media type="custom" key="8636900" A poem - inspired by James K Baxter The Orchid was usual enough; it had, A Creek, a bridge, a rubbish pile, a beehive, a strange twisted apple tree, And even a huge paddock where I kept my horse. My brother my friends and I did what friends do – Tyre tubed and swam down the river, Jumped our horses, eeled in the creek, ate apple’s, built like true builders and went rabbit shooting. Doing nothing important. The boys next door If the boys next door have to bang on the wall, I will destroy them in the morning! There taps, bangs and thumps fill my head with fly’s annoying, little and wanting to be squashed fly’s buzzing around and around in //my// head! With a wriggle a squash and a bit of effort I manage to prize myself out of my sleeping bag sit up tell everyone to be quite and place my ear on the wall nice and firmly on the wall and in there somewhere: A voice chatters footsteps sound and then someone emerges from there cabin. “He is going to tell on us Corban” yells overdramatically. I see an adult walking to our cabin. Boy I can’t wait for this night to be over!

=Aurora = =The Aurora brilant blue, perfect pink, great green and orange flips across the stary sky. Curving like a dragon of colour across the night sky like it bellongs in a nother world. Colourful Aurora shining like a milky way of colour. Aurora giant fire bird sprials through the trees and over the montains and gon. Those who saw this Aurora will agree with me that it bleongs in a nother world. = = = = =  The Deadly Hole The O-zone layer is in the Stratosphere. It is a layer of one of the most important gasses for our survival if we breathe it in it would kill us! The O-zone hole is a hole in this layer exposing the earth to the rest of the universe! The O-zone hole is not a good thing because the O-zone layer protects us from ultra violet rays [UV] given off by the sun. If the O-zone layer does not protect us there will be a lot more cancer in the world! In the early 1930’s Scientists know much at all about O-zone layer or the Stratosphere. They did not know it was going to be damaged! In the 1930’s a man called Thomas Midgley invented Chlorofluorocarbons [CFC’s] because fridges were invented over a hundred years ago. Unfortunately the chemicals in these fridges were both poisons and flammable. Regally the fridges would blow up or the chemicals would leek on the food and someone would die! Thomas Midgley invented CFC’s to stop the explosions and the poising because CFC’s were neither poisons nor explosive! Good man he was until they figured out what was really happening! In the mid 1970’s the truth was unveiled. Scientists had found out that the chemicals in the CFC’s were damaging to the O-zone layer. Scientists were searching for a hole in the O-zone layer but could not find one because they were looking in the wrong place! An O-zone hole had actually begun in Antarctica and it was big!!! The scientists changed their minds about the CFC’s about not being damaging or that the O-zone was not damaged. Now they have the answers! The scientists took such a long time a long time to find the O-zone hole because they were looking in the wrong place. They were focusing on the countries that used the CFC’s a lot more [USA]. Antarctica is the perfect place for an O-zone hole to forum because in winter the Antarctic stratosphere is the coldest place on earth. The winds go in a curricula motion cutting it off from the rest of the atmosphere and trapping all the CFC’s. In the spring the sun activates the chlorine destroying the O-zone layer. In the future I think that if the O-zone layer disintegrates there will be a lot more cancer in the world. The O-zone layer is made up of one of the most important gasses for our survival and in the 1930’s a man called Thomas Midgley invented CFC’s not knowing that they would be damaging. In the 1970’s scientists figured out that CFC’s were damaging the O-zone layer and soon after uncovered a hole.

LEARNING CONFERENCE

MUM, AND DAD !!!!!! Martha My best friend Martha She has chocolate brown hair that drops to her shoulders like a water fall. Although she has blue-green eyes like the tumbling sea they only move slowly around the room unless she gets a fright! She has a bright smile white as the clouds with the sun shining through. She is tall, taller than my cabinet of drawers so she can see my mirror but I can’t! She has a few pinky brown freckles dotted all over her face and arms.
