Summary ( War In Waihī )

Summary ( War In Waihī ) Author: Mark Derby


This article is about a war that happened in the olden days. Now we use machines to dig for gold and gems. In 1912, miners used pick-axes, shovels and dynamite to mine. They had to work 6 days a week non stop. While they worked in the mines, they suffered from a disease that was know as Miner's Cough. there was a disease. They could die from that miners cough.


People in the olden days worked very hard in the mines but were paid very less. Those people who work very less in the mines got highly paid and it was not fair.

On the Trail of a taniwha

Summary By: Rob Tipa

What I learned from this article was that A school had a  trip to go to a cave. But in that cave was a drawing. It was there since 1870. Long time. It was a Taniwha. Not a real one, a drawn one. I just want to know if Taniwha still exist. But just to remind you Taniwha lives in water.

Keep Your Cat Inside




Keep your Cats Inside 

What I learned from this article was that cats need to be kept away from other birds . If cats are left outside they can kill all the birds they can find. They are very hungry. Cats can also kill native birds, and different kinds of animals. Cats ate 3 rabbits, 267 birds, 183 skinks, 314 mice, 8 geckos, 1 stoat 67 rats and 64 insects. I think it adds up to 907. That's a lot!.
                       
That is why we need to keep your cats inside. They can be cute but not weak.

Accidental Plastic

Accidental Plastic By: Kate Potter

From this article I learned that windscreens contains plastic. Although it's difficult to see, the plastic is right in the middle and the glass is on the front and at the back. That's why if you crash into a pole, it just damages the window screen but does not go through. Also I learned that quite a few kinds of plastic were discovered entirely by accident.The word plastic means easy to bend or mould into different shapes. People use rubber, oil and wood, which is  mixed with chemicals to form new materials.
