Fundraiser for Riding for the Disabled

Things That went well were definitely most of the inquiry the best part about the inquiry i think was actually telling them that the money had been transferred because they were genuinely happy.

Waiuta information report

A ghost town called Waiuta


By Eden





Waiuta, once a town full of people and gold miners, now a deserted ghost town. Tony Mangans Family was the last family to leave the town to the ghosts. Years of gold mining for nothing, the town is now just a historical site.





Town Life


By 1930 the towns population had grown to nearly 600. It became well known for its sport teams like rugby league, where the goal posts still stand that were once used often are now just swaying in the breeze. The small town is a popular place to visit because of its amazing location and its historic significance. At the end of the long road was a friendly and inviting town called Waiuta. Due to it being down a long road it was very isolated and alone. The town had all of the facilities and shops they needed to survive.





Miners Phthisis


When gold mining, there are lots of hazardous chemicals and fumes. The miners would inhale lots of quartz dust which gave them an illness called Miners Phthisis. Miners Phthisis is a form of lung complication. This was responsible for many of the miners early deaths, making the population become smaller.



Blackwater Shaft
In 1951 the Blackwater Shaft collapsed. The water and gases could no longer be safely be extracted from the mine shaft, which was now a pile of rubble. The water trapped in the rubble with all the hazardous chemicals was contaminated. The town could no longer consume it. The company decided that the mine was not worth saving and rebuilding. The mine closed and the resident’s abandoned the small town. The Blackwater Shaft is thought to be reopened as the reef in the area is still rich in gold and profitable.



Historic gold town



The small town left for the ghosts is an amazing place to visit. The town has been overgrown by trees and is now turning into a forest again. There are few houses left in the area but Waiuta is a historic tourist attraction for the West Coast.

Weekly Reflection - Term 4 Week 1

This term we all did a timetable for our personal inquiry the main one I focused on was my Riding For The Disabled fundraiser. It went pretty well i made $ 46.50 so far I am hoping to think of some other ways to get even more because of how much they do for the children with a disability. My personal inquiry feels like a big project rather than a few weeks it feels more like a long project. I personally dont think the timetable was necessary. One of the main reasons was because they will change constantly. On Thursday we had pet day witch went pretty well I was one of the four people to run it the children seemed to enjoy the day with their animal their if they didn't have a pet their they could have a fake pet  like a rock pet of a stuffed toy, everyone really enjoyed the day it was a very fun filled jam packed day. Thank you to everyone who came and helped make this day possible. But I still think I did accomplish what i needed to this week.

Writing - Hansel And Gretel

Hansel And Gretel

By Eden And Mary

It was that time again, dad was taking us wood cutting. We always had to in the middle of summer
so that we  had enough wood for the winter. Little did we know this wasn't the normal wood cutting
trip. My brother Hansel and I woke up to the sound of the chainsaw. Dad was obviously checking if
it needed fuel or not. Well I  felt like yelling out it has fuel now SHUT IT! But of course I wouldn't
talk to my father like that but I think Hansel had a different idea. He screamed at the top of his lungs
“WE’RE TRYING TO SLEEP CAN YOU WAIT!!”
“It's time to get up anyway we have to go wood cutting.” We slowly arose, when we were dressed
we walked out to the kitchen where my annoying step mother, who we both hated and she hated us
too, was making breakfast like normal slop in a bowl. Well that's what Hansel and I called it. All
it was is oats but this was HORRIBLE.  When we had finished we walked outside to find a loaf
of bread some water and a pocket knife for each of us. We were confused as to why we had to take
bread and water we were not going to be long. We grabbed our stuff and trekked through the forest
to our fav

orite place and started cutting down the Rata trees. Dad then told us “I am going to get the truck t
o put the wood in. Wait here.”

So we did.

Our dad did not return ever. We decided after two days of walking trying to find our way home that
it was time to give up. We were out of food and water at this point so we were STARVING. I had never
seen Hansel like this before.   He was cold,he was pale and he was giving up.

A sweet aroma filled the air. We followed the sugary scent until we saw a glimpse of a small cottage.
The small worn down building looked like something out of a dream, as we hopped on the uneven
pavement we saw a sugary palace. We came to the house I had tears of joy in my eyes and we started
devouring the corners of the house but we then hear the booming voice of this little hunched lady. We
stopped in fright. I looked at Hansel, I could tell he was scared too. She only saw me.  I was trying to
signal Hansel to hide and run away but he didn't notice. He yelled “Over here granny!”

The short lady turned to Hansel and me and said,

“I am not trying to scare you but I want to know it you want to come in and stop eating my house.”  

We looked at each other and decided to go inside.

We followed the old lady inside, then sat at her little glass table. She offered us a glass of milk, we both agreed and skulled it and asked for another. We sat at the table and ate cookies and drank milk, while the witch was throwing wood on the fire. We were talking just Hansel and I about why this random lady was being so kind to us. Then we heard the sound of a door locking, the key snapping, and that was it, we were trapped. The witches booming voice said,

“Well which one of you is older?”

“That would be me,  Gretel.”

“Well Mr Hansel is it, come with me or watch your sister die.”

Hansel slowly arose and followed the witch. He turned back and had tears in his eyes, he mouthed thank you. When the witch had returned she said,

“Now you will cook, clean and do all the housework.”

“Yes mam” I replied.

I started my Chores, I cooked Hansel some lunch it was chicken drumsticks and mashed potato. All I had was bread and butter. When I had finished I had to go back to collect the plate from Hansel. I had a key to open the cage to collect the plates, the witch was always watching me. I always thought that I could free Hansel when she went to bed but I always fell asleep first. I walked in slowly to grab   the plate, tears swelled in my eyes as I turned to Hansel and saw the misery in his eyes.

 I couldn’t bare to see him suffer anymore, I had to do something.  I grabbed the key to open the cage and reached for the keyhole. Just as I took two steps towards the cage the hideous beast, aka the witch, woke up.  She ran towards me like the maniac she truly is. I dodged her like she was a bullet. Behind me was all her slaughter tools, I grabbed one of her many razor sharp knives and as she came towards me again I dodged her once more.   As she was lying on the

Which she didn’t have any.  She ran towards me once more, the last thing I saw was her, the witch ate my brother alive...

Weekly Reflection - Wk 8

Week 8 was a very productive week. When we have less structure I think I can manage very well. when I am told what to do I still get it done but I think when I choose what I am going to do I am learning more skills like how to manage and prioritise my work. I make sure that all my work is set up so that I have all of the important learning done. I really enjoy having the time to choose what learning I do and When I do it. With my personal projects I have been working hard and making sure that every problem that could happen what I could do to prevent it from happening.

This Week was a very fun week with lots of work to be completed. This week we have been gathering in the library and having a school discussion, we talked about how we are all connected and that we can all choose to care and to trust each other.

I think I have been trustworthy and caring for example the other day one of the junior was sitting on the playground on her own and Bridget and I went over and played games with her. Overall Week 7 was a productive week.

Argument Against Phones In Schools.

In class for our chapter chat task we had to write a argument. It had to be should phones be banned in school. Mary and I wrote this argument on why phones should not be allowed in schools.

Against phones:

Introduction:  Phones, they’re ridiculous things.   Not only adults, but kids are also so addicted to phones.  I think that it’s completely unnecessary to have a cell phone because all people do all day is go on their phones. Here are 3 reasons as to why I think schools should most definitely ban phones.

Micro 1: Cheating: The 1st reason as to why I think schools should ban phones is that a lot of kids cheat on their tests when they have a phone.  If a test or question is to hard for them they’ll search it up online and write it down, thinking the teacher would think that they solved the question all by themselves.  Instead they cheated! If they get the answers “ right” then they’ll be put up a group or level, then when something’s too difficult for them then they’ll keep on cheating.  They’ll end up not learning anything, not storing anything in their brain so that they can use it in the future. This comes into our second reason.

Micro 2: Don’t learn anything: Secondly when kids have their phones in class they get distracted way too easy and will not learn anything. Kids today need all the education they can get to help their future. Phones are the reason kids these days just sit in class and completely ignore the actual learning part of class and what is even worse is that kids only go home to go on their phones. Phones are just bad for kid’s minds too, they can damage kids eyes. This leads us into the third and final reason.

Micro 3:  Distracted on social media Moving on to the third and final reason, scrolling on social media. In class when kids get bored all they will do is either play games or scroll on social media.  Phones are the reason that kids are addicted to social media and devices. Social media like facebook, twitter, instagram and snapchat is not only bad for kids it is inappropriate and making kids future go out of the window.

Conclusion:  So that is our 3 reasons as to why schools should ban phones,  phones distract kids, kids don’t learn anything and kids are tempted to search for answers online.  If you don’t want your child’s future to be trash then let schools ban phones!
