Amazing Animal Senses

Name: Alexus Date: 01/05/2019 Text: Amazing Animal Senses Many animals’ senses are much, much better than ours. Dogs can smell things that we can’t smell, that’s why they’re used in airports to sniff out things like drugs. They’re also used to find people who are missing. They can do this because each person’s skin has its own special smell that is different from everyone else’s. Dogs can smell these special smells on the tiny bits of skin that fall off our bodies all the time. Unlike us, sharks can sense the electricity in the bodies of fish. They can even do this when the fish are a long way away, or hiding under the sand. (Metal boats can also make electricity when they come in contact with the salt in seawater. So sharks sometimes get confused, and attack them!) And raptors, such as eagles, hawks, falcons, and owls, have eyesight that is about eight times better than the sharpest human eye. This is because they have to be able to see the small, fast-moving prey they hunt from way up in the air. Amazing! https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Fpin%2F108016091035745026%2F&psig=AOvVaw3TbwtmtX0HVZvJFrfIol7Q&ust=1621121395530000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=2ahUKEwj99c74qcrwAhUcgmMGHeoPAukQjRx6BAgAEAc

Planets

 Name: Alexus Tuaru Tangatakino

Title: Planets

How do planets appear?

A= Scientists believe planets begin to form when a dense cloud of dust and gas, called nebula, spins around newly formed stars. 

Gradually, gravity causes the bits of matter in the nebula to clump together.

Slowly these clumps accumulate and grow.

Eventually these clumps becomes planets

The very first planet that's next to the sun is

Mercury(1), Venus(2), Earth(3), Mars(4), Jupiter(5), Saturn(6), Uranus(7), and Neptune(8).

Those were the orders of planets when Pluto disappeared and was no longer a planet.

Mercury was the smallest planets the solar system,

 along with Mars

The Largest planet in the solar system is 

Jupiter and Saturn.

Then the medium planets in the solar system is 

Venus Earth Uranus and Neptune

These are the orders of the planets, 

from Largest to Medium to Smallest.

assembly   talks     nothing     confident     captains     role models     badges     happy meeting   trouble      confronts     thrilled     fight

Isaac was sitting in assembly, nervously waiting to hear who the school Captains were going to be. Would he be one? Yes, the girls would be Fai and Jess, and the boys Isaac and Tomasi. Their teacher, Miss Latu pins their Badges on their shirts and Isaac feels a bubble of pride swell inside him. 

They met with Miss Latu after Assembly and she told them that they were now Role Models– leaders. People would respect them and they need to respect their badges. 

The boys discussed their new roles as they walked home from school. Tomasi didn’t seem to be all that Happy Meeting about being a captain and wondered when he would have time to hang out with his mates. Isaac had heard that Tomasi was part of a gang and got into Fights at weekends. Isaac had been asked to join a gang but he turned it down – he didn’t want to fight or steal stuff. 

Next day at school, Fai tells Isaac that she knows Tomasi fights and wonders why Miss Latu chose him for a captain. 

That night when Isaac and Tomasi are walking home Tomasi’s phone rings. Isaac heard words like “fight”, “Highfield Park” and “St Benedicts”. Tomasi hurries off explaining to Isaac that he is off to Confront this kid from St Benedict’s. Isaac tells him that he can’t do that because he is a school captain. Tomasi tells Isaac that doesn’t matter; it is after school and has Nothing to do with Miss Latu. 

Next morning Tomasi turns up at school with a black eye. Should they tell Miss Latu? Isaac was Thrilled Tomasi who says that he will deny it if Miss Latu finds out. Suddenly, Fai and Miss Latu are coming towards the two boys. For a split second Tomasi looks afraid. Then a smooth Confident look settles back on his face. “Hey, Isaac,” he says quickly, “back me up. You need to say I was at your place after school. Miss Latu will have to believe us. We’re school captains, right?”

One day a girl was walking in the forest and all of a sudden  there was a large castle, she wanted to know how  to get inside and see because there were heaps of light inside the strange big castle, she didn’t know what’s inside it. 

After this, she went to the window where the door and looked inside the castle, but no one was inside the castle, it was all empty, but all the lights were all on, and none of them were off, there were two big towers and one bridge across those two. 

The sun was reflecting on the castle, it shined brightly.the girl walked towards the door. The girl got really scared when she opened the door, she thought it was a haunted house, but when she went inside she couldn’t believe her eyes.

In the past days, the girl lived in the village with her parents and she found herself in a strange castle.When she went inside, she saw bright lights across each room. There were stairs up at the top.

Finally when she saw everything in the castle she was very hungry, but then she saw a feast on the table, and thought it was for her, and started eating,there was chicken, salad, chips, fried potato, and also deserts.When she finished all of the food including the deserts, she cleaned up the table, and left the castle to go back to the village.
