Occurs - Happens

Explain How/Why corals go white:


They expel their symbiotic algae living in their tissues, causing them to turn completely white.

Explain what this is:
This is a PH scale. A PH scale is something people use to tell what is deadly and what is not deadly. The most deadly things are on 0 and 14 but the most not deadly thing is on 7 such as blood and water





Explain how acidification kills coral and sea life:
The climate change makes the water warmer and the zooxanthellae leaves the
Coral and the coral dies.



Explain what this is:
This is the layers of the ocean. The sunlight is the top of the ocean and that is where the corals are. The bottom of the ocean is called Trenches zone and that is where the sea creatures like planktons live.



Here is a photo of planktons in the dark.









Explain what would happen is plankton died:
if the planktons died then the sea creatures such as baleen whales would die because there is no other food to eat.

🐠the great barrier reef 🐠

Today Room 8 was learning about the great barrier reef. The great barrier reef is at the Tasman ocean which is near Australia which has heaps of corals.

Geophone - a pair of discs shaped as a microphone connected to earpieces .

Inevitable - a situation that is unavoidable.


Distinguish - recognize or treat (someone or something) as different.



What does geophone mean? (Split into “geo” and “phone”)


What things were they listening for on the Geophones?

What other things could they probably hear? (if not sure, read through this for a hint).


Explain in your own words how a Geophone works (add a picture of one).

Describe a day in the life of a Geophone operator during WW1 in Arras, from the time he got up to the time he went to sleep again.








( My summary )

A geophone is a device that converts movement . (velocity) into voltage which may be recorded at a recording station . the deviation of this measured voltage from the base line . and it is called the seismic .

German-held territory -

Boobytraps - trap of something made for people who tresspass

Landmine - a bomb that explode when people step on it

Retreating - going back to their own area/country

Withdrew - giving up and leaving





My summary:

Railey- on April the 9th of 1917 the big explosion was finally made and people had made sacrifices and the Germans had finally surrendered and people started repairing streets and roads, and built a museum and had a memorial of the people that have died .


Wesley-On the 9th April 1917 the Britain and Canadian troops finally could use the tunnels in Arras. The NZ tunnelers stayed back and built bridges and found landmines. Nearly 40 thousand allied people died


Davlyn- in 1917 the allies broke through the german line so the germans retreated but they left the land mines behind. While the people were going to the tunnels they got shot or get injured so they had to get carried to the underground hospital and get fixed.

Eh htoo- April 1917 there was a three big explosion the Germans lane then allies came running out of the tunnel in the explosion the allies killed a lot of the Germans the allies took 11 kilometres into German territory
Then the German fought back lots of British and Canadian soldiers died some were wounded at taken to the hospital in the exit tunnels if there was no underground cave system lot may have died after the war the allies built Bridge, road, gun post

Nitika - on april 1917 the underground city was ready . The British and candida troops moved in-at 5.30 am on monday , an enormous were ripped thought the air , Then in to the freezing wind .


Michael-By early April 1917, the underground city was ready. British and canadian moved in. There was an enormous explosion and german people got caught. The german people retreated and left. So the NZ soldiers/people built roads,bridges,gun posts. They built a Havrincourt bridge. The allies even tried to find the germans boobytraps.


Mariah - By early April 1917 the underground city was open.The British and Canadian troops moved in and at 5.30 a.m. on Easter Monday, an enormous explosion ripped through the air.Nearly forty thousand Allied troops were killed in the Battle of Arras. But without the underground cave system, many more might have died.



Hope - By early 1917 there were three massive piles of explosives. British and Canadian moved in. There was an enormous explosion and the german people got caught. But then later on the Germans fought back and the wounded British and Canadian were carried back down. Without the underground cave system many more would have died from the war. By 1918 the German troops left behind some boobytraps but then the tunnellers found them and blew them up carefully. The tunneling company returned to Auckland in 1919. Now Arras has special visitors and has a lift that takes you to the underground museum. They also have a memorial for the NZ tunnellers that died.



Lemeki- World war one started in august 1914. In the world war the germans and britain's soldiers were fighting.but in the middle of the two trenches was the no man's land. So the two teams had
an idea of tunnelling so each team was digging tunnels to each other were fighting and they were using boom and guns.When the war ends many soldiers die.

Typing test

Today during our online class my teacher made a challenge for the class . The challenge was to do a typing test to see who can type the fastest . Most of the class did this challenge and when we are finish we had to take a screenshot of our Records and blog about which is what am doing right now . For my Adjust speed i got 8 , typing speed i got 36, I also got 7 words misspelt . That means that i am a slow typer .

WATL maths

Converting between decimals and percentages is easy when you know what to look for. 

Remember that 1.00 = 1 whole = 100% - these things are all the same. 

So 0.50 will be 50%, 0.30 = 30%, 0.10 is 10%. 

E.g. using different place value positions

12.87 = 1,287%

4.56 = 456% 

1.42 = 142%

0.56 = 56%

0.09 = 9%

0.005 = 0.5%

*Remember to check your place value*

Change these decimals into percentages (put it next to the decimal).
Decimal	Percentage	Decimal	Percentage
0.12	12 %	0.99	99 %
0.76	76 %	0.76	76 %
0.80	80 %	0.34	34 %
1.00	100 %	0.45	45 %
2.00	200 %	1.23	123 %
5.6	?	0.99	99 %
0.44	44 %	1.45	145 %
0.32	32 %	8.65	865 %
0.56	56 %	1.45	145 %
0.09	9 %	3.65	365 %
0.07	7 %	1.22	122 %
1.34	134 %	12.09	120.9 %
0.23	23 %	0.06	6 %
0.776	776.0 %	0.045	45.0 %
0.087	87.0 %	0.32	32 %
0.124	124.0 %	0.08	8 %
1.579	157.9 %	0.3	3 %
2.40	240 %	0.04	4 %
2.04	204 %	0.001	1 %
0.01	1 %	0.012	12 %

To change from percentages to decimals, do the opposite.
Percentage	Decimal	Percentage	Decimal
10%	0.10	66%	0.66
20%	0.20	40%	0.40
15%	0.15	30%	0.30
