Application C.

50,1,2,60,200

50+1+2+6-+200=259

Knowledge A.

1. Steve looked for Herbie until he found him because he loved Herbie and Herbie was his best friend.
2. While Steve was looking for Herbie it was getting dark and late. and Steve started to go back to Takaka hill to look for Herbie there.
3. Steve works at the Taka ka dairy factory and is also part time farmer, so he´s pretty busy.
4. Steve still hasn't found Herbie, after about 50 meters he stopped and checked the tracker and the tracker said that it was coming from behind him.
5. While Steve was following  the tracker he was walking in a zigzagging line.

Chris is a keen climber, and he wanted to find out how deep the tomo was.

New Ideas B.

Evaluation A.

I rate this text 9 out of 10 because he lost Herbie at the start and he did find him at the end so I rate this 9 out of 10.

Evaluation C.

When Herbie hadn’t turned up overnight,Steve went back to Takaka Hill to look for him again.

I rate this sentence 10 out of 10 because he didn’t stop looking for Herbie until he found him so I rate it 10 out of 10.

Two days of work at the factory followed, which meant Steve  wasn’t ready to give up.

I rate this 9/10 because while he went to work he still didn’t find Herbie and i rated it 9/10 because he said he wasn’t ready to give up looking for Herbie.

On the fourth day, when he returned to search, Steve tuned in slowly and followed the signal.

I rate this 10/10 because he still searched for Herbie and didn’t give up so I rate this 10/10.

A trip to Ferrymead Heritage Park

By Lorraine

A Trip To Ferrymead Heritage Park

Introduction:The whole class went to Ferrymead on last Wednesday.

We all got on two nice busses.

Life in the 1850’s

And life in 2017 is very different the clothes we wear were a lot different from the 1850’s. In the 1850’s the cloths were very unusual from the clothing we wear now.The colours that we wore was green,blue and red.In the 1850’s people had to use their hands to bake and they didn’t even have ovens.In the 1850’s there is no electronics or gadgets.

Life in 2017

The cloths that we wear no is very different from what 1850’s wear and i’m glad I don’t have to wear that kind of dress but it is quite cool but I don’t want to look like a servant.Life here in 2017 we had ovens and we didn’t have to use fire all we had to use is an oven.Life here in 2017 there is electronics and we have a lot of gadgets.

Conclusion

It seems that a lot of things in the past and from now is a lot different.I realized that in the past the people in the 1850’s worked really hard like baking,learning and driving the trains and making their own fire to keep warm. Great job to the people in the 1850.
