Disneyland Recount

     Disneyland

September 2015 me, my sister, mum and dad went to Disneyland. Disneyland is located in Anaheim Los Angeles. We were all really excited to go.

When we arrived at Disneyland we swiped our 10 day pass and walked through the gates. Disneyland was a gigantic place with so many rides. The first ride we we went on was the pirates of the Caribbean ride it was really well themed with all these robots acting and sounding like the characters from the movie. Since we arrived late we only went on one more ride before it closed it was a jungle cruise on the water. It was really cool at night time because all these animals which are robots jump up at you and splash you and you don't know when it's coming. We then walked out the gates and went to have a look at downtown Disney. There were so many people. We got some food i got a Wretezl pretzel witch is really yum after that we went back to our hotel.

The next day we went first thing in the morning. It was really hot so we drank lots of water. The ride we went on first was splash mountain which was another water ride but it had a big drop at the end. We all got soaked ( which was good because it was really hot ) Then we lined up for an hour to go to the haunted mansion which had just reopened that day for Halloween. It was all based on the movie the nightmare before christmas. We went on 3 more rides and then had lunch. Those rides were the indiana jones ride and the big thunder mountain railroad ( my favorite ride ) and star tours which was a 3D simulator. We went back  later that night to watch the paint the night parade with all the disney characters in it. With all these bright lights coming from the vehicles they were standing on and there costumes were light up too. After that we watched the fireworks which were spectacula. the other to rides we went on were space mountain and matterhorn bobsleds.

The next day we lined up early to go to the other park california adventure. We went straight to cars ride it only took 10 minutes to get onto the ride not like last time we went when it had just opened a 2 hour 30 minute wait! The cars ride was awesome with all the background to look exactly like you were in radiator springs .At the end of the ride you would race another car with people in it we won! Next we went to the tower of terror you sat inside this elevator and you would go up and up and then a door opened and you could see the whole park then suddenly you would drop all the way  Down to the bottom. It was getting hot so we went on grizzly river rapids a water ride with a 2 drops. We went on scream next which was a roller coaster with big drops and loops. Later that night we watched the world of color which was really awesome it was colorful water with a screen projected on it.

Matariki Explanation

 

Matariki is the Maori name for the cluster of stars also known as the Pleiades or the seven sisters.  It rises in mid winter, latish May or earlyish June. To Maoris it is  the start of a new year. Matariki literally means the eyes of god or tiny eyes.

The Maori new year is marked by the rise of Matariki and the sighting of the next new moon. The pre-dawn rise of Matariki can be seen in the last few days of May every year and the new year is marked at the sighting of the next new moon which occurs during June.

How is matariki celebrated Matariki is celebrated with education, remembrance and the planting of new trees and crops signalling new beginnings. Matariki was the time for new harvests, and ceremonial offerings to the land based gods Rongo, Uenuku and Whiro to ensure good crops for the coming year.  It was also seen as a perfect time to learn about the land we live on and to remember whakapapa the ancestry who have passed from this world to the next and the legacy they left behind.

The Matariki star constellation was used to dictate how the coming year would be in regard to the size of the harvest, so it was very important for Maori to prepare the land as best they could in order to enable the coming year to be successful

For Maori the land that they live on is one of the most important aspects of life.  Preserving their way of life depended on the treatment of the land and all things living on it, this outlook was paramount to their survival and was reflected and filtered through  to many other aspects of Maori culture.

School Should Have 3 Weeks Of Holidays

School Should Have 3 Weeks Of Holidays!

Do you want to have just 2 weeks of your precious school holidays? Yeah I didn't think so. We all need more!!! how does 3 weeks sound for ya yeah now were talking. come on 

we need to have 3 weeks of school holidays. 

  

3 weeks is better for going on educational trips even if not going outside and seeing new things. Learning new cultures about how other people live there life. We are always learning any way, you know the saying you learn something new everyday. Having more time gives our brains time to rest, you know when kids get back to school and they're all tired and grumpy.

2 weeks is too short! Kids have  plenty of time at school anyway. More than 50% percent of their life from 5 till 18 is spent at school.

2 Weeks is enough kids have 2 days of the 7 of the week of so it is a big treat to have two whole weeks off. kids need to learn as much as possible so the less time you have off, the better your knowledge is. You can be as smart as Albert Einstein instead as being as dumb as a doorknob. You choose.

So school should have 3 weeks of holidays instead  of the lousy two weeks. Kids spend enough time at school and kids need to go outside and go overseas trips to new places and learn new things. So kid should have 3 weeks of school holidays!!!

The Revolting Death Of Daniel Feeter

             The Revolting Death Of Daniel Fetter

I am so exhausted I can't stand up  straight  I am feeling sick with chest complaints and coughing and very bored covered in thick slimy mud

I am trying to march away from the front line back to safety and some rest

I leave the bursting shells and the flares behind

they appear too tired to think or see where they are marching they the boots are big and there feet have cuts in and it hurts when they walk there so tired they look half dead they act if though they were drunk by staggering and swaying and a bit confused they don't even hear the fall of the gas shells behind them

emergency I suddenly realize that me and my men are surrounded by poisonous gas I shout a warning to my them

even though we are all exhausted we use all the speed we can to musta and put on the gas mask most of us put it on but Daniel is to slow he cries out in pain as the gas gets out into his lungs

the gas is thick now a greenish pea soup color it is difficult to see your comrades through these ghastly clouds of smoke

you will never forget seeing your ugly conrad daniel rushing towards you in the gas you feel holes in this situation he cough as the gas gets in his lugs you no hes going to die

I are so disgusted what i see and hear imagine what you would feel like if you were behind the wagon and had to carry the victim you can see his face screwing up and turning purple he is starting to pass out he tells you to let his wife and children know he is dead he then passes out it is very sad

Imagine that you are driving and listening to the dying man cough and his lungs are turning into blood and mucus you look back in horror and then you vomit out the window of the wagon you are scared for life at the sight of the passed out man cough up that yucky blood and mucus disgusting

If you had experienced  what i had described like the frothing mouth full of blood and mucus pouring out at every bump and turn you would never want to say again that it is fantastic for you to die for your country in war its not nice infact it is really appalling and disgusting thing to think about
