Merging like a zip

When you merge like a zip you have to let the other people go in front of you and then you go. When somebody tries to go and you have to say ladies first and if the person is a boy you have to say men first.

If they want to let you go first then you can walk past them and then they walk past you. If you want the person to go past you let them go and then you go.

Sunsmart

This term we’re doing sunsmart and we’re going to

teach you how to be sunsmart and slip slop slap.

First you need to wear a hat and clothes and sunscreen when you go to the beach and out in the sunshine. When you're in the

the sunshine make sure you don’t stay on the sun for too long or

you’re gonna get red skin and sunburn.

If you don’t do wear sunscreen or a sunhat you might get melanoma and die. When you go to the sun and the beach.

You have to be fully protected from the sun so that when you grow up you won’t be killed by melanoma.

At Glenbrae we are sunsmart too. We are sunsmart because we want to be healthy and not get sunburnt by the hot hot sun.

We are a sunsmart school because we like to learn about being sunsmart and the causes of sunburn.

Ancient but Earthquake-proof By Lynne Beaven

In Greece some ancient builders built some building which where old but earthquake-proof. This is because they used limestone and pliable rock in their columns which made it earthquake-proof so that when an earthquake comes the building will stand as a tough solid rock.

    

A car written by Samuel.S.M.C.M.G.CJ

A car is something people use to drive to places.It has got an engine to move.

It has also got back wheels to move and front wheels to turn.An automatic car

changes the gears for its own self,but a manual car is a car that is hard to drive.

And to understand how to change the gears sometimes.But when we talk about

an automatic car it is very different from a manual car,an automatic car uses

what we call,an engine to change its gears.Deep inside the engine are some-

things which look like legs,but they are not legs,they are things which scientists

call clutches.A car has 4 windows,4 wheels and 4 doors.Some car for example

are:muscle cars,monster trucks and fast cars and normal cars.Some cars also

have roofs and some car do not have any roofs.Some cars have roofs for winter

like 4x4 cars are strong cars for winter.

Trip to the Auckland Museum

On Monday the 28th of July 2014, Glenbrae went to the museum on a green school bus. First we had to go to the hall to get ready to go to the bus. After 30 minutes the bus came and Room 8 and Room 10 went first to the first bus and then after 2 minutes Room 7 and Room 9 went to the bus.

When we arrived at the museum we went in and we sat down because the teachers said we had to sit down. After 12 minutes we went upstairs and we learnt about how volcanoes can erupt, like lava flows, explosion volcanoes and one more that I forgot.

At the museum we learnt that they are a 165 volcanoes in New Zealand.

After 30 minutes of learning about volcanoes we had free time to see what we wanted to see. After 1 hr it was morning tea, after morning tea we went to see the 1866 town and we loved it.

After 10 minutes at the 1866 town we went to the earthquake

volcano house we waited for 7 minutes and then we saw some steam rising from the water and it started shaking and erupting

some people thought it was real and some people were scared

like some of the other girls.

After 2 hours it was lunch time we ate and then we went to see the Pacific section for 50 minutes. After 40 minutes it was home time when we started going people saw heaps of money in a donation money box and somebody got $100. I enjoyed going to the museum because we learnt about new stuff.

Space Chimps Written by Samuel

A long time ago there lived space monkeys who were training to go and help some aliens from planet Uz.The space monkeys were swapped to be chimps because chimpanzees were cleverer than monkeys.The space chimps worked for a company called Nasa.

One day the space chimps completed their training so the astronaut told them in chimp language that they had to be back in 24 hrs. A sap,said the astronaut and pronto.

Later on they started the countdown 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 “blast off’’shh’’.The space ship took off in such a hurry like the super hero called Flash.

Suddenly, they were in space. It took the space chimps 4000

000 billion kilometres to get to planet Uz. When the space chimps reached planet Uz they saw many beautiful fruits and

friendly aliens but there was one horrible horrendous ugly mean

bad alien who made everyone feel unsafe.

Eventually they saw that the bad alien was freezing the other

aliens who were good.The space chimps gathered together and

made a plan of how to capture the bad alien.

After talking about their plan they captured the bad alien and

put him in the freezing water and froze him for ever.And after

that the good aliens lived happily ever after on planet Uz.

And after that the space chimps lived happily ever after.THE END.

Military Dolphins

Military Dolphin

A military dolphin is a dolphin trained to go to the Iraq war.

This information report will discuss about Military dolphins.

Military dolphins are dolphins that are trained by the US Navy,Marine and Military, about 75,000 dolphins are in the program.This is because the military dolphins are used for the Iraq wars.

A military dolphin looks a dolphin that has bombs,guns and underwater rocket launchers.

Military dolphins live at their bases where they retreat,military dolphins are located with pings so that if they die their Marine or Navy can come and save them.

Military dolphins do things like fighting launching rocket launchers underwater,firing guns and bombs.

An interesting thing about a military dolphin is that when it dies its trainers located it with a ping because when the military dolphins die they are  located with a ping and that's why it can get located.

I hope that you enjoyed reading about military dolphins.
