Drill goes up about 8 meters high and the rods 6 meters long.
A night shift takes 12 hours and work from 8am-8pm or 8pm-8am.
The drill whieghs about 40 tons.
Theyʻve got 90 tons of gear.
One shift will cook for about 20 minutes.
The temperature was -24 we thought it was going to be -15, the snow in a storm was blowing 60k an hour.
Itʻs really hard wearing thermal work gear.
They had TV 3 down there

There will be articles and photos in the press.
Some of the people have worked in Australia.

www.green.tv global warming

Green television talks about you should be showing the world that the world is slowly dyeing and that you should put your foot down to pollution and global warming emissions.

It really relates to global warming

To show people we are killing ourselves and the earth.

Wonderings and Discoveries

Discoveries

My Discoveries are what sends greenhouse gasses into the air and not to use coal and fires too much because they send smoke into the air and pollute the air more nad people are using cars too much so we can't live in the world that much more

Wonderings and Discoverys

Wonderings

My wonderings why global warming is happening and what made it happen and when it started. What places Global Warming will affect the most and how long until we can feel it happening.I wonder if we will have to go to another planet and if the world will get really smoggy and what the changes will be

My Story

The 3 little chickens





Once upon a time there were 3 little chickens named Jimmy Bobby and Billy. Jimmy wanted to go live on his own so away he went, he made his house out of a soft drink bottle. A few years later Jimmy woke up and tried to get up but he was to fat, he called for help but no one heard. A few hours later Bobby went to live on his own and went past Jimmy “hi Jimmy” he said, “help me Bobby I’m stuck” so Bobby helped Jimmy and cut him out “thank you very much Bobby” said Jimmy, and they parted and went on their way. Jimmy went and lived in a hay sack while Bobby made a house in a box with hay as the flooring.


Now Billy went and made a house in a cellar. Then that night the big bad mouse stole Jimmy’s eggs and the night after Bobby’s eggs, they both told Billy to be careful and that night Billy lay wide awake trying to catch the big bad mouse, with his bear trap but the mouse did not come that night. The next night Billy lay awake again but this time this time he locked the door, windows and the trap door, and that night he heard a squeaky little voice, “let me in little chickens I am cold and hungry and I have no where to sleep, please let me in” so Billy let him in, here is a bed and blankets so Billy and the mouse went to sleep, but the mouse did not sleep he stayed awake, and got up and stole Billy’s eggs and crept out.


When Billy woke he looked up at the other bed Billy thought he had gone away for good. Then Billy checked his eggs, they were all gone it was then that Billy realized that he had shared a house with the Big Bad Mouse. That day Billy moved house. Once that was over Billy went to the market to buy some eggs and some traps, that night he lay in the bushes waiting. And sure enough that night along came the big bad mouse Billy drew in a big breath and watched a few minutes later there was squealing “let me out let me out! After a few weeks the big bad mouse had died. Soon everyone knew that Billy had killed the big bad mouse, from near and far he was known as Billy the rodent slayer. The first person to hear about Billy was his mother Doloris she came down to congradulate him.

Reflection - how independent I am

My mistake was that I put my self under pressure and didn't make use of my time. I will not do this ever again.
Not to just muck around and use my time well I will try to be on top of my workload and ask for help if i need it
I would make very good use of my time and thinking of my top priority and not talk to Sam, Joe, Bertie, Kate and Daniel
By checking on me from time to time and I am Independent most of the time but i like being with my friends and talking to them

Mediator Reflection

Mediators are like duty teachers but they are children. The purpose of mediators is to help out kids who have problems with their friends. Helping out kids who are playing a game but then they can't figure out something, so you can help them with that.

Mediators benefit themselves because they learn how to deal with situations, so when they have problems they can help themselves out.

I think that the mediators are good but sometimes they don’t help, they just say, "sort it out yourself," and I think that they need to help more but I would like to be a mediator.

Because of this learning I can now get better at leading groups.

The next step in my learning is organising things better.

Reflection - Happiness fun laugh

Happiness is when: I smile and feel safe.

My idea of fun is: Being with my friends and playing sport.

I laugh when: I laugh when I bowl someone out in cricket.
