Story about Time Zone

Today we were reading a story called Time zones.

so there was a story  about was the little boy called Carlo asking the older brother to call mum but he could not cause they don't want to wake there mum up from her sleep and the reason Carlo wanted to phone mum is that he missed her so much cause and then Carlo started laughing and said mum is not silly to sleep at lunchtime she's at work not at home you dummy that's what Carlo said and then his older brother said it is not lunchtime in Italy it is the middle of the night and Carlo was confused and the reason why Carlo and his older brother's mum was not there it was because the mum had to go to her cousins wedding and when she left Carlo was only eight years old and his older brother was ten when there mum left to Italy and they studded back at home with there dad.

What my next steps are is to read the article for more ideas for my writing.


What i enjoyed today was reading the article about Time Zone.

Have you read a Time Zone story?

S.A writing

Today we are writing about the site that we were on yesterday and the site can track were you are.

1.So the reason that latitude and longitude is important cause if you can see on the image there is a link to the site that you can go to it and you just type something in like where your house and also were your work or school is.

2.The link that takes you to the site it shows latitude and also it shows longitude and you can also mark were you want to go and also you can play a game with a friend and the game can be you mark somewhere and your friend has to go to the marker and wave at you to see if it is the right place.

3.Also if you go to the forest and you get stuck you can just call a friend to track your phone down or you can take the GPS out and you will see how latitude and longitude works and that how you will get out of the forest quick instead of getting stuck in the forest.
https://getlatlong.net/ this is the link to the site.

What i enjoyed was putting a marker on the photo and my friend going to find it.

What my next steps are is to write more and also describe more about the link and the GPS.

Do you have a GPS?

Today we are writing a S.A about latitude and longitude.

1. latitude and longitude is imported so if your in the sea sailing you need to yous it to get back to your house but if you don't got a GPS or you don't yous latitude and longitude  you will get lost and not no where to go.

2.latitude is a starting point that can help you to get out of places like your at the beach and your boat gets pushed away to west and you don't have a GPS to help you get out that's why latitude and longitude is imported in your life.

3.latitude and longitude is useful so when you go somewhere it will be like a GPS tracker so if you get stuck some where like in the forest the GPS can help you get out but if you don't have one then your life is there forever.

4.latitude and longitude is a describe position of any point like your home address and your school address and also if you go oversees and you don't know where to go that's why you have a GPS so if you have one you will know where your going and also were your house is or were your cousins house is.

Cook makes a chart

Today we are learning to find answers to the question to the text.

1.one of the thing captain cook does is a running survey.
and also he used longitude and latitude to run the running survey also longitude and latitude are 
imaginary lines that form a grid around our planet.cook also needed latitude and longitude to chart the islands's of new Zealand.

2.latitude and longitude is a thing on the map that shows you were to go and where it is safe to drop the anchor to stop the boat from moving so cook can look at the beach with his 

3.longitude runs vertically from the top of the earth to the bottom of the earth and they divide the world in to segments like an orange meeting the north and the south pole longitude is also based on the earth's rotation through 360 degrees,which happens once every twenty-four hours.  

4.latitude they also have a starting at Greenwich London this is called meridian and also the latitude go's around the earth to the other side 

5.cook also need both latitude and longitude to chart the island of new Zealand and also he needed to mark the landmarks cook would plot these on his chart also these were important for him to do a running survey.

Tupaia Master Navigator

Today we read a story about a man that has a lot of roles.

Roles of Tupaia


Tupaia was chosen to train with the ‘arioi and also he was a person that helped to be a guard and also an interpreter and what a interpreter means is a person who 
Translates languages to people and also does sign languages to people that can't hear very well and tupaia was also using his skills as a diplomat and he would also speak on both sides like he speaks that language and then after that he speaks the other language like for an Example he speaks tongan and then he speaks samoan the other thing about his roles was that he could communicate with the indigenous people from  Australia, but the languages were too different that they could know understand what they were talking about.
