My Holiday Highlight

Swoosh my kite dives down at 100 miles an hour but I manage to keep it up.  PING! the thin plastic pipe in the kite flew off the main body the kite and dived into the tree.  I gave the string a big tug and CRASH! the kite landed nose first into the long green grass.

I found out that the reason it crashed was because I didn't put the pipe in the holders enough which caused the wind to flick it of of the main part of the kite.  The name of my kite is (Bite) and that is a real type of kite.  The kite is a one and a half meters wide and half a meter tall so the size lets the kite fly real high if you know how to fly it good enough.

I was having a day at my grandma’s farm with My sister and My grandma.  We only came to the farm so we could feed all the animals at the farm but there was a lot of space so I decided to bring the kite with me.  The farm is an annoying 15 minute drive out of town going up hills, around hills and over pukeko.

Henry Hudson

Henry Hudson was a famous explorer and navigator. He was famous for exploring the sea and he gave the Hudson river its name by being the first person to explore it.

Henry Hudson repeatedly tried to make a route from Europe to Asia. He never accomplished his goal but he did name a few places on his honor. He was born in 1565 in United kingdom  England and lived in London. Not a lot of people know when he left home in died in 1611 or 1612 at the age of either 46 or 47 pretty young age to die isn't it but nobody knows where he died.

After getting married to a girl named Katherine while also having three sons named (John), (Richard) and (Oliver) did you know that Henry's son John went with him on all four of his trips . Henry Hudson mysteriously died in 1611 or 1612. After setting voyage across the sea’s of Northern Canada. Not even the smartest scientist in the world knows if he was lost or stranded with a year supply of food in his ship or hit an iceberg then died dramatically (just like the titanic).

Henry named his boat’s (Discovery) that was his first boat, (Hopewell) that was his second boat and (Half moon) that was his last boat. Henry Hudson was known for a lot of things I Don't think his two remaining sons will forget him. I said two because his oldest son went with him when he got lost or whatever happened at the end of his journey.

Henry Hudson was a famous Explorer and Navigator. He named the Hudson Bay, the Hudson River and a lot of other places.

A moment in time

I heard my sister laughing at me.

I heard people on the ride talking to each other.

I saw mum taking photos of me and dad as the ride started rocking.

I saw my dad holding his hands up as the platform started spinning.

I felt the platform get higher and higher as I hold my hands up like my Dad.

I felt my Dad smack my back as it reaches its top height.

I wondered how long I would be on the ride.

I wondered if mum will ride it.

Flying balls expeirement

Can you really make a ball fly with no strings?
Read this and do it by yourself to find out. Room 17 did an experiment to find out if you can balance a ping pong ball on a hair dryer. I do not think it will balance what do you think will happen.

Lets get the equipment get a hair dryer and a ping pong ball to see if it works get the hair dryer and turn it on so that the air is going up  put the ping pong ball on top of it and see if it works
If you did it you will see that it works because the wind is going around the ball creating a wall of wind circling around it so it can not escape the ball is also being blown up wile being pulled down by gravity so it stays at a certain height above the hair dryer.

The Giant Drop

Looks like One piece full sunny day I went through the gates as mum and dad payed for the wrist bands that give us access to the rides. The first thing I spotted was a giant tower with two pieces of track on it one on each side.After that I saw a yellow triangle shaped thing climb up one of the tracks it stopped at the top and dangled the riders in midair for ten seconds. Suddenly it dropped the riders screamed like it was the end of the world then it stopped just before it hit the ground then it slowly lowered itself a bit more than stopped for the last time. Sounds like CLICK CLICK CLICK BANG! I get pulled up in a seat with my dad sitting beside me when Suddenly click the climbing stopped Finally ten seconds of silence started. It dropped about 1 meter really slow “oh how fun is this” I exaggerated. Screaming bursts into my ear as I get pulled to the ground at full speed. BASH! the drop stops a loud buzzing noise found a way into my ears as the seats lowered a bit more than came to a final stop on the ground. Feels like I get lifted up and it feels like I am in an elevator my nerves started to take over it starts to shake a little bit then it stops lifting me then the shaking stops. I can't feel anything except for the nervous feeling in my stomach. It starts to shake again then the seats lower slowly making me even more nervous. Then I get pulled down it feels like someone is pushing down on my shoulders when the magnet catches it at the bottom every section of my body feels normal and the stress is all over.

How does the egg drop work?

How does the egg drop work? The egg drop works because the edge of the plate pulls the cardboard roll away from the egg and it stays in that spot for a microsecond then the gravity pulls it into the cup of water.and you can make it better by putting food coloring in the water.

cave weta

Cave Weta

Cave Weta are insects.There are at least 60 species of them.

Cave Weta are endangered and very rare but very easy to find at camp when you highk in the caves.

You can tell that they are females because of the spike at the back of its body that they use to lay eggs.Birds and rats are their predators.They  lay eggs  in groups of 20 they take 6 months to hatch.

Cave Weta are an omnivore.That means that they eat most things like insect’s,plant’s,biscuit's and even things like cardboard and paper.

Cave Weta have two long feelers.The back leg is at least 5 inches long and the back of the legs have spikes the other legs are 4 inches long, don't have spikes and are skinnier then the back legs.If they have two spikes on the rear end they are a mail if it has one spike it is a mail.The color of a cave weta is brown black and a color close to orange.Their feet are like tiny little black sticks.

Cave Wetas habitat are caves the caves are often filled with them walking on the sides of the cave.They are in very dark places like in logs and sometimes underground caves.

Cave Weta don’t communicate with sound they instead they communicate by movement in their back legs such as rubbing their back legs repeatedly.

These interesting bugs are nearly extinct so if you find one do not scare it or take it home.We need to look after them and do everything we can do to help them survive.I think they are awesome so you should adore them as well.
