Ports Of Auckland

Ports Of Auckland 

On Tuesday 21st March, room 4 went on the Ports Of Auckland trip at the Auckland Waterfront, we learnt all about the Ports Of Auckland and how they operate. I already knew that The Ports of Auckland are used for importing and exporting food and other items of use into/out of New Zealand. 

  The goods that are imported/exported into/out of Auckland are all stored in big steel containers that are loaded onto container ships that are sent to other countries. 

So I knew why the ports of Auckland is there and what it is used for, but during the trip I learnt how it operates. These are some questions that my teacher set for me after the trip. 

1. What is a Maritime Museum? 

A Maritime Museum is is a museum that has exhibition's and displays on ships and travel on large amounts of water. 

1. What is a Gantry Crane? 

A gantry crane is a type of overhead crane that is stationary so the things it has to lift have to be taken to it. 

1. What is a Plimsoll and what is it for? 

The Plimsoll line is a mark on a ship's hull that says the maximum depth that the vessel can safely be immersed when loading cargo. 

1. What are Straddles Carries for? 

Straddle Carries are used for taking the containers to the Gantry Crane to be loaded onto the container ships.

Describe a Moment in Time

Describe a Moment in Time

In this slide I used the five senses to describe three different pictures. I enjoyed the challenge and found it fun to make up story's about the same girl at different ages. Next time I want to put more detail in my writing and make them longer. 

I hope you enjoy reading my short moment in time descriptions. Leave a comment down below.

The Words We Value

Room 4's Word Cloud 

Today room 4 talked about how we want to be treated. We made a word cloud with all of the words that explain how we want to be treated. The bigger the words the more people wrote them. I chose four words from the cloud that mean a lot to me and underneath them I wrote how you can show them.  You can take the concept of these words to action both online and offline.

Get NZ Writing Challenge

Hello,
This year I am a year 8 at Wesley Intermediate School. I will be posting some of my learning progress and goals throughout this year.
We are participating in the Get NZ Writing Challenge. As a class we are filling out a big poster to send down to Northern South land College. This poster contains lots of information about our classroom and the students in Room 4. Each student will help fill our poster with fun facts and info about our classroom. We will receive the same poster from Northern South land College with facts about their class.
I am very excited about exchanging our writing with Northern South land College.

Swimming Poem

This is my poem I wrote called swimming, I called it swimming because to me all of these things relate to swimming. I like this poem because it really defines my dreamy personality. I often feel like I am in another world.

When I glide through the water

I feel like Neptune's daughter  

When I ride a wave all the way to the shore

I feel like I’ve been let through a door

When I read a book, reality has gone

I am taken to such places as the amazon

It is nice when I find another place in my mind

Sometimes I feel like I am deaf and blind

When I sail over the waves

I can only see sand, sun and caves

I like the feeling of isolation

Away from everyone in creation
