My Greek God poster

 After we did the differences of the Ancient and Current Olympics. Each of us has to do a poster of one of the Greek Gods that was presented in a slide, the choices were Zeus, Apollo and Poseidon, for me I chose Poseidon because his power was about commanding the Sea, Earthquakes and Horses. Here are some of Poseidon's Information that is below this. 

Now down here is my personal drawing of Poseidon from my own hands

Life Cycle of Maggots

Ever think Maggots are bad, disgusting and infected?

Journal Level 3 May 2020: The Longest Walk (2021 Version)

 The Longest Walk

The Rapsey family started walking from Cape Reinga all the way down to Bluff. They used the route called Te Araroa, which means “The Long Pathway”.

The Rapsey family started walking from Cape Reinga all the way down to Bluff.

The areas the family passed through were Te Oneroa-a-Tohe on the 2nd day of their walk, Te Oneroa is a Ninety Mile Beach and has 88 kilometres of sand. Next they reached Tamaki Makaurau which is a major city in the north island of New Zealand. They then visited the Blue Lake, The Blue Lake has one of the clearest freshwater in the world even if the bottom of the lake is 70 metres deep, you can still see the bottom.

The Rapsey Family stayed at Tramping Huts and houses.

Te Oneroa-a-Tohe also known as The Ninety Mile Beach (88 miles)

The Lake Tikitapu known as The Blue Lake, It is one of the Clearest freshwater's in the world also The bottom of the lake is 70 metres deep.

Journal Level 3 February 2012: Silas the Stretcher-Bearer (Telegram)

Meanwhile, the 19th and the first half of the 20th-century telegrams were commonly utilized to send critical or vital news. Telegrams were important back in WW1 as they permitted people to interact with other people on the battlefield or to send an urgent broadcast to the other troops. Some soldiers sent reports to their families, and soldiers on the front line were able to send data to and collect information from the officers in their headquarters throughout World War One and Two.
