limerck

By James.M

There once was a boy and his name is Roy
when he saw Lee he had a poi
the next day flew by like a bird in the sky
when he looked up at the sun he got a sore eye
that poor boy called Roy


There once was a clown
that dropped his hat down
stepped on a fat brown
when the people found out everyone did frown
so he ended up a lonely clown

There once was a Steve from Ta-mucket
Who gathered lava in his bucket
With a slap from behind
He'd been hit by a slime
He died, punched his screen and said "Tuck it."

A trip to the duffy show

The Duffy show 

The actors told us their names which were James, Anna and Louie. They told us the story that Duffy will be reading to us... the book is called "The Best Book in the World". Duffy has a bother called Scruffy...
Scruffy told Duffy that he can do some beat boxing but he wasn't any good at it. My favourite part of the story was when they started doing Michael Jakson moves and then he did PSY dance.

Our new coach Bruce is a basket ball player and when he 18 he got a million dollars.When we were listening to Bruce and when he was talking, he told as the meaning of basket ball and team work. We moved around quickly across the courts, like we were racing as fast as speeding cars. My heart began pounding hard when I had a turn at dribbling.It was such fun.
I am looking forward to our lesson next Tuesday.

The Rock Warriors

Before Maori explored the beauty of the lakes of Rotorua other people lived there. These people were known as Patupaiarehe.The Patupaiarehe people were very good gardeners and they were very good looking.

The Tipua people were giants and they were bad tempered. They decided to attack the Patupaiarehe people because
the giants wanted to take over the Patupaiarehe people's village.

The patupaiarehe people went to their leader to ask for help. Chief Tongakohu went to the top of Ngongotaha mountain and he lit a fire. After that he started chanting a magic spell. The leader of the Patupaiarehe people casted a spell on the giants of Tipua.

The Tipua giants could not move after they had taken a rest on their way to the Patupaiarehe people's village to attack them. The Tipua giants started turning into rocks.

Finally Tongakohu was able to save his Patupaiarehe people from becoming prisoners of the Tipua giants.

world war 2

Cas a global conflict that was underway by 1939 and ended in 1945. It involved most of the world's nations—including all of the great powers—eventually forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. It was the most widespread war in history, with more than 100 million people serving in military units. In a state of "total war", the major participants placed their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities at the service of the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources. Marked by significant events involving the mass death of civilians, including the Holocaust and the only use of nuclear weapons in warfare, it resulted in 50 million to over 70 million fatalities. These deaths make the war the deadliest conflict in human history.[1]

Although Japan was already at war with China in 1937,[2] the world war is generally said to have begun on 1 September 1939, with the invasion of Poland by Germany, and subsequent declarations of war on Germany by France and most of the countries of the British Empire and Commonwealth. Germany set out to establish a large empire in Europe. From late 1939 to early 1941, in a series of campaigns and treaties, Germany conquered or subdued much of continental Europe; amid Nazi-Soviet agreements, the nominally neutral Soviet Union fully or partially occupied and annexed territories of its six European neighbours, including Poland. Britain and the Commonwealth remained the only major force continuing the fight against the Axis, with battles taking place in North Africa as well as the long-running Battle of the Atlantic. In June 1941, the European Axis launched an invasion of the Soviet Union, giving a start to the largest land theatre of war in history, which, tied down the major part of the Axis' military forces. In December 1941, Japan, which aimed to dominate Asia, attacked the United States and European possessions in the Pacific Ocean, quickly conquering much of the region.

The Axis advance was stopped in 1942, after Japan lost a series of naval battles and European Axis troops were defeated in North Africa and, decisively, at Stalingrad. In 1943, with a series of German defeats in Eastern Europe, the Allied invasion of Fascist Italy, and American victories in the Pacific, the Axis lost the initiative and undertook strategic retreat on all fronts. In 1944, the Western Allies invaded France, while the Soviet Union regained all of its territorial losses and invaded Germany and its allies. The war in Europe ended with the capture of Berlin by Soviet and Polish troops and the subsequent German unconditional surrender on 8 May 1945. The Japanese Navy was defeated by the United States, and invasion of the Japanese Archipelago ("Home Islands") became imminent. The war in Asia ended on 15 August 1945 when Japan agreed to surrender.

The war ended with the total victory of the Allies over the Axis in 1945. World War II altered the political alignment and social structure of the world. The United Nations (UN) was established to foster international cooperation and prevent future conflicts. The Soviet Union and the United States emerged as rival superpowers, setting the stage for the Cold War, which lasted for the next 46 years. Meanwhile, the influence of European great powers started to decline, while the decolonisation of Asia and Africa began. Most countries whose industries had been damaged moved towards economic recovery. Political integration, especially in Europe, emerged as an effort to stabilise postwar relations.

This mission is the sixth chapter of the game. Which mission am I playing?

    Fuel Plant. This mission starts out with you in a train yard. The player then must get in a truck and provide cover from multiple German squads. Then, the player must plant two charges in specific places in the plant, thus destroying a key German fuel supply base.
In the game, you will hear many people referring to a Panzer. Just what exactly is a Panzer?

    Tank. The Panzer is the German counterpart to the Allied Sherman tank. They are both outfitted with similar weapons. The Panzer, however, is slightly smaller, giving it a slight advantage in head-to-head combat.

    Holding the left trigger to aim. This aiming style allows for a more realistic feeling while the player is playing. While holding down the left trigger, the character will aim down the iron sights of the weapon you have equipped. This allows for greater accuracy, rather than just firing from the hip.
In the first mission of the game, what type of building are you trying to fight your way towards?

Telegraph Building. The first mission of the game is called Saint Lo. In this mission, the player's tasks will vary from fighting troops on foot to being the gunner for a tank.

plants

  • Some plants are carnivores, gaining nutrients by eating various small insects and spiders. A well known example of a carnivorous plant is the Venus Flytrap.

  • Bamboo can be a fast growing plant, some types can grow almost a meter (3.28 feet) in just one day!

  • Around 2000 different types of plants are used by humans to make food.

  • Onions might taste good but they can be painful to chop. A gas is released when you cut onions that irritates you eyes, the tears you produce while this happens are your body’s way of washing it from your eyes.

  • In the agricultural industry, to ensure crops of food grow well water is often added to soil in the form of irrigation.

  • Plant matter found at the bottom of areas with water such as swamps can eventually turn into coal due to a process called metamorphosis (changing form).

  • There are over 200,000 identified plant species and the list is growing all the time.

  • Poison ivy produces a skin irritant called urushiol. Touching poison ivy will cause an allergic reaction, usually in the form of an itchy rash on the skin.
