MUSEUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't do Galleries 1 & 2. #3 was about nature I think and I liked that I found the answer to the question there. Gallery 4 was about the pataka (food storage house) and I can't think of anything I liked about it.  #5 was about things that Europeans brought to NZ, I liked looking at the rifle. #6 was about the Tarawera eruption and the Pink (Otakapuarani) and White (Te Tapara) Terraces. I didn't like the dead cat :( #7 was about the Maori B Battalion in WWII. I liked the movie 'cause I could sit down and I like watching movies. Gallery 8 was about famous Maori people. I liked the splashing water over your shoulder. The basement was fun with hard hats and was about the underground pipes. The movie is fun where the ground shakes, it's my favourite part of the museum.

Chapter 19

Why did they go to the museum?
Because Matt and Juzza wanted to give Dr McMillan the nine gold sovereigns they'd found and Eve wanted to give them the papers she found about Mary and Edward Basham and Jack Boult.

What do you think might be special about the ponga?
I think there is a tiny secret compartment in the bit where the candle goes in and they will find a note inside that tells them where the Rothery stone is. Or a fragment of the Rotery stone or other diamonds is hidden there.

Chapter 18

WALT edit and proofread our writing:

What does Eve do in this chapter?
 She goes to Ian McMillan's conference and gets him to take Matt Juzza and herself on his tour of the thermal area.
What is going to happen next?
Zirk comes after them and takes them to where he thinks Skulla is, not knowing that Skulla, Diz and croak were arrested because he was camping in the lookout. When Matt and Juzza were there he was getting lunch so he didn't see them. He wants to interrogate them because he couldn't find the "diamond" Eve buried.

Out of the window...

Out the window I can see a bird pecking at the grass. I can see a playground a basketball court and some classrooms. :P

Assignment

For my topic i'm going to do typhoons. I choose it cause I don't know what it is and I found it on a list of the top ten worst natural disasters which said this: "Pacific typhoons are generally more powerful than Atlantic hurricanes, because the former have much more water over which they can gather strength." I'm guesing its a kind of storm. The site URL is:

WXK- Scott Murray

Name: Scott Murray
Nickname: Skulla

Skulla used to be a great rugby player. His old coach Hone described him as fast, determined, and fearless. He is the leader of WXK, which Juzza says is pronounced as dubexkay.

WXK-Cory Collins

Name: Cory Collins
Nickname: Croak

Croak has a Mohawk and lots of tattoos. I don't know anything else.

WXK-Dennis Williams

Name: Dennis Williams
Nickname: Diz

Diz used to play rugby, but was banned from playing after he lost his temper with a player and almost beat him to death. Diz also held Juzza out over a mudpool untill he agreed to do something for the gang. What Juzza is supposed to do I still don't know.

What happened at the hardware store...

Matt and Juzza found half of some handcuffs buried under a tree in the forest, the other half was under thick roots that needed a pair of loppers to cut. Unfortunately, Hone didn't have any. Juzza said he had a cousin in a hardware store and he could get a huge discount, so they headed to the hardware store. Juzza told Matt to wait outside, then he went in, and came out a short while later, but he wasn't holding anything. He just had his hands in his pockets as he strolled casually past the security guard, and walked around the corner. Matt followed him and Juzza pulled the loppers out from under his shirt. Matt persuaded him to take them back and the went back in the store, hiding the loppers from the security guard. They went into the gardening isle and pretended to take them off the shelf, then Matt went and paid for them. The security guard went up to Matt and said quietly, so Juzza couldn't hear; "you did the right thing, lets hope he learnt something too" indicating Juzza. The security guard was on to them all along.

HP

In the weekend we had visitors at our house. One person showed me this game on the internet called Pottermore. It's this game where your a student at hogwarts.
