Wesley Intermediate Market Day

Wesley Intermediate Market Day 

Wesley Intermediate are having a Market day in week seven of term three. In the weeks coming up to market day the students are asked to design a product that they will sell on the day. We then create and prototype our product until it meets the design we had in mind. 

We sell our products on market day and use the money in any way we want. My group is making candy floss and the we want our profit to go to the NZ breast cancer foundation.

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

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.
