An Adventure Disaster

One cool spring afternoon, a young boy called Maui was lost in a forest. The forest had a lot of over grown bush. There were no people that lived there, but a lot of animals. Maui was playing hide and go seek with his two best friends, Tana and Sione. He had not realized that he was in the Tasaman forest.

After that he was calling out his friends names. T-T-Tana S-S-Sione where are you?” Now at this point he was extremely scared. Then he heard this voice call out ,“Young boy, come and please get me out of this cage please, please!” The voice sounded creepy. “Wh-wh-who are you and w-w-what do you want,” “I want you to open this cage door for me, now hurry up I don’t have all day!” The strange voice said again.

Finally Maui spotted the bamboo cage. It was so rusty and very infested with spider webs. Maui had also spotted where the voice had been coming from, it was an evil woman. Not just an ordinary woman, it was a half bird half lady type of thing! Then she started talking again.“Just unlock, yeah, like that, perfect thank-you for freeing me ha, ha, ha, now you would be great for my stew tonight.”

There was no escape for Maui now. He was really lucky that there was a brown thick stick in the mud. Maui quickly grabbed the stick and pulled him self out. He turned around at the Bird woman, she had followed him into the mud pool. Maui was saved!!

How Earthquakes Happen And Why

How and why Earthquakes occur? You may ask. Earthquakes is some movement in the Earth’s crust. How does it all happen? If you are wondering this explanation is for you. The Earth is made up by the inner core, core, mantle, and the crust. In the Earth’s crust there are tectonic plates that fit together. These tectonic plates are always moving. When the tectonic plates rub together an Earthquake is formed. Sometimes when Earthquakes happen the ground lifts up and becomes a mountain. When an Earthquake forms sometimes it happens under sea, so the sea rises into a big wave. This is called a tsunami. In an Earthquake there is always an epicenter. An epicenter is the center of an Earthquake. It’s like when you drop a stone into the water, all zthe water spreads out. This is like an Earthquake, because the Earthquake spreads right across a large area. These days people have special technology for Earthquakes. Like for an example a seismograph. A seismograph is a needle that moves where the ground does. It goes up and down so people can see how big the Earthquake is. There is also the Rictor scale. the Ricter scale goes up to 10. If it is over 5.1 it is often makes big damage to buildings and roads and loads more. Some results for Earthquakes are absolutely awful. Buildings and roads also paddocks, like farms, and cities are destroyed. So Earthquakes are awful natural disasters. They cause lots of damage, injury, and sometimes even loss of life. You can keep safe from awful Earthquakes by always having a survival kit ready.

Why are cows milked morning and afternoon? So all the cows milk is out and ready to be taken to the tanks. Why do other countries use our milk? Answer: Because New Zealand produces lots of milk.

Cows have 4 stomachs. Nearly all of New Zealand's butter and cheese used to be sold in Britain. Jerseys (type of cow) makes milk very creamy. Instead of naming each cow they have a ear tag.
