On Monday Mr Paviour-Smith had come in to talk about the things we needed to look out for while we were judging these roses. Some of these examples were their scent, straight stem, shiny leaves and bright colors.<br />
<br />
<br />
On the day we were given our marking sheet where we were to name our top 5 roses. We were also given a bit of a quiz where the answer to the question was those of one of the roses on display. This made you really have to stop and look at each individual rose bush and think about it's name. After we were finished judging we marked our answers to the quiz and we went and had a quick walk around the Hamilton Gardens visiting the Modernist garden and the char bargh garden.<br />
<br />
Here is a Kizoa I made on the day. Thanks to Mrs Hogg and Evahn for taking these amazing photos on the day.<br />

<br />
I think that the issue of shark finning needs to be addressed.<br />
<br />
What is shark finning?<br />
<br />
Shark finning is the practice of removinf of shark fins after being caught. The 3% of the sharks body weight are the high valued shark fins and then the other 97% is the lower value of the body. Often the body of the shark still alive is thrown back into the ocean but without being able to swim or pass water through the gills dies a slow painful death of suffacation, bloodloss, or predatation from other species.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Why is it a problem?<br />
<br />
It is a highly unstable fishery. Targeting any species, sex or size. There has even been testing to prove that the most protected shark species in the world the great whit has been shark finned. <br />

<br />
<br />
What is being done?<br />
<br />
There are many websites where you caan donate to or sing a petition against shark finning. But something that has recently been shown to me is Yao Ming former basketball star who has dropped sales in shark finning by up to 70%. <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/environment/chinas-choice/2014/aug/08/sales-of-shark-fin-china-drop-70" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Read this interesting article to find out more.</span></a><br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I thought overall exhibition became one of those projects that you just really didn't want to finish. But we did and I was really proud of how far our groups learning had come.<br />
I think that our movie showed everyone the message but the facts were all the facts are at the end and I found most of the students walked away after the beginning and didn't stay for the rest of it.<br />
<span id="goog_1874147947"></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We could have engaged the audience a bit more maybe by having a game as well as our movie.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<br />
I also think we could have pushed our can drive a bit further so we could of collected a few more cans.</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
This was a great learning experience for me and I hope I will continue to learn about child poverty in New Zealand and I hope that the statistics will start changing for the better soon.<br />
<br />
Thank you to Mrs Hogg for these wonderful photos.<br />

My group's topic was child poverty in NZ after researching we found that this was a huge problem in New Zealand so we decided to take two actions our first one was to collect cans from the school and then donate them to a school who needed help with supplying food for their children and the second one was to create awareness by showing the community our videos and pamphlets.<br />
<br />
Here are some photos from the day:<br />

Part of this means that we get to read some of the new books before they get put on the shelves and review them. Here are my first five reviews:<br />
<br />
Thirteen days of Midnight<br />
Leo Hunt<br />
<br />
I found this book full of adventure, suspense and thrill. The last 4 chapters I couldn't even put my book down I was that hooked in. ( This book only has 13 chapters so the chapters are long!) I personally really liked it and I would recommend this book to anyone who likes thriller novels. This is a bit of an insight into the book. There is a boy named Luke and hi dad passes away so that would mean his son could inherit million dollars but he had to sign something first that he had no idea what he was signing for. So he ends up with 8 murderous ghosts who come million dollars but he needs to learn how to control these ghosts before Halloween when they will break from their binding and murder the whole town. Will he get this under control before it's too late...<br />
<br />
If You were Me<br />
Sam Hepburn<br />
<br />
This book for me wasn't the best book I have read but it was still worth reading. This book was about a family who were refugees from a country and came to London to stay. A couple of weeks later police find the eldest son with a bomb in a workshop where he is injured. They said that that is why he came to London in the first place and it turned everyone against him. Aliya his younger sister knows that he would never do such a thing so she risks her life to try and uncover the truth...<br />
<br />
The Storm<br />
Virginia Bergin<br />
<br />
This is a great book for anyone interested in a sad and just a bit depressing fantasy. I really enjoyed the book it kept me turning the pages. Th book is set after an apocalypse. Rain is the deadly killer that caused the apocalypse and once you have survived that the old rules don't seem to matter so much. This book tells the story of Ruby Morris who hates rain.<br />
<br />
How to Fly with Broken Wings<br />
Jane Elson<br />
<br />
This book has a beautiful message to it . At times it is sad and others fun but it brings a lot of joy. This book I found moving and for those of you who haven't read the book A Room Full of Chocolate by the same author you should. Any way back to this book. Willem Edward Smith is twelve years old and is on a mission. He wants to make friends but with most of the kids his own age in gangs he finds it hard.<br />
<br />
Pinocchio by Pinocchio<br />
Michael Morpurgo<br />
<br />
This book has a message to it about doing the right thing. I didn't really enjoy this book as much as the other two because I got so frustrated with Pinocchio for always doing the wrong thing. Pinocchio is more than just wood and strings so it's about time he tells you his story.<br />
<br />
Thank you Happy Reading,<br />

This first post will be all about what we did and then I will do a few more expanding on my highlights with photos and videos.<br />
<br />
So here is everything we did:<br />
<br />
Friday 28th August: <br />
We arrived n Nadi, Fiji at 7:00pm and took a taxi to port Denerau where my dad's parents had a boat they steamed over from NZ that they were staying on; we would stay on their boat for the next 10 days. We had pizza for dinner and then went to bed.<br />
<br />
Saturday 29th August:<br />
<br />
We woke up at port Denerau and after breakfast we trolled (fished) to Vomo and saw a turtle skimming across the water. When we got to Vomo we snorkelled and we saw lots of zebra fish but my favourite fish was probably the little electric blue fish. Amy, Hannah and I jumped off the top of the boat which is about 4 metres high. We put the lures back out and set off for manta ray bay also known as drawaqu island. On the way their Amy caught a Queenfish. We arrived at drawaqu island . We went snorkelling on the reef and spotted goats on the island. We ate Amy's small fish as a snack and then we had dinner. Dad and Patrick decided to put a line down afterwards and they caught a barracuda that we kept and tree others which we released. We played a game of zilch and then went to bed.<br />
<br />
Sunday 30th August (Nan's Birthday):<br />
<br />
We woke up at Manta Ray Bay. We went to the Manta Ray passage in the dinghy and we were lucky enough to snorkel with 12 manta rays there were really big ones and then there were some babies. some had long tails while others had none. Some of them had little fish cleansing them and some were doing flips in the water. We went snorkelling at another reef and then we set off for Blue Lagoon. We arrived in Blue Lagoon after 2 1/2 hours and we ate Nan's birthday cake for afternoon tea we then went ashore to give a Fijian some fish, a jacket and some medicine. We finished the day with some dinner and then sleep.<br />
<br />
Monday 31st August:<br />
<br />
We woke up at Blue Lagoon. We went and said hello to another boat and then went ashore for a walk along the beach. We then went snorkelling and took some bread for the fish. The fish loved it and there were fish everywhere. We saw a lion fish and there were lots of zebra fish . We even saw two snapper fighting for food out of each others mouths! We then jumped off the top of the boat and I dived off. We set of for Yasawa-rara. When we arrived we took some reading glasses, fish and a few magazines. We gave some fish to the chief and some glasses to the villagers in return we got 3 drinking coconuts. Asnaili insisted to thank us by holding a dinner the next night this would mean we would have to take him fishing in the morning to catch some fish. We had a last swim had dinner and coconut juice and went to sleep.<br />
<br />
Tuesday 1st September:<br />
<br />
We woke up at Yasasawa-rara. Dad went to get Asnaili ( the chief ) on the dinghy and brought him and his fishing lines back to thee boat. While we were out fishing we caught 6 Walu one of those of which I caught. We gave 3 of these fish to Asnaili along with the heads of the 3 fish which we would have he fillets of. Some of this fish would be used for dinner. We took Asnaili home and then headed off for a ride to champagne beach in the dinghy. Amy and I swam in the waves and then we went for a snorkel. We went back to the boat to get ready to go ashore to prepare the lovo which is like an earth oven. So we went ashore and helped with the lovo. They put rooster ( which the chief had caught the other night and prepared for us to eat), cassava ( a root vegetable ) and pumpkin into he lovo. The food went on to hot rocks and was covered in flax and then we covered that up with banana leaves and sacks and then sand on top of that. We then looked at the village's garden and then we went for a walk along the beach. We then came back and helped uncover the lovo. We went to the boat and had a swim before going back to the island for dinner. We said grace and then ate a selection of yams, cassava, pumpkin, shell fish, raw fish, baked fish, Nan's coleslaw and rice salads. There was a yacht who also came for dinner. The visitors ate first and then the Fijians ate afterward this is their custom. It was a delicious dinner and afterward we went back to the boat and slept.<br />
<br />
Wednesday 2nd September:<br />
<br />
Wake up at Yasawa-rara. We go to Korovu and troll for 4 hours to get there. We caught 5 fish on the way 2 shark mackerel, 2 mackerel tuna and 1 walu. We arrived at Korovu and had lunch. We went for a snorkel and then we went ashore. We walked over the hill here we caught lots of hermit crabs and had crab races with them. We walked back over the hill to have fresh fish sashimi and fresh fried fish for dinner.<br />
<br />
Thursday 3rd September: ( Dad's Birthday )<br />
<br />
Wake up at Korovu and go for a snorkel. We saw lots of crown of thorns starfish and a few fish. We set off for Waya island and on the way we stopped at manta ray passage for one last snorkel with the manta rays. We saw 5 some of them were doing flips and once again they were massive. We were back on our way to Waa island. Once we got to the island where we would be spending the night we went ashore to the school. A group of students showed us around the school. They were really cheerful and it looked like they were having fun. Once we had seen the school we went back to the boat to have dad's birthday cake that I made on the way there. Poppa was fixing John's boat when we got back so we gave him some fish for the funeral taking place the next day and some bags of clothes for the villagers he promised to give us some coconuts so Poppa went to get them later when he dropped off the fish. We ate dinner drank coconuts and went to bed.<br />
<br />
Friday 4th September:<br />
<br />
Wake up at Waya island and set off for Musket cove. We stop at the sand cay on the way and play in the waves. We have a snorkel and then have lunch. We are back on our way to musket cove. There is a space in the marina when we get to Musket cove so we anchor in the marina and then go ashore for a walk. We get ice creams and then we walk to plantation island to get our hair braided. Once we got our hair braided we went back to Musket and had a swim in the swimming pool. We went back to the boat and had dinner at the sand bar. We went back to the boat and played cards and went to bed.<br />
<br />
Saturday 5th September:<br />
<br />
We woke up at Musket Cove Marina and had a swim with our yacht neighbours and their 3 year old kids Jasmine and Zoe. We then went for a kayak around to plantation island and back again. We had lunch and then we hired a hobby cat and went sailing for 1 hour. After that we went for a swim in the Musket Cove pool and then we had ice creams for afternoon tea and then we went back to the boat. We watched a movie with Jasmine and Zoe, had dinner and then we went to bed.<br />
<br />
Sunday 6th September: ( Fathers Day )<br />
<br />
We woke up at Musket Cove and had a swim in the sea. Amy and Patrick found this really weird crab it camouflaged into the sand and then when you put it in water it squirted it out through it's mouth. It was raining that day but once it had passed we went for a walk to see if we could find the flat frogs and the crabs by the airstrip. We saw the crabs almost straight away but we had to walk quite far for the frogs. We eventually the flat frogs and after walking back to where we started from we decided that we would have an ice cream for morning tea. We walked back to the boat and got ready to leave Musket Cove to go to Smugglers cove where we would take a taxi to the airport. I made potato fritters for lunch on the way to our first stop the sand bar and once we got there we had them for lunch and then went snorkelling. This was one of the best snorkels I had had yet. There were lots of fish and there was one type of fish that kept biting my toes. After we had finished snorkelling we continued on our way to smugglers cove. When we arrived we went ashore in the dinghy to book the taxi ready for when we would need it later and went back to the boat. We had dinner and then packed everything up ready to go home. We all went ashore once more with our luggage and took the taxi to the airport. We cleared customs and flew home; our adventure over.<br />

<br />
Over the past month a group of students from my class have been working on a video to be entered in the vegetarian society film contest. The category winners will be announced on the first of September and the overall winner on the first of October.<br />
<br />
We created this film I hope you like it:

<br />
I haven't really shared anything about the facilities of our school, so I will try and share 1 of these each week so the first one is of our library.<br />
<br />
Here is a video:<br />

About 22 of us entered projects, including me and the others came to help us and have a look at the other boards. All of the contestants were interviewed and judged and then we had some fun walking around the gardens.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are prizes up for grabs in hard cash so that would be cool to win but there is a lot of competition so that would be rather hard to do. So far there are 17 prize winners from Berkley but none of us knows what those winners get so it's a waiting game for them till Tomorrow night when prize giving takes place.</span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">In class we have been learning about why the treaty of Waitangi<br />
Was written and signed. We have been writing ballads about this.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Before the Treaty<br />
<br />
Trading wood, flax and food were the chief,<br />
Of many tribes to save them the grief,<br />
Of their tribe numbers dropping to one and then none,<br />
You see they were trading for muskets; a gun<br />
Tribes fired on tribes within their range,<br />
As their tribe boundaries were starting to change.<br />
<br />
Next on the traders list were the whales,<br />
Who got slaughtered then traded when a ship rose their sails,<br />
They were a way for a while,<br />
Out further than a mile,<br />
So when land was in sight,<br />
They would party and fight.<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qbqhs7WqPH8/VXAE9cOsM3I/AAAAAAAAAMo/U2_uBRMI38Y/s1600/71994133.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="231" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qbqhs7WqPH8/VXAE9cOsM3I/AAAAAAAAAMo/U2_uBRMI38Y/s320/71994133.png" width="320" /></a><br />
The Missionaries came,<br />
With one big aim,<br />
To change the customs that were tribal,<br />
So that Maori could read the bible,<br />
They then bought some land,<br />
With a shake of a hand.<br />
<br />
There were many changes to Maori ways of life,<br />
Including Pakiha and Maori becoming husband and Wife,<br />
In 1835 NZ got an independence,<br />
Signed by 34 chiefs in attendance<br />
We signed the treat in sync and afterward had a friendly drink.<br />

About a month ago we were given 30 crosses to represent 30 soldiers around our area who gave the ultimate sacrifice fighting in war. Everyone in my class did their part to help to set up our service; giving out roles to hosts, readers to read out the ode and our singers to start off our National Anthem and our hymn. We even had someone sharing about their ancestor who fought in the war and returned but he had nightmares of the war till the day he passed away.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3rbdU29avXQ/VW330Q12xjI/AAAAAAAAALU/YTJFui2W3Jk/s1600/IMG_0354.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3rbdU29avXQ/VW330Q12xjI/AAAAAAAAALU/YTJFui2W3Jk/s320/IMG_0354.JPG" width="320" /></a>Lots of people also helped to make the crosses. There was a lot of precision put into this as each cross had to be the exact replica of the others. After two days our crosses were finally finished and it was time to make our Field of Remembrance. We had to measure how far apart each cross was from the back and side on. We finished our Field and started on our speeches. By the end of the day everything was prepared for our ANZAC service the next day and we didn't think anything could go wrong.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However... The next day I arrived on the bus to find some of my classmates picking up the crosses from our field of remembrance. I raced to class; my curiosity getting the best of me only to find some drunk 17 year-old boys had vandalized our crosses by kicking them over and had left them in a heap on the ground. My class couldn't believe how someone could choose to do this. After all it was hallowed ground. Our crosses weren't damaged too bad but some still had chips and cracks in them which we did our best to fix an hour before our service. A group of about 6 people including me stayed behind from our Tech Art to make the Field of Remembrance again. We did the best we could to make up for what these two boys had done to the crosses.<br />

<div>
Next Block...<br />
Now was finally the time for our ANZAC service. We started by welcoming our guests to our ceremony and then we sung the National Anthem. Next we had Rose sharing about her ancestor, then a minute of silence and after that the ode, the reveille and our hymn. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I think overall our ANZAC service was a success we all rose above the example of the 17 year old boys and we were able to deliver a clear and heart warming message to those who attended our service and our speakers did a fabulous job. </div>

One flaw though, was that the orange tool you use to remove the quick pop broke with minimum use. Overall I think that our experience with this product was quite enjoyable and I recommend you try out the Zoku Quick Pop Maker.</span><br />

<div>
My Turangawaewae poem received three comments along with Adding and Subtracting Fractio Review and My mini game I made.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I think this happened because they were different and fun posts and visitors asked questions and I answered them.</div>

<b><span style="font-size: small;">Did you change blog themes at all and why?</span></b></h3>

<br />
<u>How has the chocolate fountain evolved over time?</u><br />
<br />
They have become bigger, more complex and more common. The first chocolate fountain was invented by Ben Brisbane and were popularized in 1991. <br />
<br />
<u>Evaluation of the chocolate fountain and our method:</u><br />
<br />
The chocolate fountain was easy to use. But our method of moulding it takes a while for the chocolate to set. This could be improved by freezing the moulds before hand. <br />
