My trip to the Museum♥

Gallerys...

1-Pukaki was believed to be a Maori Protector, born in the 1700's, carved in 1836.I liked that Pukaki was returned to it's home/haukainga

2-This gallery was about the waka Te Arawa and it's arrival to New Zealand/Aotearoa. It was quite interesting learning even more facts

3-Gallery three was about all the objects Maori used back then. I found it quite interesting that Tutanekai's flute was made of a dead mans right arm.

4-I learnt in this Gallery more about patterns on the whare, and found it fun looking for all the spiral designs on the Pataka/Food Storage Area

5-This exhibit was very exciting, it was an exhibit of what Europeans brang to New Zealand(e.g-Organ)

6-The Mt Tarawera exhibit was exhilarating, Information about Guide Sophia,the story about the famous Guide who spoke both Maori and English and ran tours around the terraces was a remarkable story.

7-Gallery seven was very breathtaking, seeing as they had so much information on both world wars 1 & 2,  and had all the members of the maori battalion from Rotorua on the wall.

8-Gallery eight had loads of information about Rotorua born  celebrities like "Temuera Morrison". Another exciting exhibit it was.

North wing

-I found looking at baths got boring after a little while

-The Art Gallery was both interesting and devastating, looking at art of all emotions, happy, sad, angry e.t.c....

-I liked the Fairy Exhibit because i like playing Dress-Ups

-That sci-fi stuff was pretty cool, but was a bit creepy as-well

-The view was Beautiful, seeing Rotorua from there made me feel proud of where i was from.

-Downstairs where the pipe room is, was very small, but very AWESOME. It was scary and fun at the same time.

I had a netball tournament on Sunday.
We won-TEAMGRIMMIERAWWKS ♥

Frostbite is quite common.
Dying is too.
But on the tallest mountain.
It seems like climbing is the only thing to do.


29,029 ft in the air.
It seemed like he was dreaming.
But Sir Edmund Hillary was brave.
At the mountains summit, he was gleaming.


For years he was in the spotlight,
and for many more he'll be.
Climbing the tallest mohntain.
Is not your everyday thing.


Frostbite is quite common.

Hello

I played the ukelele today♥

My Weekend♥

I went to my marae and took heaps of photos (photography)
then i went for a swim
Bob said the water banana.
But tiny tim said birds smell.
No, Jimmy protested.

Homework xD

William moved towards the wooden door and pulled it  out slowly, but then he was jerked to the side, slamming into the kitchen fridge. People say it was a magnitude of 4.8, but William thought this time was different. It felt more scary, more horrific, and more shocking than usual, it must be because Christchurch hasn't had one in a while now, and they were just picking up the pieces. Some say it's a sign of the worlds ending, others say that it's just a coincidence, but i think it's because New Zealands sits exactly on the line of the ring of fire. Luckily, William didn't die, but was seriously injured. We are still finding out the results of how many were injured, and if any were killed.

Literacy-Chapter 22

In this very chapter, Matt found the Rothery stone, which is now buried in hot exploded mud along side with Skulla, you remember how Dr Ian predicted an explosion held in the Whakarewarea forest park, where Matt had been ambushed to look for gold by Skulla. Luckily Jackson is still alive, but barely coping with the hotness of the burning blood. Let's hope for the best ♥

p-That they found The Rothery stone

  -That they didn't die

  -That Jackson's alive

M-That they can't get The Rothery Stone back

   -That Jackson is badly injured

   -That the gang ambushed them

   - That the explosion injured people

   -That Cecil didn't warn the police about the Gang

I-That they found The Rothery Stone

MY TIME WAS 8:03 SECS

Literacy-Chapter 21

I think they will get out alive, because they are ofcourse the main characters, and because cecil(The Gawk) will probably want to put an end to Dubexkay♥

Chapter 20-Literacy

Matt and Eve found diamonds in the ponga tree, which is why it was so important to Mary Basham, another great hiding spot.

I personally think that they should help Ana, but not follow her. She is associated with the gang, and getting hit is the last thing he wants!

Chapter 19-Cry of the Taniwha...

a)Why did they go to the museum?

Matt and Eve Hastings went to the museum because he thought it would be right to return the sovereigns they found to his cousin, Billy, to put on display.


b)What do you think might be special about the ponga?
Edward had given the metal box and the ponga log to Mary as a gift. It must have some specialty to it otherwise Edward wouldn't have given it to her.

Cry of the taniwha-Chapter 18

WALT- Edit and proof read our writing.

-What does Eve do in this chapter
Eve went to Ian McMillans speech, about the rocks and bottles, and she also listened to how there may be another explosion the next week, so she organised a plan, to go with Ian to the woods and talk about the research with Matt.
 

-What is going to happened next

I personally think that since they faked finding diamonds, Matt will be in huge trouble and will most likely be beaten or, threatened. Although he may have protection, they just teased the gang, which will become more furious and more violent.

Chapter-16

Find the meaning of the following Words...
a)Console-A box you put games in pg116 para1
b)Briefly-For a short time pg 116 para7
c)bombareded- to attack verbally, esp with questions pg116 para 12
d)edition- A version of an earlier publication having substantial changes or additions pg117 para1
e)pendant- Something suspended from something else, especially an ornament or piece of jewelry attached to a necklace or bracelet pg117 para2

I like playing on my game console.
 I briefly talked to Bryanna about this stuff.
I bombarded Mrs Harvey with questions on what to do.
He threw the edition in the bin.
Louis Tomlinson bought me a dionmand pendant for valentines day, how sweet of him ♥

Chapter 17

Gawks real name is Cecil Hilton, but has no association with the Hiltons hotel and the celebritys.

Cecil Hilton lives in an old, iron garage, which is probably why he stole the gold..

Cecil gave the sovereigns back because he knew who WXK was and if he didn't give them back, Jackson would lead them to Cecils house.

Ofcourse i'd be worried for Jackson, because the last thing Matt would want is to lead Jackson back to the gang ...AGAIN

My time. 4:40mns

Cry of the taniwha

-Why did Hone get angry...
Hone was furious because Matt did not mention the gang threats and the bullying.

-Predict what is going to happen next...
Because Gawk stole the detector,I assume that he is involved with the Gang, and the gang are just bullying Matt now for fun. Jackson ends up showing his true self, and turns out to be a lying Panda. Louis Tomlinson proposes to Rangi, the person who's reading this book and Nihao Kilan ends up to be Matts real mother...♥

How is Matt feeling about Juzza now?

He wants to help him, because Juzza is so caught up in his gang association, that he dosen't realise that Skulla and the Gang are using him.

Who is Gawk?

"Gawk" is the name Matt uses to explain a perve, that is queer,  spying on lovers. In the book, Gawk has orange 90's styled hair, a tropical t-shirt and tight shorts, quite dodgy.

Gawk(creepy, dodgy pervert  queer guy) was interested in two lovers, doing their thing, in the bush. The book also states that Gawk got angry at Matt when Matt made a noise and stopped the couple from doing whatever and scared them away.
