Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water , Jack fell down and broke his crown and  Jill came tumbling after

“AHHH!” “Jack, where are you?” Jill said panicking. “ I’m over here<” said Jack” Where is here? ”  Jill said confused. “ I’m behind the POISON IVY ”  Jack screamed. Jill ran over to her brother Jack. “ Did you roll through it? “ Jill asked. “ I have no idea, But I do have an idea of what mum will be like when she see’s this “  Jack holds up his crown. “

What have you done you foolish egg? “  Jill asked “ I broke the crown “  Jack said worried for his life. “  Well no dha , We will have to find someone who can fix it. “  “  Who are those fat children who got left in the woods by their evil stepmother? “  Jill asked trying to remember .”  I think there called Hams and Gret “  Jack replied. “ No, no it’s close, Hansel and Gretel that’s their names.”  Jill corrected Jack. “  Ahh yes, let’s go and find them “  Jack suggested. “  Yes right away “

Part two coming soon

AMP Show

Intro

In New Zealand we have many great things happening all around new zealand. But i’m going to talk about just one thing that happens in New Zealand and that is the AMP show.

Rides

There are many different rides at a AMP show such as the hurricane, Dragon roller coaster, Scream machine, Turbo Boost, Ferris Wheel and the GRavitron. These are the most of the common rides you will find at AMP shows all around the world.

What you can do

At the AMP show there are so many things to do. THere are stalls in the hall with crafty stuff in them such as headbands and all sorts, There are food trucks to grab some food, There are you can play for $2 up such as the clown, The shooting game and darts, There is the horses and the cows and there is McDonalds farm where you can buy animals and pet them.

The cost

To get into the AMP show it cost $2 to go towards the lion club. To go on the rides you have to buy tickets ect. 50 tickets cost $55 dollars and you can buy as much tickets you want. YOu need tickets to go on rides for example the hurricane will be 6 tickets so you give the person running the ride 6 tickets so you can go on the ride.

Conclusion

This is what happens at AMP shows. I hope I have informed you to go to a AMP show next time you visit.

DNA

Have you ever wondered how DNA was discovered. If not I will be informing you how it was found, How it works and about the double helix.

In 1869 a swiss doctor Johann Friedrich Miescher was studying white blood cells from pus-soaked bandages. He isolated the nuclei of these cells. When he analyzed the chemicals inside the nuclein he discovered a new substance called ( Deoxyribonucleic acid ) DNA for short. Scientists knew genes are found inside the nucleus. So people were wondering if nuclein was made of DNA ? Despite Johann Friedrich miescher findings, few scientists thought the findings were true. Most scientist felt that the genetic material might not of came from the DNA but in the substances called proteins. It wasn't until 1944 that canadian-born scientist Oswald Avery finally proved that DNA - not proteins carried the cell's genetic instructions.

Fact: DNA is an extremely long molecule.

Our cells contain a set of operating instructions in the form of deoxyribonucleic acid ( DNA ) The DNA in everyone's body has the same structure. We have two long strands that wind around each other to form a double helix ( or a spiral ) Dna holds the coded instructions called genes. Genes are needed to build and run cells. It can also copy itself, making sure that instructions are passed through it accurately when the cells are divided.

Earlier I have talked about DNA and a little bit about genes, which carry our features from one generation to the next are made of DNA. The DNA in genes control the production of substance called proteins. These build our bodies and run our cells, THe mechanism by which DNA coded message is used to make proteins in the cells of living things

Moment in time

As I sit in the white fluffy snow. I can feel my body shaking consistently. I can see a giant snow storm coming my way but I can’t move i’m stuck. My eye’s felt droopy and saggy. With every blink my eyes slowly start to shut. I wake up buried in snow. I can’t feel anything from my knees down. My ear’s get attracted to birds off in the distance chirping for warmth. My nose gets attracted to pine off of the pine trees. Snow is dripping off my face down into my throat. The snow stops but then suddenly hail comes racing down smashing on top of my head. I crawl up and race under some bushes for cover.

   Summer days

I stumble down the wet clumps of clay,

The dirty dark grey clay mold's my feet with every step,

I step on the boiling sand,

I sprint to the shimmering clear blue water,

It's cold and refreshing as it touches my dry skin,

I get dehydrated so I leap out of the water,

And rush to get a Fanta and lollies,

I hate Stratfords hot days

Sea Turtles

L.G: To explain how something happens

Purpose: To explain how the sea turtle grows into a adult.

Did you know that sea turtles were around for 150,oo,oo year’s. They are now a threatened species. Human interference is harming 8 species of sea turtle’s. Only 2% survive with human interference. Sea turtles have overcome the odds in their life. It  would be tragic to lose them now.

Firstly the adult female finds a place up high on the beach to dig her nesting hole. She lay’s 50-1000 white leathery, ping pong shaped eggs a year. Then she covers the nesting hole and leaves. It takes about 6 weeks for the eggs to hatch.

After that the baby sea turtles rush towards the sea with predators among them such as seagulls, raccoons and crabs. Only half of the baby sea turtles make it to the ocean. Now they have bigger predators such as bull sharks, tiger sharks, white sharks and occasionally a killer whale.

Thirdly as they start to grow they face dangers such as waves ,  currents, birds, (When they come up to breath) fish, dolphins and sharks. When they grow up they can be the size of a dinner plate to a dinner table. It takes about 10 years to grow up to that size. They are more safe when they grow up. About 10% survive from being in a egg to this stage.

Penultimately it takes approximately 20 years for female sea turtles to start breeding. The female swims to the beach to find a high place on the beach to lay her eggs. Sea turtles can live up to 80 years. This is how they die from eggs to adulthood. 1000 eggs are layed a year, 800 hatch, 400 make it to the water, 200 proceed to adulthood, 20 make it to the breeding age without human interference and 2 survive to the breeding age with human interference

In conclusion I believe that we should start caring about or environment. Sea turtles are a miracle so help save them.
