1. 

Maui all ways asked to go fishing with his older brothers but they would make up excuses.

Maui made a fishing line from flax.  

Maui snuck into his brother's boat so he could fish.

Dear, Lucus 

I have been on the waka for 1 week now. I am still very nervous to be leaving everything I have and everyone I know. I have made some good friends already. I am also very excited to be going to a new country to see other places in our big world.

I hope to write back to you soon 

Fleur

Bonus.

I think it would be a fun idea but you would have to be quite strong

Described the issue that you have chosen

we have chosen to do homelessness because there are many people that might not have celebrated Christmas before or might not get to celebrate Christmas this year. We hope to help spread joy to homeless over the Christmas season by giving them gifts to help them. We want to help other people be happy an enjoy life even if they are not in the best living conditions. 

Who is affected? (Individuals or groups)

many people are homeless. they can be of any age whether they are still with there parents or they spent all their money on alcohol. also, our community is affected because we donate to help them.  

What are the issues? 

people are struggling to get money for food and housing. some kids might not have a school uniform or might not have shoes that fit them.

When did this start & how has it progressed?

They start with a job and a house then something happens and they lost their job and can not afford a house or food.

Sportsmen should not get paid to play sport 

I think sportsmen should get paid to play the sport. They spend so much time playing and training. The travel to play and people enjoy watching sport in their free time.

Sportsmen spend so much time on the field. They spend hours training to get to the best they can to benefit their team and the people that watch them.

Sportsmen travel all over the world to compete for different cups and competitions. They spend weeks maybe even months away from their family and friends.

So many people support sports players of all types. Some people spend heaps of money to see their favourite teams play. All these sports players spend time getting better for their supports. If players didn't get paid they might not want to play or travel.

I don't think national parks should be destroyed because if we keep destroying parks we won't have nature. We need nature for our animals and plants to live in.

We have so many native animals that live in our forests and are endangered. If we don't protect our forest then we are asking for our native animals to go extinct.

We need to look after our plants and trees. We have many animals that kill plants and we need to protect them.

Earth layers

Earth layers

This represents earth crust.

This milk represents the magma. This happens because the magma moves under the crust and breaks through

The the cocoa starts to move it forms islands like the world countries

We used:

We used milo but recommend cocoa

Milk

It was good because it showed us how the tectonic plates formed

It wasn't good because  It didn't work like we thought it would because we use a powder that wasn't that fine

You could improve this by using cocoa not milo

Another model that might work better is the one in the video because it work a lot better than the one done

Convection

Convective heat transfer, often referred to simply as convection, is the transfer of heat from one place to another by the movement of fluids. Convection is usually the dominant form of heat transfer in liquids and gases.

the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.
