Hatters Gold

Hatters Gold is the name of one of my favourite books that we read as a group. The first half of the page says

I own a dead man’s boots because the coal miners went on strike. Our teacher, Baldy Bremner, would say I was drawing a long bow talking like that bending the truth into a shape that suits me better. But I’m not, you know. If the strike hadn’t gone ahead, Mum could have afforded to buy me new boots, like she’d been planning.

I wouldn’t have gone looking for gold and I wouldn’t have found the professor staggering down the Croesus track with a bloody rag tied around his leg, the red drops going all the way back to his chopping block and the other half is. The strike started on a Thursday. It was February the 27th, 1908. We were walking home for lunch, and I remember I stubbed my toe on a rock. I was hopping around, clutching my foot and swearing, and Teddy said, “You’d better not let dad hear you saying them words.”

Seeing the men above ground, in the middle of the day ... that usually meant an accident down the mine. I was relieved to see Dad at the front of the group. Now that you know a bit about the story you should go read it, it is one of the best story books that ever came out in my opinion.

South Island Beaches Turn Red

 South Island beaches in New Zealand turn red because millions of dead squat lobsters. Over the last week there have been a number of mass small sea creatures which had turned the beaches red. The red tinge on the beach is caused by the bodies of munida gregaria a species of squat lobsters.  Over the years patches of dead squat lobster 20 to 30cm thick have landed on some of the southern beaches. 

The strandings occur when adult squat lobster refuse to give up their breeding grounds on the seafloor. This leaves millions of teenage squat lobster with nowhere to breed. The strong instinct to settle and cling to surfaces leads to their death. People That came to the South Island beaches were alarmed by the vivid red of dead animals. 

Volley Ball

Today we had our volley ball lesson, the coach taught us how to set the ball into the air. We had to go in pairs but my group had three people. Our team were just practising our set and after that our coach gave us a challenge. The challenge was to keep on passing the ball to your partner and count how much points your getting but when you drop all the points you have will be gone. Our group had 15 points. Then the coach said we were going to play a game. The game is called king of the court we had to verse other people. I was teamed up with Satui, Kate, Limiteti, Seleti. We won one game and lost the rest. Lastly volley ball lesson we had for this week was over.
