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 awayAdd Image
The salt water pool untouched all winter
As waves crash against the sea wall.

Yellow eyed penguins waddle along the endless beachesAdd Image
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????
