Chapter Chat Week 6/7 Term 4 FABULOUS FINISH

This Term The Whetu Team has finished the book GHOST. I loved the ending because of Ghost (Castle Cranshaw) he stopped getting into trouble and Coach Brody (Ots Brody) always had Ghost's back. My favourite part of the book was when Coach Brody paid for the shoes that Ghost stole from the shop Everything Sports. Coach Brody was so kind to Ghost. Anyway, for my Fabulous Finish, I did a Sunny but I didn't do something that anyone else did I did a sun for Sunny because if you split his name half it would make Sun. I picked to do Sunny for my Fabulous Finish because he was always happy and he didn't do anything bad. The hardest thing was thinking of information to put on the sun. The easiest thing was cutting out Sunny's name.

Taylor B's Native Trees

For our Whetu Survivor task, the Brainiacs are going to choose an NZ New Native Tree or Plant and research about. I chose the Nikau Palm Tree because It didn't look like the other Trees it was different. 

I found out what the Scientific name is for the Nikau Palm Tree is its Rhopalostylis Sapida. (I don't know how to say Rhapalostylis Sapida so that will be my challenge.)  The Species name is R. sapida and the Genus name is Rhopalostylis. So there is 3 similar names for the Nikau Plam Tree. 

The place that you would the Nilau Palm Tree the species endemic to mainland NZ.  Its natural range of coast and lowland forest on the North Island, and on South Island as far south as Okarito mostly in the state or class of being muggy (43*20'S) in the west and side point (43*5'S) in the east.

This is what the Nikau Palm Tree looks like.      

Here's a drawing of The Nikau Palm Tree that I found.

Taylor's rope tying session (Figure 8)

Figure 8

The best way to use Figure knot is if you need to join to fencing wires together on the farm.

My difficulty rating for the Figure 8 Knot is 9/10 because at first, I was looking at the wrong instructions because Mrs. Loft's and Mrs. Heaven's website wasn't working so I had to fend for myself.

The learning power that I used the most for this knot is being me because I had to find out how to do this knot myself because I had the wrong instructions. 

Taylor's rope tying session (Butterfly Knot)

Butterfly Knot

The best way to use the Butterfly knot is if your Mum and Dad's car broke down and you call a toe truck and they can do the butterfly knot.

 My difficulty rating for the Butterfly Knot is 7/10 because at the start I couldn't do it but then I got the hang of it and got it right.

The learning power that I used the most for this knot is connecting because I asked people how to do this knot that a don't really talk to that much.

Taylor's rope tying session (Bowline Knot)

Bowline Knot

The best way to use Bowline knot is if you were on a camping trip and your closes were wet and you needed a washing line you could tie a Bowline know to two trees.

My difficulty rating for the Bowline Knot is 3/10 because this knot toke me two days to master.

The learning power that I used the most for this knot is resilience because it toke a long time and I didn't give up.
