MADD Diary

Today was our second to last week of our MADD messenger. Petia drew five shapes and the five shapes he drew were based on our personality. All of us had to choose a shape that was based on our own personality. Square stood for hard working , Rectangle stood for experiencing new stuff, Squiggle stood for creativity, circle stood for caring for others and triangle stood for leadership. My group rectangle, experiencing new stuff, was a low populated group. Rectangle could be every other shape for one day.

Term 1 Inquiry Project

Details :

Name: Velociraptor or Raptor or Swift Thief

Abilities: Sickle claw or killer claws

Looks: Has a skin colour that blends in the bush

Height: 2m 6.6ft in length

Weight: 15 kgs and 33lb

Preys:

Diet: Carnivore feeds on meat

Discovered: 1924

Lived: 65 - 75 million years ago`

Velociraptor F acts:

A Velociraptor existed 73 million years ago and it is the same size as a turkey. The Velociraptor uses its claws from its legs to kill there preys and it is also first ever reptile to be found dead in the Mongolia desert-1992. Velociraptor eats fly birds that are big and large, also keep claws closed and sharp on them so they would not escape.

Discoveries:

The fossils, unearthed from a red sandstone mound in Inner Mongolia and China in 2008 consist of a collection of heavily eroded Protoceratops Bones with two small, curved, serrated teeth that belonged either to Velociraptor or a close relative. Back when they lived roughly 65 million to 70 million years ago, the area was probably a scrubby desert with lots of sand and rocks and not too much vegetation, though there were bodies of water, with life quite lush closer to the rivers.

When did it live:

Velociraptor roamed the Earth about 85.8 million to 70.6 million years ago during the end of the Cretaceous Period. Velociraptor is one of the most bird-like dinosaurs ever discovered. It was small and fast, and the sickle-shaped claw on the second toe of each foot made it a formidable predator. A special bone in its wrist allowed it to swivel its wrist sideways in a flapping motion and to fold its arm against its body like a bird. This motion allowed it to snap its arms forward to grab fleeing prey and is an important part of the flight stroke in modern birds.

Anzac Remembrance Ceremony

This morning Glenbrae School held a small Anzac remembrance ceremony in remembrance of the Anzac soldiers who went to war and died for our country. The whole Glenbrae School gathered up in the front of school near the gates to celebrate the remembrance of the Anzac soldiers. We started it off with a song He Honore, then our guest Left Lieutenant Geoffrey said a speech about Anzac and was explaining what it meant and where it originated. After his speech the whole school read a poem by Laurence Binyon a poem he wrote for the fallen on September 1914 it read “They shall grow not old, as we are left grow old : Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them in the morning”. Then we put crosses on the ground in remembrance of the Anzac soldiers, in orders of youngest classes to the older classes. After the ceremony room 10, 9 and 8 went to the hall to have questions and answers with Left Lieutenant Geoffrey.

WW1 and WW2 Reflection

The World war 1 had started because of the assassination of Franz Ferdinand an Archduke Austrian Prince. The Turkish tried to convince Australia and New Zealand to surrender they said "Surrender this isn't your fight, Great Britain is getting you to do their dirty work". The war had happened in many places such as Europe, Africa Asia and the Middle east.

Holiday Recount

My holidays didn’t really start off well. On good Friday we had church in the morning then a meeting after the church had finished.

Then when I got home i got dressed and then me and my uncle had caught the bus to Britomart. We stayed at Britomart until 10:51pm then we walked to Britomart bus stop and waited for the rail bus to arrive. On the bus timetable it said the last bus arrives at 12:35am. We had waited and waited until it was past 1:00am but no bus came so we had gone to Mcdonalds and gotten a family box and had to walk back to Glen Innes. We got back home approximately 3:31am and it had taken us approximately 2 hours and 5 minutes to walk back.

The next day was my brothers birthday he had turned 17 years old. My mum had called me to go with her and my brother to Sylvia park. She had bought him a XL beats by dr dre pill for his birthday present .

Easter Sunday had come and it was time to celebrate the sacrifice of Jesus. Easter Sunday was great day for celebrating Jesus’s sacrifice. Then things started off well to the holidays. My holidays were very busy and exhausting.

MADD Diary

Today was the last week of MADD messenger and we learnt about talents and skills, Pitia said talent + skills = AWESOMENESS. Pitia told us about ten thousand hours how all the best sports stars practice and practice to get better and that is was scientifically calculated roughly to be around ten thousand hours.

We had to perform a little talent skit or a performance and our performance was based on gaming and how some of our teammates didn’t read the rules.
