A Miners Nightmares

Mining Disaster

In Chile on august 5th 33 male adults (oldest 63 Mario Gomez) mining for copper & gold were eating their lunch in a cave when rocks weighing approximately 70,000 tons came tumbling down trapping them in their coffin.

The thing that the rescuers worry about the most is panic attacks & blood clots. Since the miners have been trapped for 2 months with no sunlight the miners have to wear special sunglasses to protect their eyes when they get out.

The rescue is underway, they start by drilling a shaft for the capsule (10 ft tall,21 inches wide) to drop down. The rescuers have put a video camera in the capsule thats gonna be fixed on their eyes so they can tell/see signs of panic attacks. The miners are estimated 2300 feet underground so it will take about 48 hours to get all miners out.

(In conclusion) i'm sure it will be a relief when they get out, everyone wishes families good luck

and all we can do is hope this will work smoothly. They are sure to get lots of money when their free.

On Thursday the 14th at about 3:00 clock all the miners were out.

The Chile miners

On August the fifth, 33 men from Chile were mining copper and gold but 700,000 tons of rock fell and trapped the men. The oldest person down in the mine is 63 year old Mario Gomez. The mine is 2300 feet deep.

The problem for the men is if panic attacks start. They've been down there for 68 days. If they get blood clots it won't be a nice sight and they need sun light.

The rescue capsule is 21 inches wide and is ten feet high. They needed to drill a hole down first to send food, water and supplies. The capsule takes about 20 minutes to come up and down for one person. It will take 48 hours (2 days) for the whole operation.

In conclusion we all hope the men get out safely. They will want to see there family's because of how long they've been down there. They will get lots of money from interviews.

the miners tomb

On August the 5th while digging for copper and gold 700,000 tons of rock trapped the 33 miners(oldest 63 Mario Gomez)

The miners may have panic attacks or blood clots. they have not seen sunlight in 2 months which is why they need sunglasses,

the rescuers are using t130 drill to make a shaft to lower the machine(capsule) it will take twenty minutes per person 2 days for everyone .a ten foot capsule will be sent down.

there will be a lot of anticipation for the men they will be paid a lot because they will go on talking shows . they will be very happy for they can see the sun and their familys

Production lines

Room 13 have been learning about production lines for our inquiry over the last fortnight. We learnt that one tiny mess up in at the start could impact hugely on the final product. We also learnt that each organisation on the market would have a special department for each section of the product. Within those departments they would have specialists taught to make the best sub-section of that product to the best quality avaliable. The advantages of using a production line to make these paper planes was that it was faster, more efficient and made a better quality finished product. Here are some photos of our paper planes while in the production line.

On St Clair Hills

High on St Clair hills

The wind and rain around us

Seagulls squawking in the sea

Trying to eat you and me

Seals glazing on the beach

People climbing up and down the sand dunes

People walking down the beach

people coming near and far to see

Up on the hills we can see

People walking talking everywhere

Hills looking like crashing waves

Ready to land in the sea

White Island way out at sea

Looking like a whale breaching the surface

Walter so salty so blue

like the hot salt water pool

Where i know it's safe from predators

St clair poem

High on the hill of st Clair,

nice views of the rolling waves,

crashing and splashing againsted the sea wall.

I walk around to seconds beach,

I hope the cliffs don't fall,

I walk and talk about the hills,

I'm not scared any more

The life boats swim and swim out to save someone,

the waves crash up againsted the point like kid jumping,

in a puddles.

I jump up and down the sand dunes, as it erodes even more,

a person told me that's a no no don't do that any more.

St Clair Sands

The St Clair poles loom over the water

The wind howls in my face

As seagulls beg for food on the esplanade.

The shark bell stands still.

The esplanade lights up at night

As the smell of pies from pixie pastry wafters

Seconds beach tucked away

The salt water pool untouched all winter

As waves crash against the sea wall.

Yellow eyed penguins waddle along the endless beaches

Car scream down the esplanade

Horses trot along the dusty racecourse.

The seals sunbathe all day long

Dogs bark at cars rushing down the road.

Animal Cruelty

Do you think that it is right to kill animals just for a bone or some skin? THIS HAS TO STOP before they become extinct. Some people kill animals just for a tusk and skin.Some men just leave the animals lying dead on the ground roting away.

CAGE'S: bird's should not be allowed to be keeped in cage's because god has given bird's wing's so they can fly but if they are keeped in cage's they can not fly so bird's should not be allowed to be keeped in cage's.

HUNTING: You should not be allowed to shoot animals just for fun, if you shoot an animal you have to eat it.

In Conclusion tiger's should not die for a bone or skin elephant's should not be killed for a tusk this has to STOP!!!

Animal Cruelty

Animal Cruelty

Imagine if someone got killed because someone else wanted their teeth or your bones. How would you like it your pet was in this situation.

Did you know tigers get killed just for bones in their body. How would you like to be killed just for bones in your body and the rest go to waste? Cruelty is one fashion statement that we can all do without. Because animals have their rights but some people don 't seam to know that.

Get a fell for fur slam your fingers in a car door. (Anonymous, on the use of steel traps to capture fur-bearing animals.) Men don't even care they just sell the fur for MONEY!!! Poaching is a major sport and these are the animals that are suffering Tigers, Elephants, Leapords, Jaguars (Panthers) Animals have their rights.

God loved the birds and invented trees. Man loved the birds and invented cages. I think some animals need to be in cages and some don't. Some that don't are Pigs, Birds. Some that do are

dangerous animals. Animals have their rights!!!

In conclusion =Tigers keep on getting killed for bones and fur, everyday in poaching they kill heaps of an animal then when most of that animal has gone they move onto another animal,most animals need to be let free fro cages.

SO WHO'S SIDE ARE YOU ON????

Animals welfare

Animal Welfare

Imagine you as a Ferret, you're nosing around and something hits you in the back, you feel drowsy and notice a blue dart hanging out of you're back and you hear laughter as you're eyes droop down. when you wake up you sight a shinning blade is powerfully swinging at your back you try to escape but before you can the knife makes contact with you're back.

They skin you and then either throw you out or give you to some ferocious dogs e.g Pitbulls or Rotweilers. The killers take you're skin to the black market and sell the skin to a fashion designer for a couple of notes.

Then the fashion designer will give it to a model who will treat it badly, like stretching it or at the end of a catwalk she might throw it into the crowd.If not the skin will be stored away and will never be used again, but if the model does throw it the person might take it home and use it as FURniture.Is it worth it?

Back to the black market, this time a hunter sells a live animal in a tiny cage for animals half it's size, a lab tester might buy it now for about $70-$150. The lab tester will now test sick experiments on this poor and innocent animal looking for pray, e.g new food or drinks or maybe even dishwashing liquid. this has to STOP.

In conclusion caught poachers should have to go jail, fur should only be treated as clothing only on it's original animals back and one of the worst, lab testing imagine you be forced to drink or eat food that could damage you're health which was once perfect.

As Sri Aurobindo told us "life is life whether in a cat, dog , or man. There is no difference between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception of a man's on advantage" Who's side are you on?

Animal Abuse

Imagine if you were being skinned alive for your flesh. This needs to stop because other animals are going to be extinct.

Did you know that Elephants are only being killed for there tusks. Tigers are only being killed for there bones to be shown exhibits. Rhinos are only being killed because the hunters want there horns. Whales are being killed because people want there baleen, also dogsare being killed because some people want to use there their teeth as necklaces accessories and they are being killed in japan because the Japanesepeople eat the dogs meat. Could you imagine being killed and skinned alive, Animals Have Rights You Know.

Did you know that at the black market they cell tiger fur for about $50, They cell horse hair and skin for about $100, They cell leaped & panther skin and fur for about $100 too. Cruelty is a fashion statement that we can all live without. Could you imagine being killed and skinned alive, Animals Have Rights You Know.

Did you know that exotic birds are being kept in cages so are pigs & dogs. God loved birds and invented tree's ,man loved tree's and invented cages. Could you imagine being killed skinned alive, Animals Have Rights You Know.

In conclusion do you think it is nice to keep animals in cages or being killed for fashion accessories or using the bones of animals for being shown in exhibits just for fun, so think about that, what can you do to help? and who's side are you on?The killers side or our side?

St Clair:- Poem

High on St Clair hill the salty air blows

against my face while kids are in the muddy puddles

cant wait till the winter goes

Down the hill at St Clair beach the waves are wild

the sand is white and not a surfer is in sight

cant wait for the wind to be mild

In the morning the sun is out listening to kids laugh and shout

and dogs are barking at seals while the surfers are watching the pups come about

At night people are having fish n chips licking their chops

while sea gulls are swooping down trying to steal their dinner

The St Clair I know

The sea High on the St Clair hill

The sea dazzles and sparkles before my eyes

The reddish, yellow sun sits high in the sky making a sparkle to my day

The seagulls squawking above my head like a never-ending debate, planning to steal my fish ‘n’ chip tea

White island looming deep out at sea like a whales arching back*

I imagine the St Clair soldiers marching down the sand the poles are a reminder of those how fought.

Wind, and the rain *

might drive you insane *

But the views high up on those on those rolling hills, is enough to calm a tiger

The esplanade is busy attracting people to its amazing café’s begging people to come *

The dunes and views are never the same

The creatures are the things that make the eco-system complete

The cute little seals riding the waves

If you are lucky you might see frisky penguins bounding about

Dogs galloping up and down the beach never stoping for a breath

Seagulls flying high in the sky

Sand hoppers never stop hopping

The salty smell filling your nostrils

The sandy taste fills your cheeks

Hear the waves crashing on the sand

Look at the amazing view

I wouldn’t have it any other way

3-D nets

Last week Rm 13 made a city out of 3-D shapes. It was really fun, we learnt we had to be good at certain things to make it work. And is wasn't all fun all fun and games, it was actually quite hard. We will show you how we made them.

First choose a shape, For instance, why don't we make a pyramid. First get a piece of paper and find the exact middle of the paper and put a small dot. Then draw a 6 by 6 square (making sure the dot stays in the middle) Next draw a 6cm triangle on each edge of the square. Finally you can draw the tabs on the opposite of each triangle. Now you can glue or cellotape the tabs to the shape.

Well, that's how you make a pyramid.
On our journey we learnt the names of shapes, vertices's, edges and faces. At home you could even make your own. We learnt we had to good at measuring.

Nets and 3-D shapes

last week room 13 made a city out of 3-D shapes it was really fun making it .We all made a house or a building Nick made some mini stand up people .

At the start of the term most of us could not make a 3-D shape we had to learn to measure the parts of the shape and we had to draw them out and put tabs on the shapes . Most of us put on too much cellotape.

The legend of Taiaroa's head

Long long ago above the clouds of Aotearoa lived Maui and the gods, and among them was Taiaroa Porima Flavell, tamaiti or son of Tane Mahuta and god of the land. Taina Te Ngahue taukine or sister of Mauri, goddess of wisdom and Manawa Rakate, whaea or mother of Maui and goddess of love.

One day Taiaroa and Taina got into a fight about who was toughest. (of course Taiaroa was) Taina clutched Manawa's taiaha as Taiaroa clutched his and they battled for three days and three nights until finally Taiaroa knocked down Taina and claimed his victory.

Manawa was outraged at what Taiaroa had done and knocked him out of the clouds with her taiaha and hurdled down after him. She smashed him down and made a harbour, then she ripped off his head, planted it next to him and let him sink down to the depths of the ocean.

So now if you glimpse over at Taiaroa's head you will know how and why Taiaroa Porima Flavell's head was planted there. It is there to remind people not to be big headed.

THE LEGEND OF THE ISLAND BROTHERS

One day a long time ago Kiwa the friendly whale set of to see Tangaroa the sea god. On the way, he spotted the Taniwha arguing with the keeper of the island. They were two island brothers came together as one. ZOOM!!! Kiwa raced to Tangaroa as fast as a cheetah on land running on land to Tangaroa to report what happened. Mean while Tamure was fishing not far behind the island he was catching the Taniwha's favourite fish father blue cods.

The Taniwha raced towards Tamure for the fish until the island gets in his way."You can not eat the villagers food, because you can not find any yourself. " said the island keeper wisely ," yes I can " replied the Taniwha rudely.He charged at the island and BOOM!!! "If you don't let me past , I will break you apart!" threatened the Taniwha. The island chose not to move, and the Taniwha had flames dancing in his eyes so he charged then aims for the top. SMASH!!!

Years later, people now see the islands as Green and White off the St Kilda, Seconds beach and St Clair Coast.

Long long ago above the clouds of Aotearoa lived Maui gods, and among them was Taiaroa Porima Flavell, tamaiti or son of Tane Mahuta and god of the land, Taina Te Ngahue taukine or sister of Mauri, goddess of loveand Manawa Rakate, whaea or mother of Maui and goddess of wisdom.

One day Taiaroa and Taina got into a fight about who was toughest. ( of course Taiaroa was) Taina clutched Manawa's taiaha as Taiaroa clutched his and they battled for three days and three nights until finally Taiaroa knocked down Taina and claimed his victory.

Manawa was outraged at what Taiaroa had done and knocked him out of the clouds with her taiaha and hurdled down after him. She smashed him down and made a harbour, then she ripped off his head, planted it next to him and let him sink down to the depths of the ocean.

So now if you glimpse over at Taiaroa's head you will know how and why Taiaroa Porima Flavell's head was planted there

There once was a great Ngati Porou Chief named Taina Te Ngahue.

Traveling south for a Hui in Oeipoti with another chief called Manawa.

and on his travels he was told of an evil phsyco named Taiaroa and to watch out for his Taniwha.

When in Otepoti Taina was greeted by a kuia singing a waiata and young boys doing a haka.

When Manawa saw him it resulted in a hongi. (a traditional custom of rubbing the noses together) When Taina went to sleep he heard someone say "wheres the kumara.'' Taina awoke

and saw two Taniwha and a man with grey hair"Taiaroa"he mumbled. then the man looked straight at him his eyes glowing red. Taina picked up his Taiaha then the man vanished into thin air with an arm full of kumara the Taniwha escaping with a lot of kaimoana.

The next night at the Hui Taina told Manawa of Taiaroa and his Taniwha. So Manawa got his best warriors to hide in the kumara pit and a fleet of ten waka to look for the Taniwha. the men and the waka were never seen again. That night Taina went to the top of Otepotis highest mountain and prayed all night to Tangaroa god of the seas to capture and kill these Taniwha.

In the morning Taiaroa rode in on his Taniwha and slowly followed Manawa.

At noon warriors found Manawas headless body in his whare. Tangaroa replied to Taina in his sleep saying the Taniwha will be dead by morning. So Tangaroa rose from the sea and froze the

Taniwha into stone. Creating white island and green island Taina sent a message to Tuturangiwhiu to take up the responsibility of Manawas Tangi. meanwhile he would confront Taiaroa. when Taina got to the end of the peninsula and he heard a noise so he turned around and to his surprise Tuturangiwhiu was with his men and was carrying Taina's favourite Taiaha.

Tika tonu was being yelled in the distance Taina grabbed his Taiaha and got ready when a flurry of red lightning and dust was happening at the tip when Taiaroa was showing, Taina chopped off his head. Thats why at the end of the peninsula its called Taiaroa head.
