Recount

Recount Orientation

On Friday the 4th of September, The 10 Esol class went on a class trip by taxi van to the Antarctica center with Mrs. Flores, Miss Briggs, and Mrs. Handley. 

At 8.40 in the morning, the 10 Esol class departed from Hornby high School to the Antarctica center. When we arrived at the Antarctica Centre at 9.00 am we met our instructor Jayne and we went to the workshop to talk about the explorers that had an adventure time in Antarctica back in the 1800s to 1900s.

Soon after the talk with Jayne, we got in the Hagglunds. We had a great time on the ride on the Hagglund with my classmates. The ride was bumpy and thrilling. The two instructors told us that the Hagglund was invented in Sweden to replace husky, of military transport and it was first used in 1970. It weighed up to 4530 kg and for 50,000 dollars. The best think about the Hagglund ride was when it went on the water and it floats.

Soon after the ride, we went to the penguin with Jayne. We meet the penguin and the lady who takes care of the penguins and feed them. It was time for the penguin to eat so the lady feeds them. The lady told us all of the penguins were rescued for e.g some have broken fin or blind. The oldest penguin was 17 years old. The little blue penguin is the little penguin in the world.

Soon after seeing the penguin and learning the penguin, we went to the 4D movie. We watch a movie called Ice Voyage. The movie was about the people tripping to Antarctica and the people in the movie climb a mountain to Antarctica. We were watching the movie and I felt like I was on the trip with them. The movie was a wild and thrilling movie.

Furthermore, watching the awesome great magnificent movie we had free time. Our teachers and instructor Jayne told us to go for a break. It was free time everyone went to eat food from home. Some of my classmates went to the cafe to buy some food but the food was expensive. The cafe is located beside the gift shop.

Soon after the free time, we went to the storm room. Before going into the storm room we prepared to wear some warm clothes and put a wrap on our shoes so that we won't seep on the ice. The storm room was dark and cold, we saw an igloo. When the wind started blowing everybody ran into the igloo. We were in the storm room of 8 minutes and the room temperature was -8 degree. When they turned it up to -18 degree everybody was very cold and everyone wanted to go to the small igloo. But not everyone could fit in there.

At 11.10 am we went to the gallery. The gallery full of explorers and stuff from Antarctica. We also did the booklet that we got from our teachers when the trip started. we also saw the amount of food the Explorers took when they went to Antarctica. The gallery was the final place in the Antarctica Centre that we went to before we head back to school.

At 12.40 am we went back to school.

Nanook Journey To Antarctic

The next day I woke up early than usual and the saw the beautiful orange-gold sun rising up the great white mountain that looked like fluffy candy floss. It was the first time Nanook Saw the sunrise. Furthermore, Hector woke up and wake all of the husky up. Hector said today is the day we are leaving Lyttelton and going to the Antarctic. A while later Nanook joined his team with Hector. They all hop into the boat and started looking back to the island. Hours passed by we couldn’t see any land anymore. The sea was all around as we were looking at the fishes the shark and the whale going to the Antarctic. A moment later the temperature starts drooping down and we could feel the cold breeze blooming to our fur. It was the Antarctic. We were at the bottom of the world. Bob (caretaker of all the husky) came out and put the harness on us and we learned on the Antarctic. It was my first in Antarctica but Hector came here already. It was his fifth time in Antarctica. My team and I were just newbies but Hector told us everything to know about the Antarctic. Hector, he was like a friend to me. Days pass by and our friendship became as strong as the stone, bigs the ocean in the world. In simple, we became best friends.

Water Is Life

Water Is Life

Quote of a famous person  Thomas Fuller  says we never know the worth of water till the well is dry. Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies, usually as a result of human activities. Water bodies include for example lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers, and groundwater. Water pollution results when contaminants are introduced into the natural environment. For example, releasing inadequately treated wastewater into natural water bodies can lead to the degradation of aquatic ecosystems. In turn, this can lead to public health problems for people living downstream. They may use the same polluted river water for drinking or bathing or irrigation. Water pollution is the leading worldwide cause of death and disease, e.g. due to water-borne diseases. 


Water is typically referred to as polluted .Due to these contaminants it either does not support a human use, such as drinking water, or undergoes a marked shift in its ability to support its biotin communities, such as fish. Water pollution is a major global problem. It requires ongoing evaluation and revision of water resource policy at all levels . It has been suggested that water pollution is the leading worldwide cause of death and diseases.


Sewage from domestic households, factories and commercial building . Sewage that treatment plant is often disposed into the sea. Sewage can be more problematic when people flush chemical and pharmaceutical substance down the toilet.

Hottest place and coldest place in the word Comparison

Hottest place and coldest place in the word Comparison

There are so many hot places and cold places on earth.  Death Valley is the hottest place on earth and the coldest place is Vostok Station and it is very cold there. 

Death Valley is the hottest place overall. Death Valley, California hosts some of the hottest temperatures ever recorded. The official highest air temperature ever recorded was 134°F (56.7°C) in Death Valley, California. The valley is a long, narrow basin that reaches down to below sea level, yet is walled by high, steep mountain ranges. The clear, dry air and sparse plant cover allow sunlight to heat the desert surface. The Death Valley population is 320 people. Desert Bighorn Sheep climbing mountain slopes. Death Valley is one of the driest places on earth. They are so perfectly adapted to arid environments, they don't need to drink water their entire lives.

The coldest place on Earth right now is actually the Vostok Station in Antarctica, where temperatures are currently sitting at a cool -38 degrees. Vostok Station is a Russian research station in inland Princess Elizabeth Land, Antarctica.  The absolute coldest place on Earth is in Antarctica, where Scientists at the National Snow and Ice Data Center used satellites to measure the lowest recorded temperature ever at minus-133.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Animals and plants that live in Antarctica have special adaptations that allow them to survive in extreme conditions. Blubber acts as an insulator, helping to keep the animals warm. Antarctic animals often have small extremities (flippers and feet) to reduce heat loss. Antarctica is a desert. It does not rain or snow a lot there. When it snows, the snow doesn't melt and builds up over many years to make large, thick sheets of ice, called ice sheets. Antarctica is made up of lots of ice in the form of glaciers, ice shelves, and icebergs.

The difference between the hottest and coldest places on the earth is the temperature. Both of the places have different temperatures and different climates. For example, the temperature in Death Valley  The similarities between the hottest and coldest places on earth are living things. Both of the places have living things in it.

Corona virus

Corona virus

1.What is the corona virus?

Corona viruses are a family of viruses known for containing strains that cause potentially deadly diseases in mammals and birds.

Corona virus is a world wide problem . The virus has infected more than 14,200 people in mainland China, with a further 100 cases reported from 23 other countries. Although the disease is mostly confined to China, where each of its provinces and territories have reported infections, corona virus has reached as far as the US, France, Germany, Australia, Japan, Canada and South Korea, the United Arab Emirates, the UK and Finland. At least 304 people have died in China plus one person outside of China .
