Below the Earth

                                                                  Below Earth 1
Deep down in the earth, all is quiet, all is dark, nothing moves until a little girl unhurriedly peeped around the corner of a rock. “Mum?” she said softly peering around the dark damp empty space which was once Earth. “Mum!” she howled sucking her thumb. She heard a loud sound coming from further down. She screamed loudly scared of the noise. But just as she did she felt a hand wrap around her face and cover her mouth. The grip was so strong, so painful. “Quiet!” yelled someone pulling her back against the grubby dirt . She tried to scream for help but she knew there was no one else deep down in the earth. The person holding her tightly let go of her sharply making sure she wasn’t armed. “Please don’t harm me I did nothing” said 8 year old Gemini Zalback looking at the young girl who had almost killed her.

 “Nonsense, there’s someone else down here we have to make a move” The young girl said tugging at Gemini’s hand. “ How old are you? What’s Your Name? What year is it again? Gemini kept on questioning taking of off the girl’s fingers off her wrist one by one. “I’m Libra, i’m 12 years old, and it’s year 2089” said Libra irked and grasped tight of Gemini’s hand and pulled her further on down deeper into the Earth. “Why are we going towards the noise?” Gemini questioned nervously. But Libra didn’t reply instead she just continued sprinting . “ Please slow down” puffed Gemini tiredly. They came to a ravine. Lava was sitting at the bottom. “Jump!” shouted Libra jumping off the edge. So Gemini jumped. “No!” screamed a voice from behind!”

For our writing our teacher gave us an interesting story stater. The story starter was Deep down in earth, all is quiet, all is dark, nothing moves until.....
The purpose was to narrate.
The audience I recommend would be people interested in adventure.
I hope you enjoy my Book. Below Earth.

3 States of Matter

Did you know that the particles in gases are further apart than the particles in liquid? That is what we learnt. The animation that me and my friend Loveleen did. The animation represents the 3 common states of matter, Liquid, Gas, and solid. I hope after watching this animation you learnt something out of it. I'm glad if you did.

Whanaungtanga Korawai

This is the front and back of my Whanaungtanga Korawai. On the front is a picture I drew and colored in, it represents where I come from and a picture of me stuck on the Korawai to make it look like i'm in it and then we glue on our pepeha ( which is  basically a Maori all about me. On the back it has feathers I wrote on, dyed and then glued them on my Korawai. On the feathers I wrote my skills, what I care most about, one thing from last year I'd like to change, I feel good when someone says I'm.... and so on. We also drew Maori patterns around our border and then we cut out 3 strips of brown paper and plaited the paper, we then glued the plaited brown paper on our Korawai's and that was the back done.
The Korawai's took a few days to finish.

Ruby All About Me

It's the start of school for 2018 and we were told to create an all about me to let other people know some more about us. This All about me tells everyone all about me, and what I like to do and all those sorts of things. This was really fun to do. I hope you enjoy my first post of 2018.

Kaikoura Earthquake

A year on from the Kaikoura Earthquake said to be a 7.8 quake, the town's harbour was re-opened and ceremonies were held, parts of the South island are more than 5m closer to the North island.  New research was also revealed.

A study led by GNS is being published in the Journal Science.

The roads were crushed and drivers were unable to get to the town’s harbour before it reopened around the months  December to February

The Earthquake occurred on the 14th of November 2016 at exactly 11:02 PM.

From Kaikoura to Cape Campbell, the Earth was pushed closer to the North Island, as well as several metres higher in various places.

The Earthquake ruptured along a record 21 faultlines.At Least 12 major crustal faults were involved, as well as nine lesser faults.

It’s now reopened and as normal as it used to be apart from the cracks and ruptures it made.

Ruby's 3D Printing-Phone Case

This is my phone case I made on tinkercad. It was really challenging because we had to make all the holes in the phone. It was still quite  fun though.The first thing we had to do was make a box the size of a phone. Then we took the  chamfer edges and turned them into  fillets  to do that you needed to get a box shape and get a Cylinder-hole and then put it in the right place to make a corner then group and you will have a corner then duplicate the corner x 4 and put it on all the edges.  Chamfer and Fillets are when you have a sharp edge and you turn it into a round edge. It was now in the shape of a phone case.

After we made it look like a phone case we put all the holes in it. But it needed a hole to put the phone in. So then I made the edges on mine and I was done. The most easiest part(By the way I haven’t done it yet) was to print it. Because the machine did the printing for you apart from the fact that it might not work./fillets.The hardest part was making all the holes because you had to find out where all the holes would go and how to put them.  My phone case wasn’t exactly the best and would probably only fit an ipod but it was still worth it. The experience was fun but challenging which was a good thing in my Case!-get it CASE!
