Slave trade blog
Hello bloggers today I'm doing a blog about the slave trade triangle which took place during the 1800's
The Atlantic slave trade or Euro-American slave trade involved the transportation by slave traders of various enslaved African people, mainly to the Americas. The slave trade regularly used the triangular trade route and its Middle Passage, and existed from the 16th to the 19th centuries.The major Atlantic slave-trading nations, ordered by trade volume the British, the Spanish, the French the Dutch several had established outposts on the African coast where they purchased slaves from local African leaders.
Here is my work about the trade: https://www.google.co.nz/maps/d/edit?mid=13LhCISqkZq-LC3r8WvEeVpw_FKTxIQqu&ll=15.692588612346043%2C0&z=2

Creative writing: Haiku
Hello bloggers this blog will have short poems because of the thing im about to do its called a Haiku. A Haiku is a type of poetry where there are 17 syllables 5 in the first line 7 in the second line and 5 in the last line. So my examples are about the seasons of the world.
Summer
The water was hot
So I built a sandcastle
then it got knocked
Autumn
The leaves were crunchy
Because the trees dropped the leaves
And I had a Pie
Winter
The snow was real cold
Creative writing
Hello bloggers today im doing Sensory language as one of my tasks for my creative writing, If you are wondering what sensory language means well it means that its a way to help the reader to feel what the writer feels like the five sense's Sight, touch, taste, hearing and smell.
But theirs a twist I have to NOT use the words of the 5 sense's so here's my example.
I found a sword in the ground and it was big as a car and it took many days to take the sword out and swung it to a pig. But then cut it in half and the pig was delicious and the scent was good because I cooked it right but then my friend threw the pig into the ravine and it made a big boom then it was night so then I went into my comfy sleeping bag and slept.

HUR5 Blog post
In Hur 5 I did Maths and algebra with Mr Carter. In Algebra we were doing maths with pictures For 5 weeks I liked the algebra part because it teaches me stuff about algebra like numbers ,pictures and symbols. In Maths I calculated the distance and speed for a paper aeroplane I also liked the maths part because it teaches me the Maths part like numbers plus minus and times.
I loved Hur 5 because it taught me the ways of maths and algebra in One Hurumanu usually it would take me a couple of months to learn one part of Algebra.Mr Carter did an OK Job at teaching me and the class algebra and maths in a short amount of time.

hurumanu-fossil fuels
R
FACTORIES: Making clothes, cars, electronics, and processed foods creates a lot of pollution. When materials like plastic, cardboard, metal, and cement are made, harmful gases are released into the air and water.
TRANSPORTATION: Most cars need gas or diesel to work. These come from oil, which is a fossil fuel. The carbon dioxide in oil goes into the atmosphere when the car is running and that destroy the trees
