A World Without Wheels Story

 Hello everyone, today I am going to be showing you probably the longest story I have ever done. We did this story for Hurumanu. This was a pretty fun story to make. We basically had to write a story about "a world without wheels" like it says on the title. But I changed it up and it basically was a world that cannot afford wheels. Here is my story.

“BASH BASH!” as axes were chopping down trees, people were getting material to build more houses and expand their land. They were stuck in the sky. There was nowhere or no way to get down. 

“BASH!” Mully bashed her axe into a tree. 

“Pick up the paste” Captain Andrew said.

“Ye-yes sir” Mully replied exhaustadly. She was thinking why everyone didn’t have anything to move around in…. But she was ready and dedicated to fix that problem and make a plan. She dropped her axe and sprinted to the public farm.

After a little while of running later……….  

She finally made it. Mully went straight to the wheat stacks. She had the dumbest idea but she still didn’t hesitate to see if it would work or not.

“Hey! What are you doing!?” Captain Andrew said frustratedly. 

“Well…. Since we aren’t all wealthy and rich I thought of an idea to make the wheel that we used to have.” Mully replied nervously. 

“That’s an amazing idea and all…. But we don’t have the time for you to take time off.” Captain said to her.

“Just a week and 3 people that's all I need please” Mully bowed and prayed to Captain Andrew.

“Only 2 people and 5 days,” Captain said hoping she would accept. 

“Okay!” Mully shouted happily. Captain went back to the main working place and got 2 men for Mully.

5 Minutes later.

“I think we are in the right spot” Adam said (1 of the men).

“Yea” Oscar replied to Adam (The 2nd man).

“Oh you’re here” Mully said excitedly that Captain didn’t lie.

“Um…… Yes Miss!” both of them said.

“So could you 2 do me a favor please.” Mully asked politely. 

“Yea sure, what is it?” both of them asked.“Could one of you’se get as much wheat as you can hold.” Mully asked nicely to one of them.

Both of them look at each other.


“I will do it” Oscar said.

“Thanks, and you, what’s both of your names?” Mully asked. 

Both Adam and Oscar introduced themselves.


“Okay, so Adam could you go get tools, they are back in the main village place.” Mully asked Adam.

“Yes Miss!” Adam said proudly.


30 Minutes later.


Oscar comes back before Adam.

“I’m here Miss!” Oscar said.

“Oh hello, could you just drop it on the ground please” Mully replied.


Oscar dropped on the ground and they waited a few minutes for Adam to get back. 


They started discussing the plan and how to make the “wheels”. After discussing how to make it they walked over to the stacks of wheat.


Mully rolled up a bit of wheat and got a bit of string to stick the wheat together. Once she tied it up together she looked at it and imagined it as if it was a wheel.

“So…… what do we do with this?” Adam asked confused.

“Yea, what's the point of making this?” Oscar also asked confused.

“Well… since our place can’t make or afford wheels, I thought these should work.” Mully said hoping they’d agree.
“Oh okay” Both Adam and Oscar said.


They carry on doing the same thing for a few hours.

“Hey Adam and Oscar, could you 2 go and get a wheelbarrow base so we could test if this works or not.” Mully asked both of them.

“Sure” both of them said. 


Both of them ran out of the farm place and went to the scrap yard to find a wheelbarrow base.


5 minutes later.


“We are back,” Oscar said.

“Oh could you please give that to me.” Mully asked.

“Oh sure” both of them said while carrying the wheelbarrow base to Mully.


Mully took it and put the “wheel” into the place where the proper tire should be. She started to fit it into the right sport.


After fiddling with it for a little bit it fit perfectly into the base of the wheelbarrow.

“Perfect!” Mully yelled in excitement. 

“Yay!” Both Adam and Oscar said in excitement as well.

“Let's go show captain to see if it works or not” Mully standed up and started pushing the wheelbarrow like it was normal. 

After a few minutes of walking they made it to the captains house.

“Knock, Knock, Knock,” as Mully was knocking on her captain's door.

“SQUEAK,” Captain Andrew opened the door.

“What is it Mully?” he said. 

“Me, Oscar and Adam finished the project and we are 99.9 percent (%) sure that it works.” Mully said happily but nervous at the same time.

“Okay, did you take it here?” Captain asked.

“ Yea it's just here” Mully replied.

“Okay let’s see if it works or not” he said wondering if it will work or not.


Both of them walked down the stairs while Oscar and Adam were talking. 

“So is that it?” Captain said while pointing at the “wheelbarrow”.

“Yup, it looks a little bit weird but trust me it works.” Adam said.

“ Okay,” Captain Andrew said. He walked to the wheelbarrow and picked it up to see if it worked…. It worked perfectly fine!

“Wow this really works well done you 3.” He said proud of them.

“Thanks!” all 3 of them said.


1 month later.


They started making more and more. People kept on buying it and they made a business called “Wheatabarrow”. 


1 Year later.


It was the most popular thing around the island. The “Wheatabarrow” was basically a different kind of wheelbarrow but it didn’t last as long. But luckily it still worked and people used it lots. All 3 of them became really good friends and they were proud of each other.


I hope you enjoyed this blog post and my story. Have a good day or night goodbye!

Celebrating Culture

 Hello everyone, today I am going to be showing you my presentation I did for Celebrating Culture. We did this for Wānanga time. We had to do 8 different things and write what they are and what are the definition of them. I'm sorry if it's hard to see the writing, I tried my best to let people read it. Here is my presentation. 


I hope you enjoyed this presentation. Have a good day or night, goodbye. Sorry that it's quite big, I would recommend going full screen.

Writing

 Hello everyone, today I am going to be showing you my writing. We had to write about an invention that is either real or fake. This took me a couple of days to do. We had to start of by doing a draft in our book. After that we published it into a google doc. This was a pretty fun piece of writing to do. Here is my writing.


“Boom” The explosion sounded as Michael was building his new invention named “Hellerbike”. It is combined with 3 vehicles: a helicopter, car and motorbike.

Finally Michael has finished the motorbike wheels for his Hellerbike! He made the outside out of Iron and the inside out of steel.

“SSSSS” As the sound of the laser cutter sliced through the solid metal…..

“AHHH”  He screamed, the laser cut through his stomach.

“BANG” He fell to the ground and his eyes slowly shut.


4 Hours Later


Michael slowly opened his eyes. After a couple of seconds he finally realized where he was… In the hospital!?!?


“Hey! You're finally awake, how are you feeling?” The nurse asked.

“Im fine, thanks,” Michael replied.

The nurse started to see what was wrong with him.

“OH MY!” she shouted.

She was speechless, she couldn’t believe what she was seeing. 


She started to call for backup. Doctors started to rush into the room with all these different types of medical tools.

2 Hours Later


They have just finished healing him. At the moment he is asleep because they gave him a pill to make him fall asleep.


The Next Day


He finally woke up from the pill. He realized no nurses were around. Then he knew it was his time to sneak out. 


He slowly crept out of bed and snuck out the window. Luckily for him, the nurses didn’t realize he sneaked out.


30 Minutes Of Walking Later


Slowly he opened the garage door. Then he realised… His invention was gone. He couldn’t believe his eyes. Even worse, he had forgotten how to make it.


But he didn’t give up. He just sat down and did whatever that he could remember, after a little bit of thinking he remembered how to make the wheels.

He went to the shop and got safety gear because he didn’t want to get hurt by the laser again.

After he finished getting the safety gear he hopped in his car and headed back home.

(He got changed into his safety gear)


Once he got home. He walked to the garage and started working on the invention.


1 Hour Later


He just finished making the motorbike wheels. He was surprised but proud of himself because that was the fastest he ever made them.


The next day…


After lots of hard work overnight he finally finished his Hellerbike. He was ready to take it out for a spin.

“WOOHOO!!” He yelled. Michael was having the time of his life.

He was flying all over the south island. Slowly Michael went back home really proud of what he

created/invented.


1 Year Later


Michaels invention is the biggest thing in the whole of NZ. He has over 100 posters and a factory. He is even a millionaire! 


Thank you for reading my writing. Have a good day or night goodbye!



Gummy Bear Osmosis

 Hello everyone, today I am going to be talking about the practical we did. Last week we did gummy bear osmosis, this was where we made a gummy bears turn big (They were jelly babies). I sadly wasn't here to see the outcome of it so I don't know how it turned out.

We started of by using sugar, salt and water. We had in total 7 gummy bears and put 2 into each petri dish, the reason why we had another 1 was to compare the size after (because they grew). We filled up a beaker of one of the experimental things (the salt, sugar and water). After we prepped everything we waited 12-48 hours to let it turn big. 

When my buddy came back to class on the next day he said "The bottom got a little bit bigger, the top didn't change that much, most of them split right through and our last 2 didn't split at all. He said it was a really fun experiment.

Thank you for reading my blog. I am sorry I didn't have any photos, I deleted them on accident. Have a good day or night, goodbye!

Safety Rules

 Hello everyone, today I will be talking about Safety Rules. A couple of weeks ago we learnt about Safety Rules in the lab (for science). There were a few but they were all important. Here are most of the Safety Rules we learnt.

While doing a practical remember to use your safety glasses (goggles) too protect your eyes

Make sure when your doing a practical stand up and don't sit down, so if your experiment "explodes" you can back away faster.

Remember too keep your hair tied up and if your hair is long tie it up with a bobble.

Make sure equipment gets put away.

No running around the lab.

Always wear covered shoes (leather and that type of material).

When a piece of equipment gets broken make sure you tell a teacher.

Thank you for reading my blog post. I hope I have taught you something. Have a good day or night and I will hopefully see you tomorrow, bye :)

Bunsen Burner Flame Temperature

 Hello everyone, today I am going to be talking about our science practical we did yesterday. The practical we did yesterday was checking temperatures of the Bunsen Burner. Our class did the safety flame and the roaring/blue flame. 

We couldn't do our safety flame because our (I did this with my friend Treyvon) first try the Bunsen burner randomly went out so we had to wait for our teacher too give us another match. Now I will be showing you our table for the different temperatures. 


Before

After

Difference

20.3 

60.5 

40.2

We also got asked a question and here is my answer for it.

Why do we need to make the test fair? So we can get the best average as possible

Thank you for reading my blog post. Have a good day or night, bye!
