WW1

 

We have these Memorials, so we can remember the people who fought for us. We also have them because some peoples bodies were left overs eases and don't have graves. 

People meet on ANZAC days at the memorials to remember the soldiers.

Gold Rush

In reading we are learning about the New Zealand Gold Rush and this is the work I done surrounding this subject, hoping to teach you something about the gold rush

Gabriel’s Gully

Otago’s first gold rush was in 1861, after Gabriel Read found gold in what would be called Gabriels Gully. This meant that thousands of diggers, later including men from China, went there to make their fortune. 

First Major Gold Rush In Otago

Gabriel Read gained fame and Council bonuses when he found gold near the Tuapeka River

The Otago Council offered him a £1000 reward for his amazing discovery, which he accepted.

The piece of gold he found would go for more than $110,000 now.

This discovery sparked the country’s first Major gold rush.

Mars

For Science we are focusing on Mars.

Today we were looking at the challenges that you would have going to mars, Food, Shelter, Timing and other things.

The tasks we had was to answer 5 question about things you need to survive on Mars, go to mars and Landmarks on Mars

1. When can a mission to mars (or from Mars) happen? Why?

It can Happen every 26 months, when Mars and Earth are at their closest points of Orbit

2. What is one possible solution from the story about oxygen on Mars? NASA has a machine called Moxie, which uses electricity to split Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide and Oxygen.

3. What are two geological features of Mars? 

Olympus Mons which is a very large Volcano and Valles Marineris which is a canyon

4. If it doesn’t rain on mars, where does the water come from?

A tiny amount of water flows on the planet's surface. Water is found as an ice cap in the polar ice caps, but these ice caps are covered in thick layers of frozen carbon dioxide

5. How will people get food on Mars? What is a possible solution?

If people brought food to Mars, they would need enough for 26 months until the next supply rocket arrives with more food.

 Each person’s supply would weigh 5 tons each.

Also you can’t grow food on Mars because there’s no soil, the planet had too few nutrients that plants need to grow.
