FLYING SAUCER

On Thursday the 11 of November at 1:30am, Campbell Nisbet a 20 year old man from Christchurch, say’s he saw what looked like a flying saucer.

He lived in Brooklands and was listening to the radio when he saw a red flash come through his bedroom window, it was 60m off the ground, moving in a spiral and zig zagging around, he thought, it couldn’t be a plane, because a pilot wouldn’t be that silly.

Campbell said it moved towards him on an angle, he said he saw an outline of a flying saucer.

Campbell tried to take a photo on his cell phone, but it was moving too quickly. His brother was asleep in the same room, but didn’t wake up.

It lasted for about 20minutes, and then seemed to move toward Kaikoura.

Campbell said he thought there “was always something out there” and was scared when he saw it move towards him.

The Colossal Squid

On the 31st of October, I went to up to Te Papa with my family. It had been a couple of years since we last went, but the new display that I was interested in this time, was that of the colossal squid.

It was captured by New Zealand fishermen as it swam for food in the Antarctic waters. It took them nearly two hours to catch the squid and it was nearly 10 meters long.

As the colossal squid has a deep-sea habitat, it makes them difficult to study, and almost everything scientists know about them has been from carcasses that have washed up on beaches.

The colossal squid have the largest eyes in the animal kingdom, measuring some 25 centimeters in diameter. These massive eyes allow them to detect objects in the deep sea where most other animals would see nothing.

Their diet consists of fish, shrimp, and other squid, and some suggest they might even attack and eat small whales. They bring the food to their mouths using their long feeding tentacles.

Te Papa have a fantastic video documenting how he was caught, studied and then prepared for his display in the museum. He has shrunk a little bit – but still looks big to me!!!!!!

Looking backwards and looking forwards

Good morning I’m going to talk about looking backwards and looking forwards

Last year when I found out I was with Miss Boers I thought she was really strict and I was going to get into heaps of trouble and I started freaking out! However it didn’t take much time for me to realise that I’m very lucky to have Miss Boers as a teacher because she is so nice.

Not only thinking I was going to be in Miss Boers' class and that she was the scariest teacher ever, I was also going into a class that only had a couple of people from my class last year in it. I was going to be in a class with people I’ve never been with before so I really hoped I would make some new friends and I have, and they are great friends too.

I have excelled in my reading and maths this year; I have been attending Kip McGrath for an hour 20, on a Tuesday and Wednesday and have moved up a whole year group. Now I like reading and love maths, I feel a lot more confident in both subjects.

I loved going away for camp with my friends this year, our first camp away. I was pretty worried about what the food was going to be like, especially the vegetables, but the food was pretty good!! The train ride there was pretty fun.

I haven’t liked seeing my friends get hurt at school, like falling over and things. I miss school when it’s the school holidays, and I much prefer school, compared to school holiday programme. I didn’t enjoy the earthquake either; I guess we are all in the same situation on that one!!

I’m looking forward to next year, I’m nervous about the challenges that our school work may bring, having to work extra hard to be a good role model for the other children and another year with Miss Boers as she is great with guiding me and helping me in the right direction.

And even better yet….making more friendships!!!.
