanes, the Wellington Lions and the almighty All blacks.

Mr Weepu was born on the 7th of September 1983 and he weighs 97kgs. He is 1.78cm tall. Piri is a good player and a tough warrior. He runs like a cheetah and tackles like a bulldozer. Did you also know that Piri is that good at passing he made it in to the All Blacks, even after breaking his leg?

He is fit and brave man when he leads the haka. He’s a good role model and he’s a spectacular ambassador. When Mr Weepu played for the Hurricanes he had evaded and fended off the the opposition as he made his way to the try line.

What made really Piri Weepu so special to me was... that when I knew Piri was leading the haka and representing our country.

Washing Machine Explosion

There was little boy called Goku. He was shouting and shaking because the washing machine was out of control! He gasped with fear and shouted, "Everybody the washing machine is about to explode!" Goku had cried because his washing machine was destroyed. He ran for help and grabbed the officer's hand, screaming at him like he was his mother.

Monsoon Group

Tsunami discription

Tsunami Report

I am coming live from Japan with action. Firstly, I heard people crying, babies screaming and kids worried for their parents, it doesn’t stop there...

Then there was a huge tsunami that came with his friends busting down the people of Japan’s homes and shopping centers. I saw cars crashing and buildings reemerging up from under the sea.

Next, I smelt smoke coming from the swamp of terrifying danger. It kept on going for two hours.

Lastly, The people of Japan were heart broken and afraid because they didn’t want to die. I felt for them and I had to to do something about it, so I packed my bags and went
home and told my friends to donate.

Layers of the Earth

The crust has about 7 tectonic plates outside of the earth and it’s about 15 - 75 km thick.

Mantle:
The mantle is two different types parts, those are the upper mantle and lower mantle. The lower mantle is 2300km dense thick. The upper mantle is 400 km thick and that is also includes iron.

Outer core:
The outer core is 2300 km thick and it’s iron, nickel and sulphur. It is made out of liquid.
